Traditional tree assessment relies heavily on visual inspections and expert judgment. While these methods are valuable, they are subjective and lack quantifiable, repeatable metrics. Scientific tree stability assessment requires objective, data-driven methods that consider:
- Mechanical forces acting on trees, particularly wind load and gravitational forces.
- Decay, defects, and hollowness in tree trunks and how they affect structural stability.
- Tree architecture and biomechanics, including stress distribution across cross-sections.

The Arbotom sonic tomograph (also known as the Arbotom stress wave tomograph) is a tomography device for analysis of the material properties of wood. The new features of the Arbotom 6 allow for data collection of measured stress wave time of flight, modulus of elasticity (MOE), 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional plane measurements on tree […]

The 2019 study published in the MDPI journal Forests investigates the potential of using bark features to identify high-quality resonance spruce trees, crucial for musical instrument manufacturing. It specifically utilizes the Arbotom Sonic Tomograph to assess the internal wood structure through acoustic imaging. This method is non-destructive and highly efficient as it allows for precise […]
