Tree uprooting

Uprooting is a form of treefall in which the root plate of a tree is torn from the soil, disrupting and mixing it and leaving a pit-mound.[1][2]

A fallen tree with exposed root plate.

Transplanting

Small trees can be replanted if their root system is well attached to the trunk.[3] Trees can suffer from transplant shock when moved to new environment, and that causes the tree not to be able to root itself properly.[3]
