Abstract
Mechanical stability is a major functional requirement of land plants. Wind loading on plants varies temporally on time scales from years to seconds. Plants change at scales from the cell to the whole plant to acclimate to the wind. The process of wind damage is very similar in all plants. Wind damage can have major economic and ecological impacts.
