The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Mechanical Resistance of Different Tree Species to Rockfall in the French Alps (2005, background): “Only in the literature concerning wind damage to forests, can comparisons of different species be found with regards to their mechanical resistance (Meunier et al., 2002; Peltola et al., 2000; Stokes et al., 2000).”
The physiological basis of containerised tree seedling ‘transplant shock’: a review (2005, background): “Apart from lack of acclimatisation to wind, the risk of stem breakage is exacerbated if seedlings have large and broad tops, have a large height: stem diameter ratio (Essen 1994; Munishi and Chamshama 1994; Guo 1999; Peltola et al. 2000) or have inadequately lignified stems due to rapid growth or nu”
A Numerical Investigation into the Influence of Soil Type and Root Architecture on Tree Anchorage (2005, background): “Typical tests include winching trees sideways until failure and measuring the force necessary to cause failure (Cucchi et al., 2004; Peltola et al., 2000; Stokes, 1999).”
Root anchorage of inner and edge trees in stands of Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) growing in different podzolic soil conditions (2004, methodology): “This critical turning moment allows comparisons between species due to their different mechanical behaviour (Savill 1983; Peltola et al. 2000), which could be explained by stem characteristics, e.g. taper (Meunier et al. 2002) or root system architecture and anchorage strength (Stokes 1999).”
