To properly manage urban forests, it is essential to have data on this important resource. An efficient means obtain information randomly sample areas. help assess the forest structure (e.g., number of trees, species composition, tree sizes, health) and several functions air pollution removal, carbon storage sequestration), Urban Forest Effects (UFORE) model was developed. Data collection variables methods are detailed results compared among 14 United States cities with average density...
Abstract Approximately 75–80% of the population North America currently lives in urban areas as defined by national census bureaus, and urbanization is continuing to increase. Future trajectories fossil fuel emissions are associated with a high degree uncertainty; however, if activities residents rate land conversion can be captured systems models, plausible scenarios from major cities may generated. Integrated use transportation models that simulate energy traffic‐related already place many...
We used data available from the literature and measurements Baltimore, Maryland, to (i) assess inter-city variability of soil organic carbon (SOC) pools (1-m depth) six cities (Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Oakland, Syracuse); (ii) calculate net effect urban land-use conversion on SOC for same cities; (iii) use National Land Cover Database extrapolate total each lower 48 U.S. states; (iv) compare these totals with aboveground storage by trees. Residential soils in Baltimore had densities that...
Mounting research highlights the contribution of ecosystem services provided by urban forests to quality life in cities, yet these are rarely explicitly considered environmental policy targets. We quantify regulating and evaluate their comply with targets air climate change mitigation municipality Barcelona, Spain. apply i-Tree Eco model biophysical monetary terms "air purification," "global regulation," disservice pollution" associated biogenic emissions. Our results show that abate...
