This paper presents a review of our current understanding of the process of wind damage to
trees and forests, with a particular, but not exclusive focus, on planted and managed forests …

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 …

Forests are susceptible to sudden disturbances, particularly those induced by wind, leading
potentially to important ecological changes and economic losses. The extensive …

In tropical forests, trees strategically balance growth patterns to optimise fitness amid
multiple environmental stressors. Wind poses the primary risk to a tree's mechanical stability …

Measuring the three-dimensional motion of trees at every position remains challenging as it
requires dynamic measurement technology with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution …

The risk of wind damage to European forests is expected to increase due to the changed
climate. Research efforts in forestry have been focussing on the development of analytical …

Snowpack accumulation in forested watersheds depends on the amount of snow intercepted
in the canopy and its partitioning into sublimation, unloading, and melt. A lack of canopy …

Quantifying wind loads acting on forest trees remains a major challenge of wind-tree-
interaction research. Under wind loading, trees respond with a complex motion pattern to the …

The overall response of above-ground tree parts to wind loading consists of torsional and
bending vibrations. While bending vibrations have been frequently measured in previous …

This study examines the intricate relationship between the hierarchical architecture of fractal
trees and their dynamic properties, namely modal frequencies and mode shapes. It focuses …
