https://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/35931... [Invasive Species] [Urban Forestry] [Report] 2010
Juzwik, Jennifer; O'Brien, Joseph; Evenson, Charles; Castillo, Paul; Mahal, Graham
Effectiveness of oak wilt control actions taken between 1997 and 1999 were evaluated for an urban forest park reserve in Minnesota, U.S. A high level of success (84% of evaluated disease centers) was achieved in controlling belowground spread of the vascular pathogen for four to six years by mechanically disrupting inter-tree root connections with the blade of a cable plow (vibratory plow, VP). Placements of the outermost (i.e., primary) VP treatment lines were based on a modified, rule-of-thumb...

Why Urban Logging | Salvaging and Reclaiming Urban Woods
https://hunskihardwoods.com/urban-logging... [Urban Wood Utilization] [Companies and Products] [Unclassified/Other]

Urban trees provide their main benefits to our communities when they are alive. They supply shade, clean the air and water, and bring beauty and soul to the urban landscape. When they can no longer provide these benefits as living trees, we want to find the highest and best uses for them in their next manifestation. One of our goals in urban logging is to prevent these trees from becoming firewood or mulch whenever possible, and instead, make them available to become lumber, flooring, furnitu...

Many communities and other organizations are finding that a careful accounting of tree benefits is of great use in working with the public and the government. It is difficult to assign a dollar amount to the benefits experienced by a single individual, though that experience remains highly important. But it has become possible to quantify the value of environmental benefits to the community, for which specific figures can be objectively determined. The key is the use of public software from t...

A Synthesis of Practice and an Evaluation of the Benefi ts of Meeting the 10ft Clear Zone Goal on Urban Streets
https://www.naturewithin.info/Roadside/UrbanClearZ... [Urban Forestry] [misMatch] [Report] 2008
Thomas H. Maze, Neal Hawkins, Christian Sax
In urban communities, there are often limited amounts of right-of-way available for establishing a large setback distance from the curb for fixed objects. Urban communities must constantly weigh the cost of purchasing additional right-of-way for clear zones against the risk of fixed object crashes. From 2004 to 2006, this type of crash on curbed roads represented 15% of all fatal crashes and 3% of all crashes in the state of Iowa. Many states have kept the current minimum AASHTO recommendations ...

Nowak, David J.; Appleton, Nathaniel; Ellis, Alexis; Greenfield, Eric
Urban trees and forests alter building energy use and associated emissions from power plants by shading buildings, cooling air temperatures and altering wind speeds around buildings. Field data on urban trees were combined with local urban/community tree and land cover maps, modeling of tree effects on building energy use and pollutant emissions, and state energy and pollutant costs to estimate tree effects on building energy use and associated pollutant emissions at the state to national level ...

Urban wood has knots, burls and insect holes. It’s not perfect — it's beautiful. The constraints and adaptations of the urban forest help create character. We handle each log individually with an eye for the best cut. Then we mill it to show off its inner beauty. It s better for the environment. Urban forests give us cleaner air and cooler temperatures. A living tree provides great value to the community. so can a repurposed one. Historically, felled city trees are taken to the landfill ...
