Urban hedges facilitate spontaneous woody plants Urban Forestry Urban Green. (IF 6.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-23 Eva Horvat, Mirjana Šipek, Nina Sajna
Most trees and other woody plants growing within urban areas are deliberately cultivated native or non-native plants. Opportunities for spontaneous establishment and spread of woody species are scarce in an urban environment, especially if the establishment begins from seeds. We hypothesized that urban hedges might offer safe sites for the spontaneous establishment of woody plants, which reach the

Urban green and blue spaces provide mental and physical health benefits for their surrounding communities, but the key to many of these benefits is the utilization of the urban greenspace for recreation or relaxation. For some communities, use is limited by physical access to the greenspace while for other communities, the characteristics of the greenspace play an important role in encouraging or discouraging

Urban trees can reduce stormwater runoff and mitigate flood risk by increasing infiltration, and storing water in the soil, while reducing nutrient loading, and improving water quality in developed areas. Tree water use can constitute a major component of evapotranspiration, but knowledge gaps about how the local environment affects transpiration limits our ability to predict how management will affect

Assessing the magnitude of soil carbon enhancement under canopy in an arboretum environment Urban Forestry Urban Green. (IF 6.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-21 Jaylie Ryan, Ronald Smernik, Ashlea Doolette
Soil organic carbon (C) is a larger and more stable C storage pool than terrestrial biomass. Some trees are very effective in transferring C from the atmosphere to the soil, particularly soil under canopy. As a consequence, in environments containing a variety of trees, the distribution of soil organic C is patchy at the 1–10 m scale making it challenging to quantify at the larger scales relevant for
