Research Topics Urban ForestryUrban Ecosystems and ProcessesSince 1992 we have provided our customers with reliable scientific evidence that urban forests add real value to communities. Among their many benefits, trees reduce energy costs, intercept air pollutants, store carbon, and reduce stormwater runoff. Value of Urban Forests![]() What is the value of a tree? What environmental services do they provide and at what cost? Climate Ready Trees![]() By gradually shifting the planting palette to climate-ready trees, future generations can enjoy healthier and more resilient urban forests. Tree Demography and Monitoring![]() Demographic analysis and monitoring of urban forests (i.e., quantifying mortality, growth, and replacement rates) can provide insights into current and future vulnerabilities of the population and help focus management efforts. Products & Publications![]() Using our research results, we create new methods and strategies for managing and caring for community forests to help managers optimize the benefits and investment value of their community forest.
