Application of Ground Penetrating Radar in Warning of Urban Street Tree Collapse: A Review

Abstract

The collapse of urban street trees not only jeopardizes public safety and property but also inflicts damage upon the ecological services provided by urban environments. This paper provides a comprehensive review of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology in the application of early warning systems for the collapse of urban street trees, discussing its principles, strengths, and its historical application within urban forestry. The article further analyzes the challenges and limitations of GPR in current research endeavors and prognosticates future directions for study.
