Tree pulling experiments were conducted in Eastern Finland (1995–1996) involving 51
Scots pines (Pinus sylvestris L.), 33 Norway spruces (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and 11 birches …

A database was constructed of tree-anchorage measurements from almost 2000 trees from
12 conifer species that were mechanically overturned on 34 sites in the United Kingdom …

Eugenia grandis (Wight) is grown in urban environments throughout Malaysia and root
systems are often damaged through trenching for the laying down of roads and utilities. We …

Wind affects the structure and functioning of a forest ecosystem continuously and may cause
significant economic loss in managed forests by reducing the yield of recoverable timber …

I have attempted to reach a wide range of readers, from those with no formal forestry
education through to forest scientists involved in research. This has meant dealing with …

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 …

The maximum resistive bending moments (Mb) were measured for 164 Radiata pine (Pinus
radiata D. Don) trees spanning a range of sizes and growing on six different New Zealand …

The capacity of individual trees to dissipate the energy released by rockfalls has previously
only been quantified based on data obtained from static tree-pulling tests or from dynamic …

Static winching tests were carried out in order to determine the mechanical resistance of
Maritime pine to overturning. The tested stands were selected according to podzolic soil …

Wind causes significant damage to forests in central Québec, and with the current move to
more refined silvicultural practices, concerns are increasing. This study investigates the …
