This pic taken in the Daintree Rainforest shows a tree with buttress roots. These roots essentially spread out to form a better support and also better access to nutrients for the tree when it's in shallow soil. This is often the case in rainforests because all the nutrients available sit near the top of the soil.
Nice work - these larger pics look really good eh?. Digging the info too - keep 'em coming!
