Abstract Background The inventory of street tree populations has acquired new importance due to interest in the provision ecosystem services. That said, this paper aims compare systematic sampling with stratified using different sizes units estimate variables interest: number trees per kilometer sidewalk ( D F ), basal area g mean total height , volume V and species E ). An innovative contribution here is testing alternative density variables. Methods In densely urbanized Piracicaba (Sao Paulo State, Brazil), 90 sets 4 blocks were systematically sampled. They used compose 1, 2, 3, blocks. Stratification was based on percentage cover obtained geoprocessing tools. Only public a circumference at breast greater than or equal 12 cm planted sidewalks avenue medians included. Results effect unit size stratification accuracy, sample size, intensity analyzed. results show that more accurate process, especially for . Conclusions Reductions significant when 2-block used.

Tree mortality due to global change—including range expansion of invasive pests and pathogens—is a paramount threat forest ecosystems. Oak forests are among the most prevalent valuable ecosystems both ecologically economically in United States. There is increasing interest monitoring oak decline death drought wilt pathogen ( Bretziella fagacearum ). We combined anatomical ecophysiological measurements with spectroscopy at leaf, canopy, airborne levels enable differentiation drought, detection prior visible symptom appearance. performed an outdoor potted experiment Quercus rubra saplings subjected stress and/or artificially inoculated pathogen. Models developed from spectral reflectance accurately predicted indicators field experiments naturally grown saplings. Both resulted blocked water transport through xylem conduits. However, impaired conduits localized regions formation tyloses instead emboli. The tylose more variable canopy photosynthesis content diseased trees than drought-stressed ones. Reflectance signatures plant photosynthesis, content, cellular damage detected 12 d before visual symptoms appeared. Our results show that leaf models predict processes relevant disease drought.

A synoptic review of plant disease epidemics and outbreaks was made using two complementary approaches. The first approach involved reviewing scientific literature published in 2021, which quantitative data related to new or were obtained via surveys similar methodologies. second retrieving records added 2021 the CABI Distribution Database, contains over a million global geographic organisms from 50,000 species. retrieved 186 articles, describing studies 62 categories (pathogen species/species complexes) across more than 40 host species on six continents. Pathogen with five articles Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’, cassava mosaic viruses, citrus tristeza virus, Erwinia amylovora, Fusarium spp. complexes, F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense, Magnaporthe oryzae, maize lethal necrosis co-infecting viruses , Meloidogyne Pseudomonas syringae pvs., Puccinia striiformis tritici, Xylella fastidiosa, Zymoseptoria tritici.

In this study, tree-selection/plantation decision support systems (DSSs) were reviewed and evaluated against essential objectives in the available literature. We verified whether existing DSSs leverage multiple data sources online resources such as web interfaces. compared DSSs, study mainly focused on five main that can consider tree selection, including (a) climate resilience, (b) infrastructure/space optimization, (c) agroforestry, (d) ecosystem services, (e) urban sustainability. The resilience of species sustainability are relatively rarely taken into account systems, which be integrated holistically future DSS tools. Based review, deep neural networks (DNNs) recommended to achieve trade-offs between complex maximizing species, agroforestry conservation, other benefits.

Abstract Changes at local and landscape scales impact forests embedded in urban urbanizing landscapes. In the Northeast USA, forest fragments are characterized by smaller sizes, low connectivity novel plant assemblages relative to intact natural areas. Disruptions of from landscape‐scale development can negatively habitat suitability colonization terrestrial insects, but managing tree compositions may offset negative impacts, especially for phytophagous taxa specialized host plants. Here, we surveyed nocturnal moth community diversity using light traps deployed within that varied surrounding development, floristics, structure. We found factors interact affect temperate communities. most cases, impervious surface (as a proxy urbanization) impacted communities, whereas basal area Lepidoptera‐rich plants positively affected However, magnitude benefits trees was apparent levels urbanization substantial specialists over generalists.

Introduction This research explores the perceptions of local forest communities in Kakamega Forest Ecosystem (KFE) regarding conditions, associated threats, services (ES) provision, and challenges with a focus on socioeconomic differences (wealth categories). Effective management is imperative for sustaining ES, but KFE, threats to face hinder their provision. Methods Mixed method was utilized, qualitative data collected through Key Informant Interviews (KII), Focus Group Discussions (FGD), quantitative gathered household surveys. Results discussion The findings indicated that wealthier households exhibited positive correlation unchanged ES while poorer showed decreased Local generally perceived an improvement conditions across wealth categories. However, unexpectedly, highly improved indicating related access ES. In contrast, middle rich expressed severely degraded conditions. Illegal logging emerged as most significant threat regardless category, followed by lack awareness conservation efforts, perception Surprisingly, animal grazing relatively low threat, between groups highlighting importance land ownership. allocation harvesting rights non-local community members identified challenge faced community, irrespective wealth.
