Comment:
Strong winds (all day) was in Southern MI on March 8, 2017. The strong winds damaged a few of the LTER main site poplar trees. The damaged was mostly from the wind snapping the tops of the trees off. Not sure what percent of the trees were damaged I would say less than 1-2% (for such under 5%) of the trees were damaged. No GLBRC trees were damaged by the strong winds because the GLBRC trees were so small that the wind did not break them off. The trees just bent over and came back up after the wind storm. The damage to the LTER trees on March 8, 2017 was nothing like to damage to the trees on June 13, 2015.
