WindthrowIn forestry, windthrow refers to trees uprooted by wind, or to the phenomenon that causes such uprooting to occur. Windthrow commonly results from logging when the removal of certain trees at a forest's edge increases the exposure of the remaining trees to the wind. The resulting damage can be a significant factor in the evolution of a forest. Trees with heavy growths of ivy may be more susceptible to windthrow.
