Trees in cities perform important environmental functions: they produce oxygen, filter pollutants, provide habitat for wildlife, mitigate stormwater runoff, and reduce the effects of climate change, especially terms lowering temperatures converting carbon dioxide from atmosphere into stored carbon. Generally, to increase benefits urban forests, number trees is increased, directly influencing canopy coverage. However, little known about potential modifying species composition tree communities order ecological benefits. Planting managing particularly challenging city centres, where dense, often historic infrastructure buildings roads do not allow a significant greenspace. Estimations cover obtained through i-Tree Canopy analysis unveiled historical areas Polish 15-34% 31–51%. This study models forests cities, focusing on how different compositions can enhance functions such as sequestration pollution filtration. Two main scenarios were analyzed: one involving addition based most common currently planted ("standard option" SO), another incorporating changes ("city specific SCO). Acer platanoides (14.5%) Tilia cordata (11.45%) frequently cities. Betula pendula, Quercus robur, Robinia pseudoacacia, Fraxinus excelsior, pseudoplatanus, Aesculus hippocastanum campestre also forest (up 5%). The diverse range contributes significantly overall potential. results suggest that could rates by 47.8%–114% annually, with option (SCO) being effective enhancing highlights importance strategic selection forestry practices maximize change effects.

Urban tree planting initiatives (TPIs) have become a prominent form of public work that has the potential to increase livability and sustainability cities. However, if not sufficiently resourced thoughtfully planned implemented, these high-profile programs may fail achieve intended goals. To promote successful implementation TPIs, we offer recommendations for pre-planting, installation, post-planting phases. During each phases present five cross-cutting themes: ensuring adequate funding all project phases; cultivating place-based landscape design; engaging investing in communities; implementing sound practices; evaluating performance adapting over time.

This study creates a 0.5 m resolution urban tree canopy (UTC) cover dataset using high-resolution remote sensing images based on the deep learning method to clarify tree-cover characteristics in Brazilian cities. The results revealed that UTC of cities is spatially heterogeneous, ranging from 5% 34%. There was difference coverage between old and new areas, with average largest near 5%. More than 76% population exposure 0∼0.2. Most have relatively high inequality human tree-covered spaces, especially northeastern southeastern Brazil. Results geographical detector models show climatic factors play major role determining patterns cities, followed by socioeconomic, geographical, soil, urbanization factors. suggests government pay more attention greening renovation projects areas formulate effective irrigation policies for limited autumn winter rainfall. also follow-up research consider effects race, history, city structure, land use, local policy further support goals sustainable development

Abstract Despite the numerous benefits we derive from ecosystems as ecosystem services (ES), negative impacts on human health and well-being also occur disservices (ED). To study ED, researchers box them into classes create conceptual frameworks to support their identification, assessment, communication. It is unclear what now exist for relative uptake in literature, potential application across socio-ecological contexts. We conduct a systematic literature review of ED classification systems take stock synthesize this growing but scattered body research. find strong several influential articles persisting inconsistency classifications oversimplification processes within frameworks. Aggregating existing frameworks, draw lessons learned propose Composite Ecosystem Disservices (CED) framework. call increased research, greater comparability replicability allowing transdisciplinarity, underpinnings that recognize social-ecological interconnections.
