Abstract Urban natural area forests provide cities with crucial ecosystem services, including carbon storage and sequestration. Although previous work from a single city has suggested that urban may be carbon‐rich dominated by native species, it is unclear if pattern widespread. Indeed, little known about the species composition in these green spaces, or how compared similar rural forests. Here, we use data collected Forests Cities network to quantify stored across 1852 plots eight of most...
Interactions between humans and wildlife are frequent in India, requiring stakeholders to devise mitigation strategies that benefit both wildlife. Success of such initiatives can be impacted by stakeholders' perceptions species related issues, which may unduly influenced the media. This paper explores media representation Human-Leopard (HLI) focusing on detecting agenda-setting framing articles, whether these differ with level association HLI. To accomplish this, we coded articles (n=291)...
TreesCount! 2015 (TC2015) was the third citizen-participatory inventory of street trees in New York City, York, U.S. Every ten years, City Department Parks & Recreation has worked with citizen scientists to record location, size, species, and condition all public curbside trees. Volunteer tree inventories promote awareness importance urban forest support municipal management. City’s prior 1995 2005 led advances customer service, funding for routine pruning, greening initiatives. TC2015...
Spartina marshes (S. patens [Salt Meadow Cordgrass] and S. alterniflora [Saltmarsh Cordgrass]) are critical foraging, nursery, overwintering habitats for Malaclemys terrapin (Diamondback Terrapin). However, the relationships between marsh quality, quantity, distribution resulting Diamondback Terrapin distribution, abundance, movements poorly understood. To develop a model predicting these relationships, we needed way to prioritize locations where data collected building. As an initial...
