Forest Tree Virome as a Source of Tree Diseases and Biological Control Agents
Purpose of ReviewThe collective virome of forest trees can be considered to include not only plant viruses, but also viral communities harbored by...
-
Satisfaction with urban trees associates with tree canopy cover and tree visibility around the home
Many world cities want to expand the number of urban trees. How this expansion occurs should consider what people expect from trees based on how they...

The Biosecurity Risks of International Forest Tree Seed Movements
Purpose of ReviewBecause tree seeds have been considered a low-risk pathway for the spread of plant pathogenic fungi, their international movement is...
-
Maximum tree height in European Mountains decreases above a climate-related elevation threshold
Mountain forests face important threats from global change and spatio-temporal variation in tree height can help to monitor these effects. In this...

Historical changes in tree and impervious surface cover following urban renewal in a small postindustrial city
Changes in tree cover and impervious surfaces have been observed across many cities in the United States over the past 70 years. Many municipalities...

Global inequities in population exposure to urban greenspaces increased amidst tree and nontree vegetation cover expansion
Cities worldwide are expanding greenspaces, including parks, urban forests, and grasslands. However, population exposure to tree and nontree...

High-carbon wood ash biochar enhances native tree survival and growth on sand-capped mine tailings
Use of waste wood biomass for bioenergy produces wood ash as a by-product; this ash is typically landfilled, but can potentially play an important...

Conceptualizing the human drivers of low tree diversity in planted urban landscapes
Despite the abundance of tree diversity in the natural world, and generally high tree species richness in urban areas, urban forests continue to be...
-
Stakeholders’ Perspectives of Species Diversity in Tree Plantations: a Global Review
Purpose of ReviewIncreasing the diversity of commercial tree plantations is a promising approach to adapt forests to climate change, but it may...
-
Environmental drivers of tree species richness in the southernmost portion of the Paranaense forests
BackgroundThe Rio de la Plata grassland region is dominated by temperate grasslands, with the scarce natural forests, influenced floristically by...
-
Diverse types of coupling trends in urban tree and nontree vegetation associated with urbanization levels
Cities are increasingly recognizing the benefits of incorporating urban greening strategies into their planning and design to improve sustainability...
