Pages : 28
Book Description
An analysis of trees in Washington, D.C. reveals that this city has about 1,928,000 trees with canopies that cover 28.6 percent of the area. The most common tree species are American beech, red maple, and boxelder. The urban forest currently store about 526,000 tons of carbon valued at $9.7 million. In addition, these trees remove about 16,200 tons of carbon per year ($299,000 per year) and about 540 tons of air pollution per year ($2.5 million per year). The structural, or compensatory, value is estimated at $3.6 billion. Information on the structure and functions of the urban forest can be used to improve and augment support for urban forest management programs and to integrate urban forests within plans to improve environmental quality in the Washington, D.C. area.

The Urban Forest
Author: David PearlmutterPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319502808
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
This book focuses on urban "green infrastructure" – the interconnected web of vegetated spaces like street trees, parks and peri-urban forests that provide essential ecosystem services in cities. The green infrastructure approach embodies the idea that these services, such as storm-water runoff control, pollutant filtration and amenities for outdoor recreation, are just as vital for a modern city as those provided by any other type of infrastructure. Ensuring that these ecosystem services are indeed delivered in an equitable and sustainable way requires knowledge of the physical attributes of trees and urban green spaces, tools for coping with the complex social and cultural dynamics, and an understanding of how these factors can be integrated in better governance practices. By conveying the findings and recommendations of COST Action FP1204 GreenInUrbs, this volume summarizes the collaborative efforts of researchers and practitioners from across Europe to address these challenges.
Tree Health, Carbon Sequestration, and Sustainibility of Urban Forests

Book Description
Abstract: Global climate change concerns have increased the need for multiple mitigation scenarios to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Strategic management of urban forests at different times and levels (e.g. nursery and landscape) can contribute to CO2 sequestration over time. Sustainable urban forests can therefore indirectly slow down the effects of climate change, emphasizing the need for increased research on different aspects of urban forest management.
