Abstract
An analysis of tree stand stability relative to Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW) classification of maximum wind velocities Analysing tree susceptibility to uprooting one has to compare external power acting on a tree with its resistance to uprooting (critical moment). The critical uprooting moment for a tree depends on both plant parameters and substratum. Results of an assessment of critical moments of studied pine and black alder tree stands are presented in this paper. Field studies consisted of uprooting trees with parallel measurements of critical moments. Results were compared with the moments of uprooting power of extreme winds. These moments were related to classification of maximum wind velocities proposed by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW).
