Factors influencing street tree health in constrained planting spaces: Evidence from Kyoto City, Japan

Xiaoyang Tan et al.

Summary: Street trees face threats from various factors, and their health condition is significantly related to pruning intensity, tree pit size, adjacent land use, presence of tree grate or guard, sidewalk width, tree height, presence of dedicated cycle route, tree pit pattern, crown light exposure, DBH, and tree pit type. Trees with large diameters and planted in concrete-paved pits or industrial areas tend to be in poorer condition, while those planted in longer strips and subjected to weak pruning show better health. These findings suggest potential for healthy growth of street trees in restricted planting spaces, emphasizing the importance of proper management and planting practices. Additionally, the data can inform urban tree managers for better species selection and planning in future street tree projects.

Equally green? Understanding the distribution of urban green infrastructure across student demographics in four public school districts in North Carolina, USA

Zhenzhen Zhang et al.

Summary: Green infrastructure is crucial for health, well-being, and sustainability in urban areas. However, its distribution is often uneven, leading to unequal access for low-income residents and underserved racial/ethnic communities. This study found that while green infrastructure was distributed more equitably in schoolyards, it was still less prevalent compared to surrounding neighborhoods. There is an opportunity for school districts to expand green infrastructure in schoolyards to provide more ecosystem services for all students.

Reduced diurnal temperature range mitigates drought impacts on larch tree growth in North China

Xianliang Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of changes in sub-daily temperatures (DTR) and cloud cover on tree growth and drought stress. The results show that reducing DTR benefits tree growth in the absence of severe droughts, while increased cloud cover only benefits tree growth during severe drought periods.

Socioeconomic and spatial inequalities of street tree abundance, species diversity, and size structure in New York City

Jian Lin et al.

Summary: In this study, street tree inequalities in New York City were examined by deriving seven street tree measures from high-resolution satellite images, Google Street View, and street tree census. The results showed that street tree inequalities are greatest with respect to tree abundance and species diversity, notably affected by race-based and education-based factors. Socially vulnerable areas with severe inequalities were identified in Brooklyn and Queens, highlighting the importance of addressing differentiated distribution of tree resources among different social groups for environmental equity.

Effect of urban tree diversity and condition on surface temperature at the city block scale

Javiera Chinchilla et al.

Summary: Urban forests have an impact on land surface temperature (LST) in cities due to the cooling effect of transpiration. Research has shown a positive correlation between urban forest tree diversity and LST, as well as a negative correlation between biotic disturbance and LST, indicating that the health of urban forests is affected by both factors.

Urban forest response to Hurricane Irma: The role of landscape characteristics and sociodemographic context

Shawn M. Landry et al.

Summary: Urban trees are often influenced by factors like wind protection and sociodemographic context, with larger stem diameters and lower wind firmness being associated with higher likelihood of tree failure after hurricanes. Contrary to previous studies, higher species diversity was linked to increased tree failure. Geographically weighted regression models found that certain demographic factors were predictors of tree failure in some plots, but overall, the influence of neighboring trees or structures was not significant.

Are street tree inequalities growing or diminishing over time? The inequity remediation potential of the MillionTreesNYC initiative

Jian Lin et al.

Summary: This study analyzed street tree census data from 1995 to 2015 in New York City, finding that underprivileged populations are more likely to experience street tree inequality, and that different types of street tree inequalities have decreased over time. The MillionTreesNYC initiative has played a role in mitigating these inequalities.

Analysis of urban green space accessibility and distribution inequity in the City of Chicago

Dong Liu et al.

Summary: Urban green space has positive impacts on physical and mental health, but studies suggest disparities in access to UGS among different racial/ethnic and income groups. White-majority census tracts generally have better UGS accessibility compared to minority-dominated tracts, with black-majority tracts having higher accessibility than Hispanic-majority tracts. There is also income-based UGS accessibility inequality within racial/ethnic groups, with the most inequity found in black-majority census tracts.

Spatial configuration and time of day impact the magnitude of urban tree canopy cooling

Michael Alonzo et al.

Summary: The study shows that trees can lower air temperatures in urban environments. The cooling effects of hard and soft canopies vary at different times of day, with soft canopies showing the most significant cooling effect in the evening. Distributed canopies have better cooling effects in predawn and evening, which is crucial for urban heat island mitigation planning.

Using urban landscape pattern to understand and evaluate infectious disease risk

Yang Ye et al.

Summary: Based on landscape epidemiology, investigation of COVID-19 case numbers in 161 sub-districts of Wuhan was conducted, with landscape metrics calculated based on land use/land cover. Results showed that central urban sub-districts had higher infection risk, with development intensity, landscape level, and urban blue-green space identified as principal components affecting disease infection risk.

Jean C. Bikomeye et al.

Summary: This paper examines the disproportionate impact of structural racism, COVID-19, climate change, and chronic diseases on racial and ethnic minorities in the US and worldwide, emphasizing the need for strategic investments in public greenspaces in urban neighborhoods of color. Key strategies and considerations are recommended to guide this investment, drawing upon scientific literature and community-based work, with successful examples from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
