DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2019.01.020
Abstract: Abstract Powerful storms, consisting of strong gusts and winds, damage forests. Therefore, foresters need forest management strategies to reduce the damage risk. This paper focused on the damage patterns within the forest as the final… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.06.054
Abstract: Abstract The risk of snow and wind damage should be considered when deciding forest management actions, as it can greatly change forest development and its accompanying services. In this study, we develop models that predict… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110298
Abstract: In recent years, forest damage caused by typhoons has occurred frequently in Hokkaido, northern Japan. According to predictive reports, a typhoon's intensity increases and it then maintains its intensity as it moves north. The relationship… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-63580-w
Abstract: Extreme wind events are among the costliest natural disasters in Europe, causing severe damages every year. Despite the significant impact, damages related to windstorms are an understudied topic in academia. For damage estimates, the community… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/20421338.2018.1491138
Abstract: The post-harvest quality of ‘Triumph’ persimmon fruits grown in the Western Cape, South Africa varies with seasons. Poor post-harvest fruit quality is assumed to be associated with seasons that are characterized by violent wind occurrences.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/forestry/cpx006
Abstract: It is important to find effective forest management strategies to reduce wind damage risk, which is expected to increase due to climate change and increasing areas of planted forests. Thinning is one of the most… read more here.
