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…
Snowlines and Treelines in the Tropical Andes
Examination of the dynamism of snowlines and treelines could provide insights into environmental change processes affecting land cover in the tropical Andes Mountains. Further, land cover at these ecotones represents a powerful lens through which to monitor and understand ecological processes across biophysical gradients while acknowledging their socioenvironmental dimensions. To illustrate this approach, we draw on recent research from two sites…
Biomass burning drives atmospheric nutrient redistribution within forested peatlands in Borneo
Biomass burning plays a critical role not only in atmospheric emissions, but also in the deposition and redistribution of biologically important nutrients within tropical landscapes. We quantified the influence of fire on biogeochemical fluxes of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) in a 12 ha forested peatland in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Total (inorganic + organic) N, ${{{\rm{NO}}}_{3}}^{-}$ –N, ${{{\rm{NH}}}_{4}}^{+}$ –N, total P, ${…
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…
Managing water services in tropical regions
Enduring footprint of historical land tenure on modern land cover in eastern M exico
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…
Sustainable Science? Reducing the Carbon Impact of Scientific Mega-Meetings
Scientists across the globe recognize the importance of reducing carbon emissions to combat climate change. At the same time, we have increased our carbon footprint through air travel to the growing number of scientific society "mega-meetings" that host thousands of attendees. Although alternative solutions have been proposed to reduce the environmental impact of annual conferences, these have yet to be evaluated against the business-as-usual sce…
