| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: Available online 11 July 2019Source: Urban Forestry & Urban GreeningAuthor(s): Erik Velasco, Kian Wee ChenAbstractCurrent estimations of the carbon stored by urban trees are usually based on allometric models developed for natural forests. However, urban trees grow in different conditions, and their architecture might differ, thus models developed specially for urban trees are needed. With the aim of improving estimations of carbon storage and sequestration in tropical cities, we developed a model for Singapore’s urban trees based on three-dimensional data acquired on... | ||

| Publication date: Available online 2 July 2019Source: Urban Forestry & Urban GreeningAuthor(s): Benjamin S. Breger, Theodore S. Eisenman, Madison E. Kremer, Lara A. Roman, Deborah G. Martin, John RoganAbstractStewardship is essential for the survival of trees planted in challenging urban conditions and for reaching canopy cover goals and anticipated benefits. The governance structure of the stewardship network can dictate stewardship efficacy and ultimately, tree survival. While many planting initiatives are managed locally, the stewardship network and survival rates of a state-managed... | ||
| Interactions between the invasive Schinus molle (Peruvian pepper tree) with six plant species commonly found in Southern California nature reserves | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: July 2019Source: Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, Volume 43Author(s): David C. Bañuelas, Erin J. Questad, Edward G. BobichAbstractSince Schinus molle (Peruvian pepper tree) was brought to Southern California, the dioecious tree has been widely adopted in urban forests and has become invasive. Prior to our study, it was unknown whether S. molle influences plant species in its understory through allelopathy as it does in other geographic areas. The present study sought to determine if S. molle has negative effects on three native and three non-native, invasive understory... | ||

| Publication date: July 2019Source: Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, Volume 43Author(s): Yangyang Li, Harianto Rahardjo, K.N. IrvineAbstractAn approach to model the effect of weather conditions on tree stability is presented, where the weather conditions include wind, rainfall, temperature, humidity and solar radiation. The weather conditions could affect the rainwater infiltration and evapotranspiration, hence change the water content in the soil and influence the soil properties such as stiffness and strength when resisting the wind drags on the tree. One-dimensional (1D) modelling in... | ||
| The impact of the plains afforestation program and alternative land use scenarios on ecosystem services in an urbanizing watershed | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: July 2019Source: Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, Volume 43Author(s): Jie Gao, Hongyan BianAbstractEcological restoration programs, which mainly affect land use distribution, may eventually alter the supply of ecosystem services (ESs). Although some positive results have been achieved, the sustainability and long-term effects of ecological restoration program on ecosystem service still remain uncertain. To compare the ES outcomes of ecological restoration programs, the design of alternative land use scenarios is critical for ecological management. This paper presents a... | ||

| Publication date: July 2019Source: Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, Volume 43Author(s): Feinan Lyu, Li ZhangAbstractUrban parks have been proved to have great benefits for people and urban environments. Estimating park use and understanding its influence factors are significant for urban park planning and designing. Currently, geospatial data are used to measure park use for convenience and low cost at the city and regional levels. In this study, two sets of geospatial data were used to describe the park use of 57 urban parks in Wuhan. Nine variables for three categories affecting park use... | ||
| Standing volume yield, canopy structure and allometric relationships of dominant urban trees in Melbourne, Australia | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: July 2019Source: Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, Volume 43Author(s): Luis Orozco-Aguilar, Stephen J. Livesley, Cris Brack, Denise JohnstoneAbstractMost allometric equations currently used to quantify above-ground biomass of urban trees are derived from natural forest stands and can produce unreliable estimates of biomass for individual trees grown in open conditions. In addition, distribution of standing volume between stem, branch and foliage in solitary grown urban trees is poorly understood. In this study, a total of 45 trees of three species (Ulmus procera... | ||
| Primary productivity and habitat diversity predict bird species richness and composition along urban-rural gradients of central Argentina | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: July 2019Source: Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, Volume 43Author(s): Lucas M. LeveauAbstractAlthough the role of primary productivity and habitat diversity in determining patterns of species richness and composition have been explored in urban areas, they have been rarely analysed in the context of species-energy relationships (SERs). Therefore, two hypotheses related to SERs were tested in bird communities: the more individuals hypothesis (MIH) and the niche position hypothesis (NPH). The MIH states that sites with more energy availability have more individuals, with... | ||
