Three-dimensional reconstruction of stems for assessment of taper, sweep and lean based on laser scanning of standing trees (2004, background): “…complete stem of a tree without limitation to the crown base would be of interest mainly for applications where abiotic site factors such as slopes, a combination of slopes and light influences (Alexander 1997) or wind (Niklas & Spatz 2000) and growth response of the trees should be investigated.”
An evaluation of the uniform stress hypothesis based on stem geometry in selected North American conifers (2002, unknown): “Advances in computational capacity allow a more direct evaluation of physical stresses and strains within the stem (West et al. 1989; Morgan and Cannell 1994; Niklas and Spatz 2000 ); however, the difficulty in measuring wind profiles in stands with tall trees and collecting detailed field data on ”
