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 …

Tree biomechanics studies using dynamic methods of analysis are reviewed. The emphasis
in this review is on the biomechanics of open-grown trees typically found in urban areas …

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

Oscillation damping is of vital importance for trees to withstand strong gusty winds. Tree
adaptation to wind loading takes place over a long time and during a storm only passive …

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 …

While often considered “open grown,” urban trees are often found in relatively close
proximity to neighboring trees, buildings, and other elements of urban infrastructure. These …

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 …

Tree failure may cause significant economic and societal disruptions in urban environments.
A better understanding of the relationship between branches and stem as they affect the …

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 …
