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 …

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 …

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 …

Operational forest fire simulation models typically incorporate reduction factors to modify
winds forecast to meteorological standards for open environments so that they characterise …

The increased threats by terroristic actions require the protection of urban areas. The
protective potential of currently available protective systems is often recognizable, which …

Several methodologies related to the biomechanical risk assessment and the uprooting and
breaking potential of palms are reviewed and evaluated in this study. Also a simple …

Urban forest ecosystems are being developed to provide various environmental services
(eg, the preservation of urban trees) to urban inhabitants. However, some trees are …

Oban Forest health was assessed using tree slenderness coefficient (SC) and percent
canopy cover as indicators. Systematic sampling technique was adopted for plot locations in …

Cuatro métodos de evaluación visual del riesgo se aplicaron en 30 árboles urbanos con
niveles de riesgo en la ciudad de Talca (Chile). Los métodos utilizados fueron:“Avaliação de …

The increasing threat of terrorist attacks requires the protection of urban spaces. The
protective function of currently available protection systems is often clearly visible, which can …
