Description
A comprehensive guide to urban forestry, this handbook provides a global overview of the science and practice of managing trees in cities. It explores the multiple roles and benefits of urban green areas, including air quality, human well-being, and stormwater management, as well as the specific challenges faced by trees in urban environments. The book reviews various stresses experienced by trees in cities, tolerance mechanisms, and cultural techniques for pre-conditioning or alleviating stress after planting. It also sets out sound planning, design, species selection, establishment, and management principles for urban trees, highlighting the importance of close interactions with local communities who benefit from these green spaces. This handbook is an essential reference text for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of urban forestry, drawing on international state-of-the-art knowledge in arboriculture and urban forestry.
