Sympodial trees are prevalent in tropical and subtropical urban areas while suffering the
threat of wind storms every year, which leads to unpredictable economic losses and …

The response of four Scots pine trees to wind excitation was measured and analyzed. We
investigated whether wind-induced tree sway in the fundamental mode is affected and …

The response of four trees in a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) plantation to wind loading
was studied using time series decomposition methods. For this purpose, wind speed and …

In forested landscapes, the presence of trees enhances turbulent airflow governing the
exchange of momentum, heat, and gas between the atmosphere and biosphere, especially …

Although responses of aerial tree parts to wind excitation are of crucial importance for
deciduous broadleaved tree stability against wind loading, only a few field studies have …

The parameterization of hybrid-mechanistic storm damage models is largely based on the
results of tree pulling tests. The tree pulling tests are used for imitating the quasi-static wind …

This study demonstrates a new method to assess the anchorage of urban trees by
quantitative analysis of the relationship between root-plate inclination and regional wind …

Trees are invaluable to urban landscape and environmental quality. However, tree failure
can jeopardize life and property. Although the sway behavior of many coniferous species in …

Pruning is commonly used to mitigate the risk of tree failure by selectively removing tree
parts exposed to the wind, but there have been few studies examining changes in wind …

During pruning, arborists often intend to increase a tree's resistance to wind loading by
selectively removing branches, but there are few studies examining the efficacy of these …
