No, not that I could easily identify. It was part of a presentation given by their faculty at the institute where I was working at the time. It’s pretty much the only part of it that stuck in my head because I’m a biologist (but not a botanist) and never knew that.
It stuck because it was just one of those things that you might have never thought of on your own, but once you hear it you say “Huh, that makes perfect sense.”
You could probably find a lot of material on the effects of wind on trees, but I’m not sure where/how they published their work. I can’t remember if this was the first or second iteration, either. In any case, we declined collaboration so I never got more than an hour long presentation.
