Effects of urban tree pruning on ecosystem services performance

Desirée Muscas, Fabio Orlandi, Roberto Petrucci, Chiara Proietti et autres

Pruning represents the main tree care activity in cities, where it is carried out to reduce wind-break risk, to ensure road visibility, to reduce infrastructure interactions and damages, and last but not least, for aesthetic reasons. However, pruning is also proven to …

Tree growth rate under urban limiting conditions

Desirée Muscas, Marco Fornaciari, Chiara Proietti, Luigia Ruga et autres

Abstract The benefits of green areas mostly depend on the trees’ dimension, which in the urban environment is not as predictable as it is in woodland. Growth models based on tree height and tree diameter at breast height have been largely employed …

Tree responses and temperature requirements in two central Italy phenological gardens

Marco Fornaciari, Silvia Marrapodi, Luigia Ruga, Chiara Proietti et autres

Plants have always been able to adapt to climate change by reacting through various responses, mainly at the phenological level. The aim of this work is to investigate the behavior of specific tree species located in two phenological gardens in central Italy …
