Abstract

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is the largest and most diverse energy, research, and development institution within the Department of Energy (DOE) system in the United States. As such, the site endures constant land development that creates rigorous growing conditions for urban vegetation. Natural resource managers at ORNL recognize that trees are an integral component of the landscape and are interested in characterizing the urban forest and their associated ecosystem services benefits. We evaluated the urban forest structure, quantified ecosystem services and benefits, and estimated economic value of resources using i-Tree Eco at ORNL. While this assessment captured over 1100 landscape trees, the ORNL Natural Resources Management for landscape vegetation can be expanded to include unmanaged landscapes, e.g. riparian areas, greenspace, and other vegetative attributes to increase ecosystem services benefits. Assigning a monetary value to urban forest benefits help to inform decisions about urban forest management, ideally on cost-benefit analysis.
美国橡树岭国家实验室修复区景观植被树木生态分析
橡树岭国家实验室(ORNL)是美国能源部(DOE)系统内最大、最多样化的能源、研究和开发机构。因此,该基地经历了不断的土地开发,为城市植被创造了严格的生长条件。ORNL的自然资源管理者认识到树木是景观的一个组成部分,并对描述城市森林及其相关的生态系统服务效益感兴趣。利用i-Tree Eco对ORNL的城市森林结构进行了评价,量化了生态系统服务和效益,并估算了资源的经济价值。虽然这项评估收集了超过1100棵景观树木,但ORNL的景观植被自然资源管理可以扩展到包括未管理的景观,例如河岸区、绿地和其他植被属性,以增加生态系统服务的效益。为城市森林效益分配货币价值有助于为城市森林管理决策提供信息,最好是在成本效益分析方面。
