Potential effects of climate change on Melbourne’s street trees and some implications for human and non-human animals
نویسنده
چکیده
Melbourne has an extensive canopy of street trees that provides an important urban amenity and contributes both to human health and wellbeing and as food and habitat for non-human animals. There is some evidence that the composition of Melbourne’s street trees is likely to change as a result of climate change (Kendal et al. 2011). However, we know little about what these changes may be, and what this could mean for Melbourne’s human, avian and mammal inhabitants.
