Assessing the potential for urban trees to facilitate forest tree migration in the eastern United States
https://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/34734... [Urban Forestry] [] [Journal Article] 2010
Woodall, C.J.; Nowak, D.J.; Liknes, G.C.; Westfall, J.A.
Latitudinal shifts in tree species distributions are a potential impact of climate change on forest ecosystems. It has been hypothesized that some tree species may become extirpated as climate change effects may exceed their migration ability. The goal of this study was to compare tree species compositions in northern urban areas to tree compositions in forestland areas in the eastern U.S. as an indicator of the potential for urban trees to facilitate future forest tree species migration. Result...

Westfall, James A.; Sonti, Nancy F.; Wiemann, Michael C.; Eberhardt, Thomas L.; So, Chi-Leung
Interest in conducting urban tree inventories and quantifying the associated wood resource has accelerated at a pace faster than supporting research needs can be identified and accomplished. For example, it is common to apply allometric models and wood properties values developed from studies of rural forest-grown trees to urban trees, despite unknown degrees of inaccuracy that may exist. To examine potential differences in wood properties between trees grown in forest and urban settings, wood s...

Steve Norman, Will Liner, Alex Sherman
Natural disasters cause significant damage each year to our urban forests, and years of local investment in planting and caring for community trees can be suddenly wiped away. We know that urban forest and community resilience can be improved by using best practices in planning, response and recovery. The questions we seek to answer through this special webinar event are: how can we rapidly assess storm damage and what are the lessons learned in mobilizing an effective response and long-term rec...

With the help of Colony Landscaping, RW had the opportunity to recover a small grove of redwood trees from the Stanford Golf course in Palo Alto, California. Unfortunately, the redwoods were occupying an area of the golf course that wasn t suitable any longer. The future of this redwood grove was a chainsaw, a chipper, and then a final resting place at the local landfill. Therefore any piece that is created from redwood will have a permanent beauty in any setting. Reclaimed redwood can be ma...

As the world barrels towards 1.5 degrees of planetary warming, healthy forests are coming into laser focus as the best nature-based solution for slowing climate change. In the United States, the opportunity to create healthy forests is enormous. The Reforestation Hub shows that 133 million acres across the country could be reforested. But as governments, companies and others gear up for mass reforestation, a big question remains: Where exactly will we get billions of seedlings to grow what we ne...
