Question

what is lodging of trees
Answered by GPT 3.5
The lodging of trees refers to the bending, leaning, falling, or collapsing of trees due to various factors such as wind, heavy rainfall, snow, ice, disease, damage, or weak root systems. When a tree's trunk or branches are unable to support the weight or pressure exerted on them, they may bend, lean, or fall over. Lodging can occur partially or completely, causing damage to the tree and potentially posing a risk to surrounding structures, infrastructure, or people.
