Other claims from this paper (3)

Method / resource The modeling method was applied to a second tree in Amherst.
Method / resource The models yielded fragility curves for tree failure as a function of mean wind speed.
Observation Parametric studies led the authors to a better understanding of tree dynamics and stem-branch relations.
