Even TCs graded 1–2 on the five-point Saffir–Simpson scale bring sustained wind speeds > 125 km h<sup>−1</sup>, leading to defoliation, branch breakage, bole snapping, and uprooting of forest trees (Tanner <i>et al</i>., <span>1991</span>; Everham & Brokaw, <span>1996</span>; Negrón-Juárez <i>et al</i>., <span>2014</span>; Lin <i>et al</i>., <span>2020</span>). TCs cause substantial loss of aboveground forest biomass (AGB), with West Mexican and Puerto Rican forests reportedly losing 34% (Parker <i>et al</i>., <span>2018</span>) and 23% (Hall <i>et al</i>., <span>2020</span>) of ABG after category 3–4 TC events, respectively. TCs change forest structure, not only by damaging trees but also by remodelling tree architecture amongst survivors (Bonnesoeur <i>et al</i>., <span>2016</span>; Ankori-Karlinsky <i>et al</i>., <span>2024</span>). Regions that frequently experience strong TCs have shorter forests with higher stem densities (De Gouvenain & Silander, <span>2003</span>; Ibanez <i>et al</i>., <span>2019</span>; Lin <i>et al</i>., <span>2020</span>), with trees investing into larger basal areas relative to their heights (Ibanez <i>et al</i>., <span>2019</span>). Under climate change, TCs are becoming less frequent but more intense (Kossin <i>et al</i>., <span>2020</span>; Chand <i>et al</i>., <span>2022</span>) and are shifting towards higher latitudes (Murakami <i>et al</i>., <span>2020</span>; Chand <i>et al</i>., <span>2022</span>). To predict how these changes might affect forests in the future, it is critical that we have a comprehensive understanding of wind-forest dynamics at various spatiotemporal scales (Ennos, <span>1997</span>; Lin <i>et al</i>., <span>2020</span>).</p>\u0000<p>We currently have limited knowledge on how wind, topography, and forest structure affect forest resistance to TCs at a landscape scale. Previous studies have shown that canopy height, soil type, stock density, and management action (e.g. thinning) could all affect forest resistance to strong winds (Cremer <i>et al</i>., <span>1982</span>; Martin & Ogden, <span>2006</span>; Gardiner, <span>2021</span>). However, most of these studies were carried out in coniferous monocultures on flat terrain. We now know that the most valuable forests from biodiversity, carbon, and ecosystem services stand points are those with complex canopy structures (Bohn & Huth, <span>2016</span>; Jucker <i>et al</i>., <span>2018</span>; Zhu <i>et al</i>., <span>2023</span>). Much of these forests also grow on rugged landscapes, where sites a mere few hundred meters apart could have vastly different wind regimes (Finnigan <i>et al</i>., <span>2020</span>).

They also facilitate nutrient cycling and mediate biotic interactions in the rhizosphere, thereby fostering a healthy soil ecosystem (Badri & Vivanco, <span>2009</span>; Rasmann & Hiltpold, <span>2022</span>). Despite the ecological relevance of root exudates, several factors, such as stress and developmental status, influence their chemical composition and challenge their quantification. For instance, stress by elevated phosphorus increases pthalic acid in <i>Cyperus alternifolius</i> (Duan <i>et al</i>., <span>2020</span>), hydric stress induces various organic acids in <i>Zea mays</i> (Song <i>et al</i>., <span>2012</span>), and pathogen infection in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> stimulates long-chain fatty acids and amino acids that recruit protective <i>Pseudomonas</i> species (Wen <i>et al</i>., <span>2021</span>). Furthermore, development also affects exudate profiles in <i>A. thaliana</i> with sugar alcohols decreasing and amino acids increasing over time in early developmental stages (Chaparro <i>et al</i>., <span>2013</span>), whereas young fir trees exudate more carbohydrates and quercetin than older trees, which secrete more lipids and salicylic acids, shifting from nutrient acquisition to defense over-development (Chen <i>et al</i>., <span>2023</span>).
