are usually required.
aerial inspection-inspection of parts of a tree not visible from the ground,
including the trunk, stems, and branches; aerial inspections may include
evaluation of internal decay.
aerial patrol-overflights of a utility right-of-way, large areas, or individual
trees to record the location of trees that are likely to fail and cause harm.
basic assessment (Level 2)-detailed visual inspection of a tree and surrounding site that may include the use of simple tools. It requires that a tree
risk assessor inspect completely around the tree trunk looking at the visible
aboveground roots, trunk, branches, and site.

defined as the force (acting perpendicular to the lever) multiplied by the
length of the lever.

CODIT-acronym for Compartmentalization of Decay in Trees (see compartmentalization).
compartmentalization-natural defense process in trees by which chemical
and physical boundaries are created that act to limit the spread of disease
and decay organisms (see CODIT).
consequences-effects or outcome of an event. In tree risk assessment, consequences include personal injury, property damage, or disruption of activities
due to the event.
cracks-separation in wood fibers.
decay-process of degradation by microorganisms.
