Winds over topography and inside forests produce mechanical reactions in trees, and eventually failure in stems and roots when stressed by storms. The mechanics of these reactions and the physiological responses to wind in leaves, stems and root systems, and the important ecological consequences of wind-throw are described in this book. Management techniques of forests in windy climates are detailed, including the use of models predicting risk of wind damage. It is clear that the whole field of wind effects on trees has benefited from recent multi-disciplinary research, and significant advances in knowledge of most parts of the subject have been made in the last decade. This book brings the up-to-date theories, methodologies and results together, and gives the reader a sense of coherence in this complex but fascinating field. Table of contents: Part I. Airflow over Topgraphy and in Forests: 1. Turbulent airflow in forests on flat and hilly terrain 2. The interaction of the wind and tree movement in forest canopies 3. Edge effects on diffusivity in the roughness layer over a forest 4. A wind tunnel study of turbulent airflow in forest clearcuts 5. Testing of a linear airflow model for flow over complex terrain and subject to stable, structured stratification 6. Predicting windspeeds for forest area in complex terrain Part II. Mechanics of Trees under Wind Loading: 7. Understanding wind force on trees 8. Peak mechanical stress in sitka spruce stems 9. Experimental analysis and mechanical modelling of wind induced tree sways 10. Failure modes of trees and related failure criteria 11. An experimental investigation of the effects of dynamic loading on coniferous trees planted on wet mineral soils 12. Measurement of wind induced tree-root stresses in New Zealand 13. New methods for the assessment of wood quality in standing trees Part III. Tree Physiological Responses: 14. Wind induced physiological and developmental responses in trees 15. Responses of young trees to wind 16. Wind stability factors in tree selection 17. Development of buttresses in rainforest trees Part IV. Impacts of Wind on Forests and Ecology: 18. Hurricane disturbance regimes in temperate and tropical forest ecosystems 19. A comparison of methods for quantifying catastrophic wind damage to forests 20. Windthrow and airflow in a subalpine forest Part V. Risk Assessment and Management Response: 21. Assessing the risk of wind damage to forests 22. Forest wind damage risk assessment for environmental impact studies 23. Stem number regulation models and wind stability in Norway spruce stands 24. Thinning regime in stands of Norway spruce subjected to snow and wind damage 25. A synopsis of windthrow in British Columbia 26. Wind damage to New Zealand state plantation forests 27. The experience of the Selwyn Plantation Board, New Zealand. Wind profoundly effects tree growth and form and can cause extensive forest damage. This book covers the whole subject: from behaviour of wind to mechanical and physiological responses of trees. New approaches are detailed for predicting damage and exploring the ways forest management copes on wind-prone sites. Covers wind behaviour, mechanical physiological responses of trees and forest management. 501 pages - 185 line diagrams 13 half-tones 39 tables Versandfertig in 3-5 Tagen, Hardcover, Neuware, Offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten).
