ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND HOW TO CITE
The editor and publisher thank each of the authors who contributed to this book. The chapters in this book were previously published elsewhere. To cite the work contained in this book and to view the individual permissions, please refer to the citation at the beginning of each chapter. Each chapter was read individually and carefully selected by the editor; the result is a book that provides a multi-perspective look at research into many elements of urban forests. The chapters included are organized into four sections as follows:
The first section focuses on the various benefits of urban forests.
- Chapter 1 models urban air quality and climate regulation to examine the complex relationship between municipal forests, ecosystem services, and urban space, emphasizing the need for integrated green strategies.
- Chapter 2 demonstrates that well managed urban tree cover can contribute to urban sustainability through fossil fuel replacement, as well through carbon storage.
- Chapter 3 studies connections between tree cover and human health to suggest cost-effective strategies to improve well-being in certain urban populations.
The second section explores the issues surrounding urban tree planting.
- Chapters4 and5 explore the multifaceted response of urban residents to trees and tree planting, indicating a need for more citizen involvement in urban greening campaigns.
The third section centers on community-based stewardship of urban forests.
- Chapter 6 discusses a tool for communities could employ to gather data for the effective care of local trees.
The final section turns to enhancing knowledge of urban forestry.
- Chapter 7 analyzes urban tree dynamics via historical photography to evaluate conditions for preserving trees with high ecosystem value.
- Chapter 8 examines biological, social, and urban design factors that influence the survival of young urban trees in order to advance management practices.
- Chapter 9 scrutinizes urban forests patterns to find that socioeconomic factors strongly influence variations in urban tree cover diversity.
- Chapter 10 focuses on the effects of input management on new urban forests over time, suggesting that biological diversity increases as conditions favorable to invasive species recede.
