Trees Reduce Daytime Extreme Urban Heat Risk for People Experiencing Unsheltered Homelessness
The digitalization of urban forest management
New and advancing digital tools not only change how urban forest data is generated, stored, analyzed, and visualized, these tools also reshape the meaning and management of urban forests. To understand how, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 63 urban forestry practitioners in 21 cities across four U.S. states. We analyzed the types and applications of digital tools used in urban forestry management and the ways in which managers use dig…
Just Distribution of Tree Canopy? A Digital Approach to Tree Equity
Trees in U.S. cities are unevenly and inequitably distributed. To address this challenge, planners increasingly use digital tools to prioritize areas and communities for tree projects. The goal is to achieve tree equity wherein all populations have access to the benefits of urban trees. Here we identify limitations and opportunities in the operationalization of the tree equity concept via digital platforms. We call on planners using digital tools…
Breeding distrust: The biopolitics of chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is now a major health concern among US cervid populations, including white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus). Texas is home to the greatest number of deer breeding facilities and most bred deer in the United States. The vast majority of the state's CWD cases occur at deer breeding facilities. CWD risk on deer breeding facilities is largely owed to the close proximity of deer pens. To reduce the risk of CWD transm…

Economic-Development Stakeholder Perspectives on Boomtown Dynamics in the Eagle Ford Shale, Texas
Unconventional oil and gas production in the United States reversed a decades- \nold trend of rising oil imports, provided an argument for lifting the U.S. crude oil \nexport ban and motivated the development of domestic natural gas export facilities. But \nthe most visible impact of unconventional-hydrocarbon extraction is the creation of \nboomtowns in rural regions. Despite widespread media coverage, scholarly analysis of \nboomtowns is restri…
Fracking and environmental (in)justice in a Texas city
A Low-Cost GPS-Based Protocol to Create High-Resolution Digital Elevation Models for Remote Mountain Areas
Researchers and development practitioners in remote mountain areas rely on elevation data to study vegetation dynamics, natural hazards, land use, and other patterns. However, despite advances in technology, accurate digital elevation models (DEMs) with spatial resolution <30 m do not exist for most of the world's montane regions. We used a low-cost GPS-based protocol to construct a high-resolution (10 m) DEM for a rugged, remote mountain site in…
How Dallas became frack free: Hydrocarbon Governance Under Neoliberalism
Local-scale government ordinances that attempt to delay or displace oil and gas drilling in their territories are common in regions with hydrocarbon extraction activities. Drawing on literature from policy mobilities and resource and energy governance, this paper analyzes policymaking processes that resulted in a December 2013 ordinance in Dallas, Texas, which established a 1500 foot (457.2 meter) setback between gas wells and residences, making …
Enduring footprint of historical land tenure on modern land cover in eastern M exico: Implications for environmental services programmes
Historical land‐tenure regimes and associated land‐use practices can have cumulative and persistent long‐term (centuries) effects on land cover in human‐modified landscapes. Thus, identifying areas historically preferred for specific land uses is important to prioritise sites for payments for environmental services ( PES ) programmes. We use historical studies spanning the 16th to 20th centuries, 1907 and 2007 land‐tenure maps, and a supervised c…

From Crops to Concrete: Urbanization, Deagriculturalization, and Construction Material Mining in Central Mexico
In tropical countries, urbanization and rural deagriculturalization are intimately linked processes. Growth of the construction industry, which draws labor and materials from rural and periurban areas, is a key component of rural–urban interactions. Using a case study from the Perote Valley, Mexico, this article analyzes how urban-driven concrete aggregate mining affects rural agricultural lands and livelihoods. Land-cover changes associated with…
