This is really interesting information about which I had not thought.
However, it does not appear to be directly relevant to tree damage out of
the "tree care" context.
If I interpret Roth correctly,
It would be nice if he could provide us a link to the "Best Management
practices for Tree Risk Assessment," especially if it relates to breakage or
treefall potential. If its about risk assessment for tree-care personnel
during tree care operations, it would be interesting, but not directly
relevant to the spontaneous events like limb-shedding and tree falling due
to compromise of its structural integrity if different dynamic environments
(e.g. wind or no wind or strong wind, light winds, etc.).

I work in the arboriculture and forestry industry. The industry takes
safety
as it's number one safety priority and tool.
The International Society of Arboricultural has published Best Management
practices for Tree Risk Assessment. Also Tree Care industry Association has
a
published an American National Standard for tree care operations-- Tree,
Shrub, and other woody plant Management-Standard practices (tree risk
