Differences in remote sensing estimated values between the damaged and background set of points, for the northwest wind direction. The median values for distance to edge are: 64.0m (damaged points) and 103.7m (background points); for upwind gap size: 43.6m (damaged) and 39.0m (background); for vegetation height in upwind gap: 6.8m (both damaged and background). This illustrates that the damaged points were closer to stands edges, and were associated with slightly bigger upwind gaps. A number of points had large upwind gap sizes (i.e. more than 200m) because of the lakes and the large clearings in the study area
