Over the last 30 years, researchers have begun to employ biomechanical principles to
understand the stability of urban trees. This review concentrates on literature pertaining to …

Many tree-dwelling species inhabit microhabitats that develop slowly in diseased or injured
trees. Conservation planning would benefit from explicit knowledge of these processes …

Internal decays in trees can rapidly escalate into a full decomposition of the inner structural
layer, ie, the “heartwood” layer, due to the action of aggressive diseases and fungal …

Visual risk assessment remains the primary means of gauging urban tree safety and is a key
facet of storm preparation and response. While past research has investigated the …

Oleoresin extracted from copaiba (Copaifera spp.: Leguminosae) trees is a popular
traditional medicine in Amazonia. I studied production ecology from three copaiba types in …

Aspects of the engineering theory treating the elastic stability of vertical stems and
cantilevered leaves supporting their own weight and additional wind-induced forces (drag) …

• Leaf-stem size relationships over ontogeny were studied here in three different lineages of
hollow-stemmed myrmecophytes in order to understand how a new stem function affects …

Tree cavity dependent animals are sensitive to changes in cavity availability in forests. Fire
is important in the long-term dynamics of cavity creation and loss, but there are few data on …

Constructing hollows or cavities in trees with chainsaws is an emerging approach to
manage hollow-dependent species in hollow depleted landscapes. Small-scale …

Sixteen percent of tree stems 10 cm diameter or greater recorded in seven 1 ha plots in
Rabongo Forest, Uganda had stem damage attributable to elephants (Loxodonta africana) …
