Near-surface tornado wind field estimation using damage patterns
… the near-surface wind field of a tornado using tree damage, known as tree-fall analysis, is often used as an independent wind speed estimation method. Tree-fall analysis is exceptionally useful in forested areas where structural damage is limited. In addition, field observations showed similar …

Detection of Mortality in Tropical Forests Using Remote Sensing: From Treefall Gaps to Large Disturbances
… forest structure. At small scale, branch or tree-falls gaps and subsequent recovery are important mechanisms for carbon cycling. At landscape scale, large disturbances (blow-downs) may also play a role on the structure and composition of tropical forests. Quantitative studies of natural …

The soil seed bank in Agathis australis (D. Don) Lindl. (kauri) forests of northern New Zealand and its potential role in secondary successions
… the subsoil is disturbed by the uprooting of trees or the forest floor is exposed by tree-fall (not covered by tree-fall debris).

Age, forest structure, and disturbance history of five potential old-growth forests in eastern Kentucky's Cumberland Plateau
… forests in eastern Kentucky. Sites possessing >5 trees/ha established prior to 1780, and being similar in disturbance history and forest structure to other regional OG were to be considered OG. Shillalah Creek (SC) and Hensley-Pine Mountain (HP) possess no in plot trees established prior to 1780, …

Habitat Relationships of Breeding Birds in Bottomland Hardwood Forests of the Altamaha River, Georgia
… preferred stations with less variability in tree diameter and more shrubs. My study illustrates the significance of the Altamaha River bottomlands for the conservation of a diverse assemblage of breeding birds, including numerous Neotropical migratory species of regional conservation concern. …

Analysis of residential building performance in tornadoes as a function of building and hazard characteristics
… using results of a wind field model based on tree fall patterns developed at National Institute of Standards and Technology and enhanced at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This model provided an estimate of wind speeds throughout most of Joplin that was independent of building …
