Summary
This work draws together reports comparing ecosystem service delivery by small, medium and large stature urban trees. This work enables the selection of tree species and stature for provision of four ecosystem services:
- carbon storage
- avoided runoff
- pollution removal
- amenity (CAVAT) value
Research Objectives
This project aimed to inform species selection for urban tree planting programmes by examining ecosystem service provision by different species and size of tree commonly found in UK urban forests.
