Extreme value modelling of storm damage in Swedish forests
Forests cover about 56% of the land area in Sweden and forest damage due to strong winds has been a recurring problem. In this paper we analyse recorded storm damage in Swedish forests for the years 1965–2007. During the period 48 individual storm events with a total damage of 164 Mm3 have been reported with the severe storm on 8 to 9 January 2005, as the worst with 70 Mm3 damaged forest. For t...
متن کاملIce Storm Damage to Virginia Coastal Plain Forests dur- ing the Christmas 1998 Ice Storm
On December 23-25, 1998, a major ice storm struck southeastern Virginia The storm-deposited glaze ice felled trees and limbs, causing a power outage and highway blockage. Between Februmy and April, 1999, we recorded occurrence, severity, and type of damage to trees over 2.5 cm dbh in nine mostly gently sloping plots in Matoaka Woods at the College of William and Macy. Frequency and severity of ...
متن کاملVariation in Susceptibility to Hurricane Damage as a Function of Storm Intensity in Puerto Rican Tree Species
One of the most significant challenges in developing a predictive understanding of the long-term effects of hurricanes on tropical forests is the development of quantitative models of the relationships between variation in storm intensity and the resulting severity of tree damage and mortality. There have been many comparative studies of interspecific variation in resistance of trees to wind da...
متن کاملEvaluation of Ikonos Satellite Imagery for Detecting Ice Storm Damage to Oak Forests in Eastern Kentucky
Ice storms are a recurring landscape-scale disturbance in the eastern U.S. where they may cause varying levels of damage to upland hardwood forests. High-resolution Ikonos imagery and semiautomated detection of ice storm damage may be an alternative to manually interpreted aerial photography. We evaluated Ikonos multispectral, winter and summer imagery as a tool for detecting forest canopy dama...
متن کاملEstimation of species diversity of trees and shrubs using ETM+ sensor data (Case study of forests in Qalajeh Kermanshah province)
The use of remote sensing techniques as a suitable solution to estimate the levels of species diversity is of high importance for the sustainable management of forests. In order to investigate the potential of using sensor data from Landsat 7 ETM+ to estimate species diversity in the Zagros forests, digital data related to the August 7, 2002 from forests in the Qalajeh Kermanshah Province were ...
