Correlation of wind speed and root plate tilt of trees in urban environment
Tilt of > 0,2° at wind speed of 50-60 km/h leads to critical tilt values at gale winds.

Are bumps an indicator of decay in London plane trees?
Often, the stem surface of mature London plane trees is bumpy. Our results, derived from a thorough characterization of the stem surface, tomography, and thermography, show that this does not indicate inner defects.
Analysis of regional variation of height growth and slenderness in populations of six urban tree species using a quantile regression approach
Our data do not support the use of a threshold value of slenderness in tree risk assessment.
A field study on slenderness and tree failure
In spruce, the effect of slenderness on maximum bending moments is negligible.
