Consistent influence of tree diameter and species on damage in nine eastern North America tornado blowdowns (2007, background): “…of a particular disturbance in a particular stand or landscape contributes to more informed decision-making (Savill, 1983; Nowacki and Kramer, 1998; Gardiner and Quine, 2000), as well as greater understanding of the influence of disturbances on forest dynamics (White and Jentsch, 2001).”
Wind tunnel measurements of crown streamlining and drag relationships for several hardwood species (2005, methodology): “, Gardiner et al. 2000; Moore and Gardiner 2001). Mayhead (1973) cautioned that wind-speed-specific drag coefficients varied among species.”
Root anchorage of inner and edge trees in stands of Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) growing in different podzolic soil conditions (2004, methodology): “From these tests, the critical turning moment needed to uproot or break the tree was calculated and related to tree size variables, e.g. stem weight (Fraser 1962; Somerville 1979; Papesch et al. 1997; Gardiner et al. 2000; Meunier et al. 2002).”
Impact of bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) disturbance on timber production and carbon sequestration in different management strategies under climate change (2008, background): “…state of the forest for its vulnerability to a disturbance agent in a static approach (e.g., Peltola et al., 1999; Gardiner and Quine, 2000; Gardiner et al., 2000; Gan, 2004; Achim et al., 2005; Netherer and Nopp-Mayr, 2005; Olofsson and Blennow, 2005), fewer examples exist (e.g., Lexer…”
Does steep terrain influence tree stability? A field investigation (2005, methodology): “Our sensitivity analysis used the GALES method (Gardiner et al. 2000) to reveal the relative importance of each input parameter that is affected by slope.”
Wind tunnel measurements of crown streamlining and drag relationships for three conifer species (2004, methodology): “This approach is used in mechanistic windthrow risk models such as ForestGales and HWIND (Gardiner et al. 2000).”
