Achieving substantial tree canopy cover in dense urban areas is challenging due to space constraints and varying species performance. This study explores strategies for achieving a 40 % tree canopy cover target in a new development within the Western Sydney Aerotropolis Precinct, NSW, Australia, using scenario discovery analysis. We identified 54 climate-adapted tree species and analysed 1,372 scenarios considering tree spacing, mortality rates, and open space tree cover requirements. Using i-Tree Eco, we projected annual tree canopy growth over a 50-year period across seven urban typologies. Our results indicate that achieving the 40 % target is feasible only with a diverse mix of Australian native, indigenous, and exotic species and that tree mortality significantly impacts long-term canopy growth. While higher canopy cover in open spaces and effective species selection are crucial, the 40 % target remains difficult to achieve under most scenarios. Strategies to reduce net tree losses, optimise tree spacing, and implement effective landscape design are essential for substantial canopy cover. This research highlights the importance of promoting tree cover growth on private land and provides best practices for urban tree design, establishment, and management, offering insights transferable to other cities globally.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36104,"journal":{"name":"Trees, Forests and People","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100787"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143360566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional Dharbai grass, <em>Desmostachya bipinnata</em>, is of religious and socio-economic importance, commonly used in Hindu rituals and as a natural disinfectant. However, its resemblance to <em>Chrysopogon zizanioides</em> and <em>Saccharum spontaneum</em> poses challenges in identification. This paper aims to distinguish between these species through a detailed examination of their morphological and anatomical features. Specimens of <em>Chrysopogon zizanioides</em> and <em>Saccharum spontaneum</em> were collected from Thiruppanandal, Kumbakonam district, Tamil Nadu, India. Both morphological and microscopic examinations were conducted using stereomicroscopes and light microscopes to analyze leaf, stem, root, and inflorescence structures. In terms of reproductive features, three anthers and two feathery stigmas are observed, with an oblong-shaped ovary. In anatomical observations of the leaf cross-section, a single-layer epidermis, hypodermis with sclerenchyma cells, and vascular bundles with phloem and xylem are identified. The culm cross-section shows epidermis, sclerenchyma hypodermis, and apith made of parenchyma. The root cross-section displays distinct layers including epidermis, exodermis, and a central core of xylem and phloem. Traditionally, <em>Chrysopogon zizanioides</em> is utilized for various ailments, including kidney stones and respiratory issues, and features in religious customs. These observations and descriptions of <em>Chrysopogon zizanioides</em> are detailed below, Dense, aromatic roots with erect culms 1–2.5 m tall. Leaf blades are linear and stiff, with jagged margins. The inflorescence is an oblong panicle with spikelet pairs. The structure is similar to <em>S. spontaneum</em> but is distinct in certain vascular arrangements and the presence of amyloplasts in pith cells. Morphological and anatomical features can adequately differentiate <em>Desmostachya bipinnata, Chrysopogon zizanioides,</em> and <em>Saccharum spontaneum.</em> While the three share some common traits, there are notable distinctions. For example, <em>C. zizanioides</em> is characterized by a dense aromatic root, whereas <em>S. spontaneum</em> is distinguished by its serrated leaf margins. The distinct characteristics of the traditional plant <em>Desmostachya bipinnata</em> (Dharbai) have been validated through morphological and anatomical evaluation. This confirmation is crucial for preserving its socio-economic significance and uses in traditional practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36104,"journal":{"name":"Trees, Forests and People","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100788"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143128587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study reveals that treelines under protected areas show higher species richness (27) and species diversity (3.42) compared to species richness (17) and species diversity (2.22) in the non-protected areas. The average TBA of tree species was higher (36) at protected sites compared to 27 in the non-protected sites. Further, the average density of seedlings (7587) and saplings (633) was higher in protected sites than in non-protected sites (seedlings-1720 &amp; 263-saplings). Thus, the better regeneration of dominant tree species with an expanding population structure in the protected area. This showed the efficient role of protected sites in biodiversity conservation and management. Livestock grazing and fuelwood harvesting were the key human-induced pressures in the non-protected sites. Fuelwood consumption was recorded as a maximum (5.4 kg/capita/day) for Kuti village (3800 m) in the Byans Valley, followed by Sipu (3.4) in Darma Valley and a minimum for Martoli (2.4) in Johar Valley. Anthropogenic disturbances have impacted the regeneration and recruitment of tree species in treeline ecotone in the non-protected sites. An increasing number of seedlings and saplings was observed in an open canopy of treeline ecotone, which indicates an expanding number of seedlings and saplings was observed in the open canopy treeline ecotone, which suggests the possibility of expansion of tree species towards higher elevations.

We conducted quantitative interviews with harvesters (<em>n</em> = 25), traders (<em>n</em> = 12), and central wholesalers (<em>n</em> = 2) in 2014–15 and with traders (<em>n</em> = 5) in 2021–22 in Kailali District of Sudurpaschim Province, Nepal.

The total annual trade increased from 151 to 340 tons in the period, and the value rose from USD 103,939 to USD 125,800 (in 2021–22 prices). The trade was dominated by the cultivated tejpat leaves (<em>Cinnamomum tamala</em>) and the leaves of kadipatta (<em>Murraya koenigii</em>) in 2021–22.

Secondary processing in the district was limited, resulting in missed opportunities for added value through processing. Non-firm actors captured value in connection to issuing collection, trade, and export permits. An average of 68 % of volume and 86 % of harvester value were sourced from cultivation, showing the growing importance of these species for supplementary rural income in the lowlands.
