Tree biomechanics, or the study of the mechanical forces acting
on tree structure, is recognized as an area of knowledge essential
for tree care and preservation. This enlightening publication
contains 14 chapters that discuss the biological and structural
aspects of tree mechanics, tree failures, tree branches, tree
support systems, and tree roots. We cannot expand our knowledge
of tree biology without understanding tree biomechanics,
and we cannot attempt to understand tree structure without
knowing its basis in biology. (©2002, softcover, 179 pp.)
