Abstract

Abstract While many practitioners and scholars understand the risks associated with low urban tree diversity, they often lack the ability to rectify this challenge on their own. The complex system of tree production and procurement is shaped by market pressures, nursery and site constraints, local governance, and differing professional objectives among those who grow, specify, and plant trees. To understand constraints to and opportunities for increasing urban tree diversity, we conducted a series of focus groups comprised of nursery growers, landscape architects, and municipal tree managers. Our results highlight a significant list of considerations and constraints to diversity, with some issues shared among green industries and some specific to growers or purchasers. In light of our findings, we outline actionable strategies for increasing urban tree diversity.

在佛罗里达州(美国)扩大城市树种多样性:从业者的挑战和机遇

摘要尽管许多从业者和学者了解城市树木多样性低的风险，但他们往往缺乏独自应对这一挑战的能力。复杂的树木生产和采购系统是由市场压力、苗圃和场地限制、地方治理以及种植、指定和种植树木的人之间不同的专业目标形成的。为了了解增加城市树木多样性的制约因素和机会，我们组织了一系列由苗圃种植者、景观设计师和市政树木管理者组成的焦点小组。我们的研究结果突出了对多样性的一系列重要考虑和限制，其中一些问题在绿色产业中是共同的，一些问题是种植者或购买者特有的。根据我们的发现，我们概述了增加城市树木多样性的可行策略。

期刊介绍： Society and Natural Resources publishes cutting edge social science research that advances understanding of the interaction between society and natural resources.Social science research is extensive and comes from a number of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, political science, communications, planning, education, and anthropology. We welcome research from all of these disciplines and interdisciplinary social science research that transcends the boundaries of any single social science discipline. We define natural resources broadly to include water, air, wildlife, fisheries, forests, natural lands, urban ecosystems, and intensively managed lands. While we welcome all papers that fit within this broad scope, we especially welcome papers in the following four important and broad areas in the field: 1. Protected area management and governance 2. Stakeholder analysis, consultation and engagement; deliberation processes; governance; conflict resolution; social learning; social impact assessment 3. Theoretical frameworks, epistemological issues, and methodological perspectives 4. Multiscalar character of social implications of natural resource management
