Table 2. Characteristics of the 28 injuries identified in eight Larix decidua trees. Column headings: L, vertical extent of injury; %L, L as a percent of total stem length; HLB, Hcenter and HUB, height from root collar to the lower boundary, the center and the upper boundary of the stem injury, respectively; WOS, injury width measured on the stem surface; WIS, injury width measured in the horizontal plane across the surface of the wound (see Figure 1B); WR, relative width of injury calculated as shown in Figure 1B; Area, the wound surface calculated from internal width and length; Radial position, position of injury is relative to the upslope position ( 0°); and SD, standard deviation.
