“…Urban green space, as an inseparable element of urban ecosystems, provides critical ecosystem services [1,2] for human wellbeing, like air quality improvement [3,4] through pollution removal and noise reduction, water and soil conservation [5], microclimate regulation [6,7], urban heat island (UHI) mitigation [8], biodiversity conservation [9,10], etc. Meanwhile, urban green spaces also bring economic and social benefits [11,12], for instance, energy saving, promoting community integration [13], and outdoor recreation.…”

“…There is a link between trees, green spaces and mortality, and it is documented in the literature (James, Hart, Banay, & Laden, ; Nowak et al, ; Villeneuve et al, ). In one particular study, the authors associated the increase in cardiovascular and respiratory deaths with the infestation and death of ash trees (genus Fraxinus ) in counties within the United States (Donovan et al, ).…”

“…One of the most important benefits for human health that urban forests can provide is the interception and reduction of air pollution (McDonald et al, 2007(McDonald et al, , 2016Nowak, Crane, & Stevens, 2006;Nowak, Hirabayashi, Bodine, & Greenfield, 2014;Nowak, Hirabayashi, Doyle, McGovern, & Pasher, 2018). Air pollution (e.g.…”

“…Siljeg et al (2018) drew attention to the link between urban green spaces and the quality of inhab-itant's life. In many cases, the literature also includes findings of association between the surrounding environment and health (Jackson et al 2013;Dzhambov et al 2014;Nowak et al 2018). In comparison with natural forests, urban forests are probably exposed to the most human impact both directly by recreational activities and indirectly by activities in nearby urbanized spaces.…”
