However, proper tree care and management are necessary for their survival, particularly for street and residential trees.Through a survey, our objectives were to identify and quantify the presence of residential and street trees and the contribution of residents in tree planting and care in the city of Xalapa, Mexico. We assessed the dwelling characteristics that facilitate the presence, planting, and care of residential and street trees in the city (socioeconomic level, homeownership, time of inhabitance, and location of dwellings) via Generalized Linear Models.In Xalapa, the presence of residential trees was higher than that of street trees; people contributed significantly to the planting and care of both residential and street trees; the socioeconomic level and time of inhabitance were positively associated with the presence and planting of street trees; and homeownership was positively associated with residential trees. However, tree care was largely independent of tree planting and dwelling characteristics.People’s contributions and commitment to planting and care for residential and street trees are high, with the dwelling characteristics showing as important factors for tree presence and planting, but not for tree care. Recognizing people’s actions and participation in tree planting and care and orienting them towards a positive impact through city planning and management can help to keep Xalapa as a green, functional city that provides quality benefits and services to the urban dwellers.","PeriodicalId":373407,"journal":{"name":"Arboriculture & Urban Forestry","volume":"224 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141386874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These activities can damage tree roots, often through methods like root severing during trenching or excavation.In 2017, we simulated trenching damage on matureQuercus virginianaMill. trees at 3 different distances from the base (3, 6, or 12 times the stem diameter). After 5 years, we revisited these trees to assess root regrowth based on the cut root’s cross-sectional area (CSA) and distance from the base.We observed regrowth in all but 38 (6.7%) of the 557 cut roots revisited. The lack of regrowth in some roots was not associated with our original treatments, the CSA of the roots at the time of trenching, or distance between the cut root end and the trunk (minimumP-value = 0.841). On average, the observed CSA of the regrowth was 22.2% of the original root’s CSA. Only our initial trenching treatments (P-value = 0.024) and the distance between the trunk and the cut root end (P-value = 0.002) significantly predicted the level of regrowth observed 5 years after pruning.In summary, our findings indicate that root systems require many years to recover from trenching damage. Increasing the distance between trenching activities and trees may have a minor effect on root regrowth.","PeriodicalId":373407,"journal":{"name":"Arboriculture & Urban Forestry","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141267072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Urban parks should be designed to have a profound impact on the mental health and well-being of citizens through the provision of high-quality facilities and services. Nevertheless, there are differences in the influencing factors in urban parks. Nowadays, urban parks as the lungs of cities are considered important destinations for citizens to get rid of stress and mental fatigue. Therefore, it is important to understand what factors contribute to people feeling mentally better and improving their well-being. Based on people’s experiences and opinions, the present study aims to investigate how urban parks as nature-based solutions in Marivan City, Iran, especially the green infrastructure and its elements in Shano and Zaribar Parks, contribute to respondent’s mental health and overall well-being. The necessary data for this study were collected from 277 respondents using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was randomly distributed both in person and online. The questions were categorized based on 3 indicators directly related to mental health and well-being: perceptual, visual, and functional. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling in Smart-PLS software. Results indicate that the perceptual, visual, and functional indicators in Marivan’s urban parks have a significant impact on the mental health and well-being of residents. Among these indicators, the visual indicator has shown the highest level of influence.","PeriodicalId":373407,"journal":{"name":"Arboriculture & Urban Forestry","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141267201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tree climbing is hazardous work. This study investigated the causes of a branch-breaking accident involving a certified arborist.The branch was 11 cm in diameter. The density and mechanics of the branch wood were studied; the measurable stresses and deformations until the material ruptured were analyzed. The position of the tree climber and the applied forces were calculated, including the shear stresses, the bending moment, and the support reaction suffered at the point of rupture.The shear stress grew exponentially fromV= 25.78 MPa; a shifting of the angle of the lanyard by > 45° and moving one meter toward the tip of the branch caused a 64.67% increase in shear stress. The support distance of the arborist’s body on the one anchor point on the branch, combined with the angle of force on the same branch, caused the imminent rupture of the branch’s base. The study provides evidence that the arborists should avoid traveling over small horizontal branches using only one safety point with lanyards.","PeriodicalId":373407,"journal":{"name":"Arboriculture & Urban Forestry","volume":"71 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141268345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noting this, we determined current and desired urban forest access of Florida (United States) residents using the criteria from the 3-30-300 rule (i.e., 3 trees visible from home, 30% urban tree canopy in neighborhood, and a green space within 300 meters of home).A survey of 1,716 Florida residents was conducted to assess canopy coverage and green space access. Respondents were then asked if this level of urban forest access was sufficient. We also asked their perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks of urban trees and whether they had any negative interactions with trees in the past.We found that 37.3% of Florida residents met all 3 criteria of the 3-30-300 rule. Despite this, half the respondents would prefer more trees in their neighborhoods. When asked to name the top benefits provided by trees, the most common responses were shade, beauty, and attracting wildlife. The most common drawbacks to urban trees included the risk of damage to property, leaves/debris, and fears regarding storms and hurricanes.Florida residents largely value their urban forest and would like to see it maintained or enhanced. Improving access to greenspaces for recreation is the most pressing concern for urban forest managers in Florida looking to meet the requirements of the 3-30-300 rule. Results from this study can inform urban forest management efforts in Florida and beyond.","PeriodicalId":373407,"journal":{"name":"Arboriculture & Urban Forestry","volume":"116 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140709065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) confers and manages professional arborist certification as well as other arborist credentials. However, many communities, such as in the southern United States, have few if any credentialed commercial tree care professionals. This study explores the motivations and barriers commercial tree care workers place on professional arborist certification.The research employed 60 qualitative interviews from 3 of the 8 southern states to elicit emergent themes and detailed understanding of participants’ attitudes and experiences. In addition, an online survey of 742 international respondents was conducted to validate and complement interview findings.Results illustrate degrees of professional interest in certification. For example, some arborists pursued certification to improve sales with government organizations, while both certified and noncertified participants suggested few clients were aware of certification and therefore did not consider certification valuable to market competition. Additionally, company cultures supporting professional development and engagement with professional organizations influenced certification among new employees. Finally, some arborists viewed certification as a pathway to increase knowledge, skills, and confidence in arboriculture. Others discussed difficulties in traditional education and testing required for certification.The reasons for pursuing certification were as diverse as the tree care workers in the industry. Findings suggest several possible interventions to address the challenges some individuals have in achieving certification.","PeriodicalId":373407,"journal":{"name":"Arboriculture & Urban Forestry","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140710880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structural pruning of young trees can reduce future conflicts and risk as trees grow larger; it also can reduce future maintenance costs. Volunteers can perform important urban forestry tasks such as planting, watering, and conducting inventories. It was hypothesized that, with training, they could also learn to structurally prune young street trees.Forty-seven volunteers in three cities in Massachusetts were trained to structurally prune trees. Twenty volunteers trained in a classroom lecture; twenty-seven trained with a hands-on approach. The volunteers’ performance was evaluated with a written exam andin situassessments of their ability to specify and explain pruning recommendations and make pruning cuts. Training type and covariates (e.g., volunteers’ familiarity with trees, number of branches) influence on volunteers’ performance were investigated.On the assessment of volunteers’ ability to explain pruning recommendations, volunteers who received hands-on training achieved higher mean scores (79%) than volunteers who received classroom training (74%). All volunteers who received hands-on training did not leave a stub when making a reduction cut, but only 70% of volunteers who received classroom training did not leave a stub. Volunteers who received classroom training achieved higher scores on the exam (93%) than volunteers who received hands-on training (85%).Results suggest that with minimal training volunteers successfully learned structural pruning. This is an encouraging finding that may help municipal arborists accomplish more with limited urban forestry budgets.","PeriodicalId":373407,"journal":{"name":"Arboriculture & Urban Forestry","volume":"18 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140710118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
