“…Most trees are planted in their definitive place within the urban setting and they have been exposed to the onslaught of different damaging agents throughout its different growth stages; therefore, identifying damaging agents is a priority in an effort to maintain and prolong what is collectively now known as ecosystem services (Johnston & Hirons, 2014;Morgenroth et al, 2016;Thom & Seidl, 2016;Bravo-Bello et al, 2020).…”

“…Selecting the right species for an urban area requires careful examination (i.e., potential constraints, tree ecophysiology, aesthetic and functional attributes, otherwise, the trees will be more susceptible to diseases and pests, and thus leading to extra-maintenance costs (removal and replacement, pruning, fertilization, etc.) (McPherson, 1993;Roman & Scatena, 2011;Johnston & Hirons, 2014;Bravo-Bello et al, 2020).…”

Urban trees are subjected to different damaging agents throughout their lifetime. The aims of this study were to identify tree damaging agents, and to obtain a Damage Severity Index (DSI) in order to categorize tree health condition at San Juan de Aragon Park. Each tree was identified at species level in 28 randomly established plots in ten sections of the study area. Up to two types of damage were recorded per tree, based on the FIA (Forest Inventory an Analysis Program) protocol, and a DSI was obtained for each damaged tree considering location of damage, nature of the damaging agent and severity. A total of 753 trees were assessed and 12 species and 27 damaging agents were identified. Cankers, galls, the pepper tree psyllid and the red gum lerp psyllid were the most frequent damaging agents. Australian pine, red gum, Mediterranean cypress, Mexican white cedar, and California pepper were the most affected species. The DSI ranged from 3 to 17 and the average was 7.9. Sections J and H and the species California pepper, Australian pine, and Mexican white cedar presented the highest DSI. The tree population had a moderate health condition, while the aforementioned sections and tree species showed the poorest.

“…As a consequence, trees that are native to the region and prosper outside the urban area may struggle in an urban environment and thus endure a lower useful life expectancy. Arborists need to make pragmatic decisions on what type of tree to plant paying particular attention to mortality rates of trees in an urban environment (Roman et al , 2014; Bravo-Bello et al , 2020; Lanza and Stone, 2016; Scholz et al , 2016). Detailed analysis of a tree asset register may provide arborists with this type of information.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to consider how a local government authority may present a tree asset register of street trees for the decision-making of the authority's stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachUsing the tenets of population density theory, urban form theory and social stratification theory, the approach of the study is to develop a tree asset register in a local government authority's setting that could be modelled using many different attributes to derive important information for decision-making purposes.FindingsTree asset registers represent a critical tool in managing street trees across local government authorities.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the efficacy of an asset tree register may be curtailed by lack of internal audit or yearly updates, the practical consequence of an asset tree register is that local administrators may use the register to gather summarised, organised and parsimonious measures of a wide range of environmental, historical, cultural, aesthetic and scientific values of street trees.Practical implicationsTree asset registers affords ratepayers, developers, tree managers and valuers a technology to plan, coordinate and manage street trees to support ecosystem services.Social implicationsAsset tree registers offer planners a means to bring about sustainable change management.Originality/valueThe originality of the study rests in introducing tree registers as a means to meet diverse strategies for street tree management by interested stakeholders.

El desarrollo de plantaciones forestales comerciales en México es una gran oportunidad para el sector forestal debido a las condiciones climáticas y edafológicas que presenta el país. El cultivo del hule (Hevea brasiliensis) como plantación forestal comercial ofrece muchos beneficios; sin embargo, no se ha desarrollado el potencial de este cultivo debido a diversos factores relacionados con el proceso productivo y a la falta de planeación para el mismo. En este trabajo se utiliza el método de análisis multicriterio y proceso de análisis jerarquizado para la zonificación de áreas potenciales óptimas para el establecimiento de plantaciones de hule en el estado de Oaxaca. La modelación se realizó a partir de los requerimientos edafoclimáticos de H. brasiliensis y ponderación de variables en un ambiente de Sistemas de Información Geográfica. Las jerarquías entre los criterios por ponderar se definieron con el apoyo de técnicos especializados y de agricultores relacionados con el cultivo del hule. Los resultados señalan que el criterio más importante para la modelación fue el clima con una ponderaciónde 0.30 en precipitación, seguido por las temperaturas (0.17). Con base en los principios del Análisis Multicriterio fue posible manifestar que en el desarrollo potencial óptimo de H. brasiliensis son determinantes los factores climáticos, edáficos y topográficos. El potencial óptimo para el cultivo del hule en el estado son los municipios de Matias Romero, Juan Lana, San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec, Santiago Jocotepec y Santiago Yaveo. Se espera que la metodología empleada sirva de base para aplicaciones similares con otras especies.
