The ecological impact of flooding: a study of tree damage
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this research was to identify factors affecting tree damage in the historical Minot flood of 2011. We hypothesized that tree height, identity, origin, and maximum water height affect in the severity of damage sustained by a tree in a flood event. All these factors were significant but highly interactive. The results from this research can influence planting practices in valleys and other flood prone areas to mitigate future damage.
