Modeling spatial variation in radiata pine slenderness (height/diameter ratio) and vulnerability to wind damage under current and future climate in New Zealand

Wind is a significant disturbance agent in forests that is likely to become more prevalent as plantation forests are increasingly grown at high stand density to maximize yields and carbon sequestration. Although research has used models to characterize plantation wind risk at discrete sites, little...
