recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biological Invasions"

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-017-1595-x

Abstract: Urban trees have been increasingly appreciated for the many benefits they provide. As concentrated hubs of human-mediated movement, the urban landscape is, however, often the first point of contact for exotic pests including insects and… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Urban Ecosystems"

DOI: 10.1007/s11252-017-0693-y

Abstract: Many cities in the Eastern United States are working to increase urban tree cover due to the hydrological services that trees provide, including the interception, storage and transpiration of water that would otherwise enter sewer… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Building and Environment"

DOI: 10.1016/j.buildenv.2019.04.056

Abstract: Abstract Urban trees play an important role in cooling urban microclimates and regulating outdoor thermal comfort. To better understand their contribution to these processes, it is crucial to elucidate urban trees' radiative thermal performance, especially… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Landscape and Urban Planning"

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2019.05.001

Abstract: Urban trees are vital components of urban ecosystems, and thus important for environmental quality, urban sustainability, and quality of life in cities. Regrettably, urban trees are sometimes unequally distributed both between and within towns, a… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Landscape and Urban Planning"

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2020.103899

Abstract: Abstract In many cities, private trees dominate urban tree canopy cover, but densification often means fewer private trees and diminishing urban tree canopy cover. Local governments use several mechanisms to protect trees on private land,… read more here.
