Physiological and Physical Strategies to Minimize Damage at the Branch–Stem Junction of Trees: Using the Finite Element Method to Analyze Stress in Four Branch–Stem Features

This study analyzed the mechanical and physiological strategies associated with four features in the branch–stem junction of a tree, namely the U-shaped branch attachment, the branch collar, the branch bark ridge, and the roughened lower stem. Models were established for each stage of tree growth by...
