Plant vibrations is a wide subject that covers topics ranging from the swaying of trees under
wind to elastic waves made by an insect on a leaf to communicate with its neighbors. For this …

Recent research has indicated an increase in the likelihood and impact of tree failure. The
potential for trees to fail relates to various biomechanical and physical factors. Strikingly …

Wind damage is an important driver of forest structure and dynamics, but it is poorly
understood in natural broadleaf forests. This paper presents a new approach in the study of …

The architecture of trees is the result of constrained, morphologically plastic growth–
constrained by an underlying architectural model embedded in their genome, the structure …

The relationship between form and function in trees is the subject of a longstanding debate
in forest ecology and provides the basis for theories concerning forest ecosystem structure …

This review deals with the current research on wind-tree interaction, focusing on methods
and technologies applied on tree monitoring. 101 studies were included and classified …

Trees are the most common cause of utility damage and power outages during storms in the
northeastern United States. Previous studies on tree sway and risk of wind-throw have …

Wind damage is a significant driver of forest structure, ecology and carbon cycling in both
temperate and tropical regions, but most of the literature on wind damage focusses on …

Forest preservation and management are paramount for sustainable mitigation of climate
change, timber production, and the economy. However, the potential of trees and forests to …

This review of tree biomechanics covers recent research publications that offer new insights
into how trees respond to mechanical loads and resist failure, especially in winds …
