DESCRIPTION:Wind impacts trees and forests in two ways: (1) through direct
  damage and (2) by causing them to adapt their growth forms. The effects o
 f wind are relatively well understood in plantation forests\, where they c
 an have severe economic impacts. I will discuss how knowledge and techniqu
 es from the plantation industry can be transferred to tropical forests\, a
 nd so aid conservation efforts. I will also give an overview the relevant 
 research on this topic and outline future research directions.
