Urban trees can potentially mitigate environmental degradation accompanying rapid
urbanisation via a range of tree benefits and services. But uncertainty exists about the extent …

Urban ecological studies, including focus on cities, suburbs, and exurbs, while having deep
roots in the early to mid 20th century, have burgeoned in the last several decades. We use …

Many environmental challenges are exacerbated within the urban landscape, such as
stormwater runoff and flood risk, chemical and particulate pollution of urban air, soil and …

The timely and effective assessment of the impacts of urban expansion on regional carbon
storage is an important issue in the fields of urban ecology and sustainability science. This …

Land allocation and pricing substantially impact carbon emissions, yet their nonlinear effects
remain understudied. This research employs ensemble machine learning models to …

Classification is a fundamental process in remote sensing used to relate pixel values to land
cover classes present on the surface. Over large areas land cover classification is …

Urban green space is purported to offset greenhouse‐gas (GHG) emissions, remove air and
water pollutants, cool local climate, and improve public health. To use these services …

Urban areas are hot spots that drive environmental change at multiple scales. Material
demands of production and human consumption alter land use and cover, biodiversity, and …

The patterns of biodiversity changes in cities are now fairly well established, although
diversity changes in temperate cities are much better studied than cities in other climate …

Carbon storage and sequestration by urban trees in the United States was quantified to
assess the magnitude and role of urban forests in relation to climate change. Urban tree field …
