Seedling recruitment in a hurricane‐driven tropical forest: light limitation, density‐dependence and the spatial distribution of parent trees (2005, methodology): “…we only have an estimate of damage for a small subset of potential parent trees but we can use these data to estimate the probability that individual adults may have been killed or heavily damaged by the hurricane as a function of tree size and taxonomic identity (cf Canham et al. 2001).”
Intermediate disturbance in a late‐successional hemlock‐northern hardwood forest (2004, background): “Canham et al. (2001) found large Tsuga to be more vulnerable to blowdown than other species, but their model was fitted for a more severe storm.”
Intermediate wind disturbance in an old-growth beech-fir forest in southeastern Slovenia (2006, background): “Nevertheless, these observations suggest that factors that weaken the structural properties of a tree contribute to windthrow susceptibility (Webb 1989; Canham et al. 2001).”
Resilience Enhancement Strategy for Distribution Systems Under Extreme Weather Events (2018, background): “where Sk is the wind intensity (0 − 1 scale) at conductor k, and can be calculated by dividing the local 3− s wind speed by the maximum wind speed in the studied area [13]; DH is the tree diameter at its breast height (1.”
Disturbance dynamics of old-growth Picea rubens forests of northern Maine (2005, background): “Similarly, the absence of stand-replacing wind-throw may seem inconsistent with red spruce’s known susceptibility to wind damage (Cary 1896; Canham et al. 2001).”
Direct and indirect effects of alien insect herbivores on ecological processes and interactions in forests of eastern North America (2010, background): “…America, natural decline and mortality of aging trees generates gradual but ongoing formation of small gaps, while storms can generate episodic formation of numerous gaps, which can vary in size depending on the intensity of the disturbance (Runkle 1990; Canham et al. 2001; Nagel and Svoboda 2008).”
Species resistance and community response to wind disturbance regimes in northern temperate forests (2006, background): “†From eqn 1 (reproduced from Canham et al. 2001).”
Detecting evidence for CO2 fertilization from tree ring studies: The potential role of sampling biases (2012, background): “For example, large trees are more susceptible to wind blow [Canham et al., 2001] and more vulnerable to drought [Phillips et al., 2010] probably related to increased hydraulic limitations for large trees [Ryan et al., 2006].”
