LARGE TREE BRANCHES and used timber piled up at Baltimore s 5-acre forestry waste station called Camp Small. Many of the branches were from trees in Baltimore damaged during storms. Or, they had been cut from trees to make room for new construction. Nearly 78,000 tons of this type of wood was brought to Camp Small by city crews every year just to be thrown out. But that was a few years ago. Now, B...

Using urban forest assessment tools to model bird habitat potential
https://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/45714... [Urban Forestry] [] [Journal Article] 2014
Lerman, Susannah B.; Nislow, Keith H.; Nowak, David J.; DeStefano, Stephen; King, David I.; Jones-Farrand, D. Todd
The alteration of forest cover and the replacement of native vegetation with buildings, roads, exotic vegetation, and other urban features pose one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. As more land becomes slated for urban development, identifying effective urban forest wildlife management tools becomes paramount to ensure the urban forest provides habitat to sustain bird and other wildlife populations. The primary goal of this study was to integrate wildlife suitability indices to an...

Historical vegetation change in Oakland and its implications for urban forest management | Treesearch
https://www.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/pubs/18802... [Urban Forestry] [] [Journal Article] 1993
David J. Nowak
The history of Oakland, California's urban forest was researched to determine events that could influence future urban forests. Vegetation in Oakland has changed drastically from a preurbanized area with approximately 2% tree cover to a present tree cover of 19%. Species composition of trees was previously dominated by coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), California bay (Umbellularia californica), and coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and is currently dominated by blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus...

Mapping urban forest structure and function using hyperspectral imagery and lidar data | Treesearch
https://www.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/pubs/52697... [Urban Forestry] [] [Journal Article] 2016
Michael Alonzo; Joseph P. McFadden; David J. Nowak; Dar A. Roberts
Cities measure the structure and function of their urban forest resource to optimize forest managementand the provision of ecosystem services. Measurements made using plot sampling methods yield useful results including citywide or land-use level estimates of species counts, leaf area, biomass, and air pollution reduction. However, these quantities are statistical estimates made over large areas and thus are not spatially explicit. Maps of forest structure and function at the individual tree cro...

David J. Nowak; Daniel E. Crane
Based on field data from 10 USA cities and national urban tree cover data, it is estimated that urban trees in the coterminous USA currently store 700 million tonnes of carbon ($14,300 million value) with a gross carbon sequestration rate of 22.8 million tC/yr ($460 rnillion/year). Carbon storage within cities ranges From 1.2 million tC in New York, NY, to 19,300 tC in Jersey City, NJ. Regions with the greatest proportion of urban land are the Northeast (8.5%) and the southeast (7.1%). Urban for...
