Numerous countries have adopted large-scale tree planting programs as a climate mitigation strategy and to improve local livelihoods. However, it remains poorly documented how the surge in tree plantations has altered local livelihoods. Here, we assess whether tropical tree plantation expansion and fores...
Tree planting is increasingly being adopted as a strategy to address global change, including mitigation, adaptation, and restoration. Although reforestation has long been central to forest management, the desired outcomes of traditional and emerging tree-planting strategies face barriers linked to a lack...
Objectives of this research project were to identify the existing situation of the street treeplanting in the 15 sub divisions of the Colombo Municipal Council Area and to give somerecommendations for improvements. 2 trunk roads were selected per division randomlyand the status of trees in these ...
Collectively, our work integrates biotic and anthropogenic factors across phylogenetic and functional diversity for both invasion presence and invasion severity of non-native tree species worldwide. Although non-native trees have been relatively overlooked relative to herbaceous plants, their large size, lo...
‘invasion debts’ of recent tree plantings3, understanding the ecological drivers promoting spread has the potential to provide real-time feedback for the preventative management of invasive trees. However, there are important considerations when interpreting these findings, many of which could be ...
In 2019, Janus began planting with TreeNM and has since enjoyed the Tree Stewards program, delivering trees on her trailer, and collaborating on grants. James A. Maddox President Jim has been active with Tree New Mexico and a member of the Board of Directors since 1993. Laura W. Rummler...
urban trees – the first few years after planting during which trees are more likely to die, [26, 27] Extra vigilance during the establishment phase, in terms of maintenance and stewardship, might have the most payoff for ensuring planting survival, and thus achieving larger canopy objectives. ...
Tree planting success is then a context-dependent, value-laden term, that will be determined by the association of stakeholder's expectations with project performance evaluated by assessing whether pre-defined, quantifiable objectives have been achieved The reasons for planting trees vary among ...
and analyzing genetic tests are critical aspects of tree breeding programs that must be done well to maximize genetic gain per unit time at minimum cost. Tree breeding programs vary widely in design, breeding strategy, and intensity owing to differences in species' biology, breeding objectives, and...
Our case study demonstrates how learning objectives can be integrated with university sustainability initiatives to improve learning and student engagement. Finally, we see green spaces as dynamic settings for learning about physical processes and issues related to environmental management and sustainability....
