This paper explores public preferences for different characteristics of street trees. Where past studies have relied on capturing perceptions of street trees using rating scales for relatively few attributes, we apply best-worst scaling, which is a type of choice experiment, to assess preferences for 16 different tree characteristics. As the method requires trade-offs from respondents, it results in a systematic ranking of the tree characteristics considered, which represent different ecosystem services, physical attributes, and management requirements. We find that capacity to support local biodiversity and drought tolerance are the two characteristics that are most preferred. We also find that having visual appeal, requiring little maintenance, and having native origins are viewed favourably. Tree characteristics seen as less important include the size and growth rate of a tree, along with whether it holds cultural significance. Better understanding preferences for tree characteristics presents an opportunity for environmental managers to integrate tree species with more widely accepted attributes into urban greening programs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 128644"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142816567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this aim, we conducted a systematic literature review of 58 papers, analyzing 1) general information, 2) ES provided by BG, 3) brownfield characteristics, and 4) targeted green spaces.

Habitat and recreational services emerged as the most extensively discussed ES among the various identified ES. While some relationships were identified between brownfield characteristics and the delivery of ES, little research has directly investigated this connection and most studies lacked sufficient information on brownfield characteristics. The five main types of transformed green spaces identified in current research are general 'green space,' 'vegetated brownfield,' 'park,' 'woodland and forest,' and 'protected area'. For integrating BG into urban planning, we found that BG holds potential as a nature-based solution (NBS) towards multiple urban challenges and suggests applying comprehensive, dynamic management, planning and design tools to achieve sustainable BG in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 128642"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This comprehensive study delves into the accessibility to parks and forests across 33 major European cities, employing an interdisciplinary framework drawing from transportation and urban planning methodologies. By analysing accessibility to urban green spaces (UGS) through sustainable modes of transportation, the research aims at unveiling patterns shaped by population density, terrain elevation, city area and transportation infrastructure. Notably, disparities in accessibility emerge both within and between cities, with urban parks, typically nestled in city centres, exhibiting more equitable accessibility compared to forests, often situated on the outskirts. Further results show that the area of UGS, road network density, public transit availability, and elevation gradients influence parks and forests accessibility with different strengths and in different configurations, unveiling the complexity of green space distribution within urban landscapes. Across transportation modes, disparities in accessibility are most pronounced for pedestrians, accentuating the need for targeted interventions to bridge the gaps. The study also emphasizes the significance of discerning qualitative distinctions among diverse green spaces, advocating for tailored strategies in UGS planning. Acknowledging the pivotal role of parks in augmenting UGS accessibility, particularly in densely populated areas and for short-distance journeys, the paper underscores the urgency of fair provision.

Urban forest inequalities and inequities are often attributed to drivers like systemic racism and segregation. However, in recent decades, invasive pests and pathogens have substantially changed urban forests. It is not known how these invasive pests and pathogens act as a driver of urban forest inequalities and inequities. At the western range of Dutch elm disease (<em>Ophiostoma</em> spp.) and emerald ash borer (<em>Agrilus planipennis</em>), we examined how the loss of localized street tree monocultures of elm (<em>Ulmus</em> spp.) and ash (<em>Fraxinus</em> spp.) will result in changes to distributional justice. We examined street tree count and basal area distributions, applying the Gini Index and spatial autoregression to measure inequality and inequity, respectively, under current conditions and hypothetical pest-induced loss scenarios. Findings reveal that DED-related elm losses could improve distributional equality, likely due to the high density of elm in already greener areas, while EAB-related losses of ash could increase inequalities. Street tree losses to both DED and EAB dampen the magnitude of distributional inequities, but the inequities remain present in areas of high residential instability, economic dependency, and ethno-cultural composition. Our results indicate that pest-induced urban forest losses do not merely reduce canopy cover but may reshape distributional equality and equity in ways that align with socioeconomic disparities. This research highlights the need to incorporate principles of environmental justice in pest management approaches and replanting efforts, particularly prioritizing systemically marginalized communities. These findings underscore the critical role of diversity and strategic planning in urban forest resilience, advocating for practices that mitigate the social and ecological impacts of invasive pests and pathogens.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 128671"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142989525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
