Title: Tree Tolerance of Site Development Activities
Description: Site development activities, including land clearance and construction, can generate soil and tree damage. Each tree species, and each unique individual stem, respond to stress and strain of site development activities in different ways. Tree species can vary widely in their response to mechanical injury, pest attack, soil modifications, and micro-climatic changes associated with construction. As more tree tissues, physical space and essential resources are disrupted and exempted from tree use, the more a tree must effectively react to these changes to insure survival.
