  • Understanding urban tree heat and drought stress by tracking growth and recovery following an extreme year

    Open AccessRenée M Marchin, Manuel Esperón‐Rodríguez et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2025

    An extreme summer in Sydney, Australia decreased urban tree growth by 64%. • Only small urban trees surrounded by impervious surfaces had severe drought stress. • Exotic species and trees with > 50 % crown dieback had slower growth recovery. • Growth recovery after the extreme summer was more related to sublethal heat stress. • Monitoring tree water access will help identify species vulnerable to urban heat. Most cities are likely to experience h…

  • Global trends in urban forest irrigation

    Open AccessManuel Esperón‐Rodríguez, Rachael V Gallagher et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2025

    Urban forests are critical for climate adaptation and liveability, but effective irrigation management—key to their sustainability—remains poorly documented at the global scale. This study addresses this critical knowledge gap by analysing urban forest irrigation practices across 109 cities in 21 countries, offering one of the first global assessments of irrigation approaches, challenges, and opportunities. Using survey data, we examined water so…

  • Mapping the climate risk to urban forests at city scale

    Open AccessManuel Esperón‐Rodríguez, Rachael V Gallagher et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2024

    Climate change represents a threat to the performance and persistence of urban forests and the multiple benefits they provide to city dwellers. Here, we use a novel approach to identify species and areas at high risk of climate change using the city of Melbourne, Australia, as a case study. We derive a safety margin, calculated based on climatic tolerance to two extreme climate variables (maximum temperature of the warmest month, MTWM; precipitat…
