Urban Forest Ecology: A Guide
Understanding Trees in the City
About this book:
Discover the hidden life thriving beneath city streets with *Urban Forest Ecology: A Guide*—the definitive resource that transforms how you see, manage, and cherish urban trees. From soil compaction and heat islands to pest management and climate‑adaptation strategies, each chapter delivers science‑backed insights and practical techniques that empower planners, arborists, landscape designers, and passionate citizens to cultivate resilient, healthy urban forests.
Unlock the full suite of benefits that trees bring to our cities: cleaner air, cooler streets, storm‑water control, boosted property values, and enhanced community well‑being. Real‑world case studies and step‑by‑step guides show you how to select the right species, plant for success, prune with purpose, and harness mycorrhizal partnerships—turning ecological theory into tangible, everyday results.
Whether you’re drafting a city‑wide greening plan, caring for a neighborhood park, or simply curious about the silent sentinels lining your block, this guide equips you with the knowledge and tools to make every tree count. Join the movement shaping greener, more livable cities—one urban forest at a time.
