Tree anchorage against wind connects to the characteristics of the root-soil plate, which can be observed during the tree-pulling experiments. This study explores the mechanism behind trees responding to varying wind speeds during storms and cyclones. The researchers provide new insights into the resistance of trees to natural calamities that may improve forest management strategies against storms and cyclones.
