Ben,
Andrew asked about the stability of the retained trees, not woodland
management.... If Foresters have a way of assessing the likelihood of failure
of these trees, please educate us. Otherwise David pointed out that the
consulting arborist community has definitely devised a method to give answers
to that question. Tree Pull Testing. From my 25 + years looking at tree risk
assessments, I have not discovered another way that can give good answers
about the stability of trees...
I am also not sure how your "art" of where and when to thin has a lot of
relevance to this specific question...
But I am keen to find out.
Cheers,
Philip

tree group
Hi David,
This is precisley why Arborists should not take on woodland management.
Arboriculture is ok and has a place in the urban enviroment, maybe. It is
absolutly usseles in the context of Sylviculture.
When to thin how much to thin and where to thin is an art form. Not a science.
Cheers
Ben

impact of tree removal on the stability of adjacent retained trees.>> Hi
Andrew The way I'd go about this is to run TreeCalc on the exposed trees to
get a handle on the Basic Safety Factor. Then have a look through Paul
Muir's 2019 AA Conference presentation, and head to the section where he
talks about modifying the wind load, around slide 49.
