Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Aerobiologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s10453-018-9530-x
Abstract: The occurrence of airborne fungal spores is driven by several biogeographic and climatic factors. In addition, the occurrence of fires near fungal ecosystems seems to play an important role on the aerobiology of fungal spores.… read more here.

Spatial and temporal patterns of microclimates at an urban forest edge and their management implications
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Environmental Monitoring and Assessment"
DOI: 10.1007/s10661-017-6430-4
Abstract: Fragmented forests generate a variety of forest edges, leading to microclimates in the edge zones that differ from those in the forest interior. Understanding microclimatic variation is an important consideration for managers because it helps… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.forpol.2019.102004
Abstract: Abstract Urban forests provide a bundle of benefits, including recreation opportunities. However, the literature on valuation of recreation benefits from urban forests is limited. We use a choice experiment to examine residents' preferences and willingness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2017.12.021
Abstract: There is ample evidence that urban trees benefit the physical, mental, and social health of urban residents. The environmental justice hypothesis posits that environmental amenities are inequitably low in poor and minority communities, and predicts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2017.06.006
Abstract: Abstract Environmental stewardship in urban areas often involves multiple organizations and actors. Yet very little data exists that takes into account the work of multiple stewardship organizations. And while recent work has presented various drivers… read more here.
