Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Judging Hazard From Native Trees in California Recreational Areas: A Guide for Professional Forester
Most tree failures are associated with wind, snow, or ice, and involve some type of weakening defect. But storm conditions may occasionally be so extreme that any forested area can temporarily be rendered unsafe by falling tops, branches, or entire trees, even if not defective. Completely sound trees have been snapped off or uprooted during such exceptionally severe storms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
