The effects of climate change on trees in rights-of-way (ROW) is already becoming evident. Dynamic conditions in ROWs call for more insightful tools and data for decision-making. One tool to assist in mapping efforts on the stability of edge and corridor trees is the implementation of tree biomechanics as an additional layer to better understand trees in ROWs. This webinar explores this topic in depth and how it can add more value to existing programs and results.
