Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many if not most urban forestry successes and failures begin at the planning stage. The intent of this design manual is to replace as many of the subjective decisions made during street tree design and plant selection with objective criteria. The manual will assist communities and planners to not only select the best trees for their available planting sites, but to use specific principles of street tree design to most effectively create public green spaces, positively affect traffic patterns, and create healthy living spaces. The format of the design manual is one of prompting questions. This will not only help the user select the best plants for the area, but will pose sufficient questions to better ensure that issues of spacing, relative placement to travel corridors, and a wide variety of design elements will be satisfied. The tree species selection philosophy includes not only whether the tree is hardy enough but whether it can achieve the design function for the area. In theory, a well-placed tree in a well-designed landscape will require less maintenance and yield more rewards for the community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NATURAL REQUIREMENTS OF TREES should be well understood to secure their survival and healthy growth after transplanting. Even the most protected and cared for tree in the nursery suffers a growth shock, temporary or permanent, immediately after planting, depending on the quality of care provided between lifting and planting. Forest deciduous trees used for transplanting in urban and rural settings suffer most because they undergo serious distortions contradicting their characteristics. Their roots are subjected to stress from the time of lifting, transporting and storing, and then the transplants are often planted too shallowly and too loosely. Finally, the importance of timely crown control to substitute the natural loss of their branches, as normally occurring in the forest, is ignored. If trees are expected to flourish, utmost care in all aspects of tree planting must be pursued to cushion the shock of transfer from a protected environment in the nursery (or forest) to an isolated one in the street or open field. Tree size is often accepted as an indication of high quality. However, bigger is not necessarily better: The prospects of survival and vigorous growth could be often secured simply by planting smaller trees with temporary protection, as opposed to larger trees planted at higher cost and higher vulnerability to failure. It is not surprising that the average life span of urban trees is often shorter than expected. The most hostile effect on the survival and initial growth of transplants should be attributed to shallow planting: It keeps the primary roots - the essence of root regeneration - too close to the soil surface, making them vulnerable to rapid drying. A dry planting hole, not pre-watered, compounds the effect of drying. In addition, trees which have been exposed to heat and wind during conventional practices of lifting, transporting and storing, suffer accelerated drying at planting. Thus, trees suffer a transplanting shock, often irreversible, and they die. At best, weakened transplants may hang on for several years, depending on the weather conditions or watering procedures, but, finally, succumb under exhaustion. Conventional guidelines do not satisfy requirements for recovery: The time span between lifting and transporting, and during storage, often lasts several days, and watering is often late or absent, accelerating drying and decline. The conventional fear of drowning, when planted too deep in soil of poor drainage for prolonged periods of time, may be correct, but does not justify to invite factors which counteract survival and vigorous growth, such as shallow planting. Drainage should be an engineering task relatively easy to solve, while physiological disturbances are difficult to divert damage to transplants done by shallow planting. Watering as a quick fix, as often practiced following a drought period, will be of little benefit to already weakened roots which have been continuously exposed to surface drying. As reasoned in this text, planting at a greater depth, where soil moisture is more readily available to the roots, makes watering less urgent during drought periods and saves cost. Planting trees loosely is a conventional practice needing serious reassessment. Trees in nature flourish well in undisturbed, firm soil, of adequate depth, unlike boulevard trees in insufficiently firmed soil. It does not minimize aeration to a point of suffocation. Well-tamped soil around and over a rootball will prevent air easy access to the roots enhancing drying. There is a great need to make the tree producers, planters and consumers aware of tree care as for a homeowner to care for the house. If done routinely, it may save costly repairs, and the trees will last longer for our benefit and enjoyment. This guide points out the misconceptions and errors in the current conventional planting practices and recommends measures that should minimize, even avoid, planting failures. The importance of moisture retention, depth of planting, soil covering and crown control are the primary subjects. A special chapter is devoted to roadside plantings for controlling the effect of wind and snow. Photographs with detailed captions should be eyeopeners by themselves. Those who wish to enrich their knowledge with unorthodox, down-to-earth facts about tree planting and care should find this guide invigorating and useful.

Download or read book The Politics of Street Trees written by Jan Woudstra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-18 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the politics of street trees and the institutions, actors and processes that govern their planning, planting and maintenance. This is an innovative approach which is particularly important in the context of mounting environmental and societal challenges and reveals a huge amount about the nature of modern life, social change and political conflict. The work first provides different historical perspectives on street trees and politics, celebrating diversity in different cultures. A second section discusses street tree values, policy and management, addressing more contemporary issues of their significance and contribution to our environment, both physically and philosophically. It explores cultural idiosyncrasies and those from the point of view of political economy, particularly challenging the neo-liberal perspectives that continue to dominate political narratives. The final section provides case studies of community engagement, civil action and governance. International case studies bring together contrasting approaches in areas with diverging political directions or intentions, the constraints of laws and the importance of people power. By pursuing an interdisciplinary approach this book produces an information base for academics, practitioners, politicians and activists alike, thus contributing to a fairer political debate that helps to promote more democratic environments that are sustainable, equitable, comfortable and healthier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating and beautifully illustrated volume that explains what street trees tell us about humanity’s changing relationship with nature and the city Today, cities around the globe are planting street trees to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, as landscape historian Sonja Dümpelmann explains, this is not a new phenomenon. In her eye-opening work, Dümpelmann shows how New York City and Berlin began systematically planting trees to improve the urban climate during the nineteenth century, presenting the history of the practice within its larger social, cultural, and political contexts. A unique integration of empirical research and theory, Dümpelmann’s richly illustrated work uncovers this important untold story. Street trees—variously regarded as sanitizers, nuisances, upholders of virtue, economic engines, and more—reflect the changing relationship between humans and nonhuman nature in urban environments. Offering valuable insights and frameworks, this authoritative volume will be an important resource for years to come.
