The Ecology of Trees in the Urban Forest

The ecology of trees in the urban forest explores how trees interact with their city environment and other living things. Urban trees adapt to challenges like pollution, limited root space, and heat from buildings and pavement. They provide essential benefits such as improving air quality, reducing temperatures, supporting wildlife, and enhancing community well-being. Understanding these relationships helps us care for urban trees better, ensuring they thrive amid human development and continue to contribute to healthier, more livable cities.
