Research note
Natural urban green areas in cities are susceptible to degradation due to high levels of recreational use and trampling induced wear. The aim of this study was to relate the amount of wear (paths and worn ground) in boreal urban forests to landscape-scale and local-scale predictors to help assess risks associated with urban densification. Wear was measured in 73 forests in three urban centers in southern Finland and analyzed in relation to surrou…
Urban forests host rich polypore assemblages in a Nordic metropolitan area
Urban forests are often remnants of former larger forested areas, and traditionally considered as degraded habitats due to negative effects of urbanization. However, recent studies have shown that urban forests managed for recreational purposes can be structurally close to natural forests and may provide habitat features, such as dead wood, that are scarce in intensively managed forest landscapes. In this study, we assessed how urbanization affec…
Stand characteristics and dead wood in urban forests
Urban forests are usually not intensively managed and may provide suitable environments for species threatened by production forestry. Thus, urban forests could have the potential of enhancing biodiversity both within cities and at a larger landscape scale. In this study, we investigated stand structures of boreal urban forests to assess them in terms of naturalness and biodiversity conservation potential. We sampled two types of urban spruce-dom…
