Abstract
⺠We present results of field experiment monitoring wind-driven sway of 16 pine trees. ⺠Stand of monitored trees was thinned from 1400 to 200 stems/ha. ⺠Heavy thin eliminated inter-crown collisions and increased sway displacement. ⺠To isolate effects of collision on sway displacement we employ scaling analysis. ⺠Scaling analysis indicates collisions act to stiffen the stand at the stand level.
