Tree species with High wind resistance ratings. Bolded species are our additions to the original Duryea et al. (2007a, 2007b) rating lists. These new species come from hurricane studies that met our inclusion criteria (Appendix Table S1), and the ratings were assigned using our random forests model. Confidence indicates the probability a rating was correctly assigned according to the model. More detailed information for the species modeled in this study can be found at https://github.com/AllysonS/TreesForHurricanes. NA (not applicable).
