• Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: influence of crown structure (2005, background): “Because the bark has been included, but is expected to make a negligible contribution to tree stiffness, E is the structural Young’s modulus of the entire stem rather than just the value for green wood (Spatz and Bruechert 2000).”
• An evaluation of the uniform stress hypothesis based on stem geometry in selected North American conifers (2002, unknown): “Stems, however, are not composed of uniform material ‐ the modulus of elasticity and a covariate of modulus of elasticity, specific gravity, generally decrease with stem height (Bryant 1950; Spatz and Bruechert 2000 ).”
