Resumo: Objective: To analyze the effect of wind gusts on the root plate inclination in urban trees and to identify the dendrometric variables that most interfere with the trees’ response regarding the root plate inclination in order to contribute to the management of urban planning aimed at sustainable cities. Methodology: The inclination data was collected by Tree Motion Sensors (TMS), which record the actual inclination of the tree root plate. The maximum and average slope and the number of slope occurrences were related to the maximum wind gust and the dendrometric characteristics of the trees. Originality/Relevance: The Urban Forest is fundamental for improving the environmental and housing quality of cities. However, trees encounter stressful conditions in the urban environment which can compromise their structure and stability, increasing the risk of falling. Research that analyzes the effects of loads exerted by natural elements on urban trees can provide relevant information for predicting fall risks. Results: Wind was the factor responsible for approximately 51% of the occurrences of root plate tilting and most of the trees showed a tendency to sway in a southwest/northeast direction. Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. was the species with the greatest inclination angle. DBH and crown diameter were the variables which showed a significantly strong correlation with root plate inclination. Contributions to management: These results can help to develop preventive measures against tree falls, contributing to the effective management of urban forestry in order to establish more sustainable and resilient cities, so as to support sustainability actions applied to urban planning.

Metodología: Los datos de inclinación se recogieron mediante sensores de Tree Motion Sensors (TMS), que registran la inclinación real de la placa radicular. El máximo, la media y el número de inclinaciones se relacionaron con la ráfaga de viento máxima y las características dendométricas de los individuos arbóreos. Originalidad/Relevancia: El bosque urbano es fundamental para mejorar la calidad medioambiental y de la vivienda de las ciudades. Sin embargo, en el entorno urbano, los árboles se enfrentan a condiciones de estrés que pueden comprometer su estructura y estabilidad, aumentando el riesgo de caída. Las investigaciones que analizan los efectos de las cargas ejercidas por los elementos naturales sobre los árboles urbanos pueden aportar información relevante para la predicción de los riesgos de caída. Resultados: El viento es el factor responsable de aproximadamente el 51% de los casos de inclinación de la placa radicular y la mayoría de los árboles mostraron una tendencia a oscilar en dirección suroeste/noreste. Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. fue la especie con el mayor ángulo de inclinación. El DAP y el diámetro de la copa fueron las variables que mostraron una correlación significativamente fuerte con la pendiente de la placa radicular. Aportaciones para la gestión: Estos resultados pueden ayudar al desarrollo de medidas preventivas para la caída de árboles, contribuyendo a la gestión eficaz de la silvicultura urbana con vistas a establecer ciudades más sostenibles y resilientes.Objetivo: Analisar o efeito de rajadas de vento na inclinação da placa de raízes em árvores urbanas e identificar as variáveis dendrométricas que mais interferem na resposta das árvores quanto à inclinação da placa de raízes, de modo a contribuir com a gestão do planejamento urbano direcionado a cidades sustentáveis. Metodologia: Os dados de inclinação foram coletados pelo Tree Motion Sensors (TMS), que registra a inclinação real da placa de raízes de árvores. A inclinação máxima, média e o número de ocorrências de inclinação foram relacionados com a rajada de vento máxima e com as características dendrométricas dos indivíduos arbóreos. Originalidade/Relevância: A Floresta Urbana é fundamental para a melhoria da qualidade ambiental e habitacional das cidades. Contudo, no ambiente urbano, as árvores encontram condições estressantes que podem comprometer sua estrutura e estabilidade, aumentando o risco de queda. Pesquisas que analisam os efeitos das cargas exercidas por elementos naturais nas árvores urbanas podem fornecer informações relevantes para a previsão dos riscos à queda. Resultados: O vento foi o fator responsável por aproximadamente 51% das ocorrências de inclinação da placa de raízes e a maioria das árvores apresentou tendência de oscilação no sentido sudoeste/nordeste. Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. foi a espécie com maior ângulo de inclinação. O DAP e o diâmetro de copa foram as variáveis que apresentaram uma correlação significativamente forte com a inclinação da placa de raízes. Contribuições para a gestão: Estes resultados podem auxiliar a elaboração de medidas preventivas à queda de árvores, contribuindo com a gestão efetiva da silvicultura urbana em vista do estabelecimento de cidades mais sustentáveis e resilientes, de modo a amparar ações de sustentabilidade aplicadas ao planejamento urbano.Universidade Nove de Julho - Uninove2024-02-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/article/view/2371510.5585/2024.23715Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade; v. 13 n. 1 (2024): Fluxo Contínuo; e237152316-9834reponame:Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade - GeASinstname:Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)instacron:UNINOVEengporhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/article/view/23715/10722https://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/article/view/23715/10723Copyright (c) 2024 Autoreshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarvalho, Thamires de SouzaMartini, Angelinede Souza, Marina Mourada Silva, Ana Claudia Nogueira2024-05-24T20:50:14Zoai:ojs.periodicos.uninove.br:article/23715Revistahttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geasONGhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/oai||journalgeas@gmail.com2316-98342316-9834opendoar:2024-05-24T20:50:14Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade - GeAS - Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)false
