Download or read book Urban Forests of Wisconsin 2012 written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trees in cities can contribute significantly to human health and environmental quality. In 2002, there were an estimated 26.9 million trees (36.9 trees / acre) within non-forested urban areas in Wisconsin. In 2012, the non-forest urban areas were reassessed based on 185 field plots. Urban forest attributes changed between 2002 and 2012 due, in part, to the expansion of urban areas, but also tree planting and natural regeneration, tree growth and tree mortality. Based on the 2012 data, urban forest structure, functions, health, and values in non-forest urban areas in Wisconsin (i.e., hereafter referred to as urban forests) were analyzed using the i-Tree Eco model. In addition, changes in tree populations greater than 5 inches d.b.h. were assessed (2002-2012). Results reveal that urban forests in 2012 have an estimated 42.8 million trees (45.9 trees / acre). Trees are considered as any woody plant with a d.b.h. ≥ 1 inch. Most trees are found in residential areas (69.2 percent). The most common species are common lilac (Syringa vulgaris), Northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis), and apple species (Malus spp.). Wisconsin's urban forest currently stores about 4.0 million tons of carbon valued at $507 million. In addition, these trees remove about 212 thousand tons of carbon per year ($26.8 million per year) and about 7,030 tons of air pollution per year ($47.7 million per year). Trees in non-forest urban Wisconsin are estimated to decrease annual residential energy costs by $78.9 million per year. The compensatory value is estimated at $19.3 billion. In Wisconsin, 64 percent of the trees were within maintained areas with residential land uses containing the highest proportion of maintained trees. Overall, 1.1 percent of trees were recorded as standing dead. Between 2002 and 2012, one species that had a statistically significant increase in trees greater than 5 inches was silver maple (Acer saccharinum). Species with statistically significant decreases were white ash (Fraxinus americana) and sugar maple (Acer saccharum). Strengths and weaknesses of the national urban forest inventory and analysis protocol were identified and recommendations for intensification are made. Information in this report can be used to advance the understanding and management of urban forests to improve human health and environmental quality in Wisconsin.

Download or read book Urban forestry and urban greening in drylands Improving resilience health and wellbeing of urban communities written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a contribution to the new FAO Green Cities programme, the Forestry Division has developed in close collaboration with the Regional Offices in Africa, Asia and the Near East a new global programme: the Green Urban Oases Programme. The overall objective of the programme is to turn dryland cities into “green urban oases” and strengthen their overall resilience to climatic, health, food and economic crisis, as well as to reduce the impact of urbanization on biodiversity and the surrounding natural environment. The present document is intended to be used to provide a solid backgroudn to role of urban forests in supporting urban resilience in drylands, raise governments' interest in joining the programme, and attract both technical and resource partners to support its implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This advanced textbook moves beyond a basic scientific comprehension of urban ecosystems to understand the essential details of how scientists, policy makers, and practitioners develop solutions to effectively manage urban biodiversity. Such efforts necessitate unravelling the complex components that bolster or constrain biodiversity including human-wildlife interactions, resource availability, climate fluctuations, novel species relationships, and landscape heterogeneity. However, key to an understanding of these processes is also recognizing the tremendous social variation inherent within and across urban areas. The diversity of urban human communities fundamentally shapes how society designs, builds, and manages urban landscapes. This means that urban environmental management unavoidably must account for human social variation. Unfortunately, urban systems have a history and continued legacy of social inequality (e.g., systemic racism and classism) that govern how cities are both built and managed. This novel text not only highlights these connections, but also illustrates the interdisciplinary approaches needed for advancing a new, justice-centred approach to nature conservation. Urban Biodiversity and Equity is suitable for graduate level students and professional researchers from both natural and social science disciplines studying the ecology, conservation, and management of urban environments and their biodiversity. It will also be of relevance and use to a broader audience of urban ecologists, urban planners, and urban wildlife practitioners.
