Mary Duryea; Eliana Kampf; Ramon Littell Arboriculture & Urban Forestry 2007. doi:10.48044/jauf.2007.010
Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association Urban forest loss rose with wind speed.
- Observation Nine named tree species showed the highest wind survival.
- Association Laurel oak survival was significantly poorer than live oak and sand live oak after four hurricanes.
- Association Larger trees lost more branches than medium and smaller trees.
- Association Leaf loss was positively related to survival.
- Association Grouped trees survived better than individual trees.
- Association Species with higher wood density survived better.
- Association Dense-crowned species survived best.
- Method / resource The authors developed relative wind resistance lists for southeastern coastal plain trees.
- Recommendation The authors advise caution using the lists because no tree is windproof.
- Recommendation The authors advise considering local soil, practices, age, health and urban forest conditions.
