“…Although focus on ecosystem disservices is still disproportionately low compared to their positive counterparts, the concept has received some recent attention: for example, assessments of the negative impacts of health related to the spread of pathogens found in wilderness [1], research on the impact of invasive alien species [59], zoning of watersheds based on water-related disservices [57], perception of disservices in urban areas [31], assessments of the ecological impact of forest management interventions [56], perceptions of disservices in coastal communities of the Global South [32], or culturally determined detrimental attributes of bird diversity, as cultural ecosystem disservices [16]. The concept of instrumental disvalue can help assess how people articulate these disservices and the impact they have on them.…”

“…Similarly, the impact of trees on the character of the local settlement is a relatively new direction in research. While the perception of trees and attachment towards them have been studied by an increasing number of researchers [20][21][22], these typically ignore their urban context. Recent studies [23,24] have focused on individual trees in residential and heavily urbanised environments.…”

Individual trees and tree compositions provide a wide range of cultural ecosystem services, including playing a key role in defining urban character. In Hungary, urban landscape protection tools have recently been expanded, bringing the topic into the spotlight. However, the significance of natural elements (and particularly trees) in relation to the urban landscape is still under-researched. In this paper, using a novel methodology, the character-forming significance of trees and tree-compositional elements of historic gardens in Hungary that define the urban character is analysed and evaluated. The urban landscape protection tools that establish the current recognition of green elements within the urban landscape are also analysed. In addition, the spatial situations and characteristics making certain trees in historic gardens defining character elements within Hungarian settlements are studied. Reasons behind the lack of significant tree features in certain historic gardens, as well as the external and internal characteristics of tree elements that determine their visual impact have been categorised. The results reveal that visually important trees, while diverse, show distinct trends in terms of visibility and are subject to constant change. The results imply that a paradigm shift is necessary to maintain, design and regulate green infrastructure in relation to visually important trees.

“…Socioeconomic factors play a significant role in people's attitudes towards and willingness to establish and maintain trees in both rural and urban settings (Table 6). However, the distribution and density of trees in these areas can vary due to these factors (Blanco et al, 2020;Collins et al, 2019;Danquah et al, 2023;Graça et al, 2018;Hanisah et al, 2012;Koyata et al, 2021;Pistón et al, 2022;Suchocka et al, 2019). Understanding the relationship between socioeconomic aspects and the spatial distribution of trees is crucial for comprehending the dynamics of green infrastructure and its role in the spatial ecology of other species.…”

Urbanization can create uncertainty for biodiversity. Understanding the spatial distribution of trees along urban-rural gradients is crucial for sustainable land management and the conservation of biological diversity. However, limited information is available on the factors influencing the distribution of trees outside forests along urban-rural transition gradients. This paper uses the Preferred Reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to review how distance from urban centers, land use types, socio-economic disparities, and community attitudes and perceptions impact the spatial distribution of trees outside forests along urban-rural gradients. The review indicates that the species composition, diversity, density, and spatial arrangement of trees outside forests vary along the urban-rural gradient. The most commonly cited factors influencing this distribution are respondents' attitudes and perceptions of trees, socio-economic factors, and land use variations. Distance from the urban center was the least cited factor. However, there is significant variation in how different factors impact this distribution from study to study. Therefore, further research is needed to better understand the factors driving changes in the diversity of trees outside forests in various urban-rural contexts and to determine whether variations exist across different settings.
