“…1 for a diagram of the institutional arrangements involved in the study. This five-year project had a relatively narrow focus on assessing yard tree survival in one county, but the findings have widespread geographic application, as tree survival is an important metric of planting program success for urban greening funders, researchers, resource managers, and local stewards Koeser et al 2014). This project had piecemeal funding from SMUD (in the form of transportation reimbursements to the lead researcher) and UCB (in the form of undergraduate student assistants), with under $10 thousand total dedicated to the project over five years.…”

Cities are increasingly engaging in sustainability efforts and investment in green infrastructure, including large-scale urban tree planting campaigns. In this context, researchers and practitioners are working jointly to develop applicable knowledge for planning and managing the urban forest. This paper presents three case studies of knowledge co-production in the field of urban forestry in the United States. These cases were selected to span a range of geographic scales and topical scopes; all three are examples of urban researcher-practitioner networks in which the authors are situated to comment on reflexively. The three cases resemble institutional structures described in the knowledge co-production literature, including participatory research, a hybrid organization of scientists and managers, and a community of practice. We find that trust, embeddedness, new approaches by both practitioners and researchers, and blending of roles all serve to recognize multiple forms of capability, expertise, and ways of knowing. We discuss the impacts of knowledge co-production and the ways in which hybrid institutional forms can enable its occurrence.

“…por limitaciones de espacio, deficiencias nutrimentales, compactación del suelo, falta de agua, temperaturas extremas, contaminación y vandalismo (Stojnic et al, 2016;Allen et al, 2017). Esto estresa al árbol y da como resultado un crecimiento pobre que repercute en la vitalidad y altas tasas de mortalidad (Koeser et al, 2014).…”

“…A partir de la fotosíntesis, la síntesis de carbohidratos es fundamental para el árbol, ya que estos compuestos mantienen el metabolismo, acumulan reservas y promueven el crecimiento de nuevos tejidos (Maselli y Silveira, 2017). Si la producción de azúcares depende de la disponibilidad de minerales en el suelo y de factores ambientales (Gamboa y Marín, 2012;Valenzuela et al, 2013), entonces, las condiciones de estrés ambiental, derivado del entorno urbano, provocan una reducción de las reservas de carbohidratos del árbol (Martínez et al, 2010;Koeser et al, 2014;Moser et al, 2018). La vitalidad está relacionada directamente con la cantidad de reservas, por lo que los ejemplares vigorosos son capaces de resistir ámbitos estresantes (Johnstone et al, 2013;Callow et al, 2018;Ramírez et al, 2018).…”

Los árboles de jacaranda son comunes en áreas urbanas del valle de México y se desarrollan frecuentemente bajo condiciones de estrés nutricional o hídrico, lo que restringe el crecimiento del arbolado. El suministro de carbohidratos a través del sistema vascular recientemente se ha recomendado como una opción para mejorar el crecimiento y vitalidad. Por lo anterior, el objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la glucosa sobre crecimiento y vitalidad de árboles de Jacaranda mimosifolia inyectada al tronco en cuatro concentraciones: 0 (testigo), 30, 55 y 80 g L-1 Se midieron incrementos en diámetro (cm) y altura (m), se monitoreó la condición de copa y producción de follaje y además se evaluó el contenido de carbohidratos en brotes, troncos y raíces, así como la fluorescencia de la clorofila (Fv/Fm). Se encontraron diferencias significativas (P≤0.05) en el incremento en diámetro y altura con la aplicación de 80 g L-1 de glucosa. La condición de copa mostró valores significativamente más altos en densidad y bajos en transparencia, así como una buena producción de follaje, con la concentración más alta del carbohidrato (80 g L-1). Su contenido presentó diferencias significativas (P≤0.05) en tronco, no así en brotes, raíces, ni en valores de fluorescencia de la clorofila. Las inyecciones de glucosa al tronco tienen un efecto significativo en el crecimiento de árboles de esta especie y afectan en menor medida la vitalidad del arbolado.

“…Urban tree growth and longevity has gained greater attention from researchers and practitioners in recent years [1][2][3][4][5][6], including those looking to increase long-term ecosystem services through planting initiatives [1,7,8]. In addition to documented benefits like improved human health [9], increased tourism [10], building energy conservation [11], and storm water management [12], urban trees provide transportation corridor-specific benefits such as improved driver mentality [13], enhanced roadway definition [14], and slowed asphalt degradation through shading [15].…”

Urban tree planting initiatives can experience high levels of mortality during establishment years. Mortality tied to the stresses of transplanting can be partially negated or exacerbated depending on the species selected, nursery materials used, site conditions present, and management practices employed. Past research has quantified post-planting survival, health, and growth. However, varying climates, species, land use types, and management practices warrant additional region-specific research. The purpose of this study is to assess the success of plantings along Florida highways and identify species, site, and management factors related to tree and palm health and establishment. Results show high annual establishment survival (98.5%) across 21 planting projects ranging from 9 to 58 months after installation, (n = 2711). For transplanted palms, the presence of on-site irrigation significantly improved establishment from 96.2% to 99.4%. No establishment differences were detected with regard to irrigation treatment for small-stature trees, shade trees, and conifers. Additionally, there were significant differences in tree health response among tree groups given species, management, and site factors.
