Researchers have developed various methods and tools for nondestructively testing urban
trees for decay and stability. A general review of these methods includes simple visual …

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 …

Rubber trees in coastal habitats are exposed to a high degree of wind stress. An algorithm-
hardware synergetic methodology was developed for investigating and predicting rubber …

Use of mangrove ecosystems for coastal flood protection requires reliable predictions of
mangrove wave attenuation, especially if this capacity lessens due to storm‐induced forest …

Key message Root anchorage strength and stiffness can be represented by small number of
root and soil parameters. Root morphology represents the majority of these factors. Abstract …

In urbanized areas, wind disturbances can be intensified by anthropogenic stresses under
which trees may become hazardous, creating serious threats and damages to nearby …

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 …

More than 280 trees were uprooted in winching tests monitored by high resolution
inclinometers at the base of the trees and a forcemeter mounted in the winching line. The …

The mechanical response of a well-instrumented Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) tree under
controlled winch loading was monitored. The main aims of this study were to understand the …

Failure of trees in high winds is of interest to a broad array of stakeholders: foresters,
meteorologists, homeowners, insurance industry, parks and recreation management …
