edge tree marking


Explanation:
See the sample sentences from the reference links below. The second sample doesn't actually use "edge tree", but it uses "treed edge" in the same context.

Example sentence(s):
  • "A corridor accelerated the diameter increment of the edge trees. "
  • "The key aspects can be summarized as the random selection of 400 right-of-way points where the percent of treed edge, right-of-way characteristics such as line height, tree height, clear width and adjacent forest characteristics were collected."

hazard tree marking/tagging/mapping


Explanation:
I am not completely sure about this - I think they are referring to the marking/mapping of trees along power line strips that have rot damage and could fall. This is definitely something that forest inspectors do.

The trees posing the threat are "edge trees" but the term does not always seem to be used in English. Try the site below, it may help (see hazard tree inspection programmes).
