Biodiversity loss can lead to losses in ecological functions, ecosystem services, and cultural values. Yet, literature that empirically relates species' importance is scarce. We investigate tree a settled landscape Canada by combining biophysical plot sampling (n = 122) semi-structured interviews 31). examined relationships between importance, services (benefits from trees), services-to-ecosystems (actions toward the abundance, mortality, modification of trees. found abundance generally correlated with emphasis. Maple was most biophysically abundant culturally important tree, associated greatest diversity services. However, some trees were mentioned disproportionately more frequently than their likely due high mortality case ash apples. Apple linked diverse services-to-ecosystems. Our findings suggest provisioning services-to-ecosystems, which may, turn, influence these genera on landscape. This connection could be potential lever for wider biocultural conservation. study contributes ongoing discussions about highlights understanding human-nature relationships. The results have implications protected area management, suggesting reduced human-tree interactions negatively impact
