Mechanical interactions between treesThis research is aimed to understand how trees mechanically interact during storms/typhoons. ABCDABCDamage in forests in Toyama caused by a typhoon in 2004 (left) and snow and wind damage in Basque, Spain (right)Estimation of forest damage using aerial photos2. Agent-based modeling of damage propagation Damage propagation in forests caused by strong wind has been simulated using agent-based modeling approach coupling with the theories of boundary-layer and silviculture. 3. Forest damage caused by tropical and extra-tropical cyclonesForest damage due to strong wind and heavy raining from tropical and extra-tropical cyclones has been statistically analyzed at regional and county level in order to find the spatial/temporal tendency of damage occurrence.ABter sttrm…DAMAGE!BeBtreWINDDivision of Forest and EnvironmentalSymbiosis Sciences35
