- Abstract
The method of vertical electrical sounding is applied to derive the spatial characteristic of the dc resistivity ρ of a living pine trunk, ρ = L-0.85, and the frequency characteristic of the ac resistance R of the same pine trunk, R = f-0.053. The results are simulated by the methods of fractal geometry, according to which ρ = L− h + 2 and $$ R \sim f^{ - \tfrac{3} {h} + 1} $$, where h is the walk dimension of the electric current in the trunk. From comparison between the experimental and theoretical results, it follows that h = 2.85 and fractal dimension D = 1/h = 0.35. Since D = 1, conducting layers form a Cantor set.
