Background: Urban forestry is an emerging profession, yet its professional identity not clearly defined, nor does it have the full complement of support mechanisms commonly expected or needed by professionals. As a result, urban forest professionals rely on closely allied professions (e.g., arboriculture, forestry) resulting in frustration amongst and confusion lack awareness general public. Me...

More than 280 trees were uprooted in winching tests monitored by high resolution inclinometers at the base of and a forcemeter mounted line. The dataset comprises growing on different urban forest sites Europe North America mainly consists fifteen widespread tree species. For first time, large number measured non-destructively prior to uprooting failure, as commonly practiced consulting arboris...

Urban trees play an important role in helping cities adapt to climate change, but also are vulnerable changes themselves. We developed approach for assessing vulnerability of urban tree species and cultivars commonly planted the United States Upper Midwest current projected change through end 21st century. One hundred seventy-eight were evaluated their adaptive capacity a suite future-projected...

Background: Production of high-quality 3D models trees has a practical application in arboriculture, allowing the assessment, measurement, and recording aboveground structural features individual trees. Commercially available hobby UAVs (uncrewed aerial vehicles) with integrated cameras combination low-cost photogrammetry software package can produce high-definition tree structures low financia...

This paper investigates the relative influences of climatic and anthropogenic factors in explaining environmental and societal changes in the southern Alps, Italy. We investigate a deep sediment core (LL081) from Lake Ledro (652 m a.s.l.). Environmental changes are reconstructed through multiproxy analysis, that is, pollen-based vegetation and climate reconstruction, magnetic susceptibility (MS...

Invasive soilborne plant pathogens cause substantial damage to crops and natural populations, but our understanding of how to prevent their epidemics or reduce their damage is limited. A key and experimentally-tested concept in the epidemiology of soilborne plant diseases is that of a threshold spacing between hosts below which epidemics (invasive spread) can occur. We extend this paradigm by e...

Field trees are an integral part of the farmed parkland landscape in West Africa and provide multiple benefits to the local environment and livelihoods. While field trees have received increasing interest in the context of strengthening resilience to climate variability and change, the actual extent of farmed parkland and spatial patterns of tree cover are largely unknown. We used the rule-base...

Accurate quantification of evapotranspiration (ET) at the watershed scale remains an important research challenge for managing water resources in arid and semiarid areas. In this study, daily latent heat flux (LE) maps kilometer were derived from two-source energy budget (TSEB) model fed by MODIS leaf area index (LAI), land surface temperature (LST) products, meteorological data ERA-Interim rea...
