The use of heuristic optimization in risk management of wind damage in forest planning (2007, background): “Mechanistic wind damage models based on tree and stand characteristics and environmental factors have been developed to predict the wind speeds needed for uprooting or breaking the stems of trees (e.g. Peltola et al., 1999; Gardiner et al., 2000; Ancelin et al., 2004).”
Consistent influence of tree diameter and species on damage in nine eastern North America tornado blowdowns (2007, background): “The strong influence of wind speed and exposure (Ancelin et al., 2004) can sometimes overwhelm other site traits: the deep, well-drained soils of Cathedral Pines did not moderate the severity of damage or increase the relative importance of trunk breakage when that highly exposed site was struck by ”
The stability of different silvicultural systems: a wind-tunnel investigation (2005, background): “Such measurements can be very valuable in developing and testing the modelling tools that are now becoming available (e.g. Ancelin et al ., 2004 ; Cucchi et al ., 2005 ) to evaluate the risk to the whole population of trees in stands of complex structure.”
Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “Considerably more sophisticated modelling systems have been developed to assess in much greater detail the susceptibility of forests to wind damage (Gardiner et al. 2000; Ancelin et al. 2004; Zeng et al. 2004; Achim et al. 2005; Cucchi et al. 2005; Schelhaas 2008).”
