Tolerant and avoiders in an urban landscape: anuran species richness and functional groups responses in the Yungas’ forest of NW Argentina
(Springer, 2021-02)
Urbanization is one of the most important causes of ecological changes and biodiversity loss worldwide, and forests in Latin America provide valuable scenarios to understand the ecological effects of this human-driven ...
Community leader perceptions and attitudes toward coastal urban forests and hurricanes in Florida
We compared perceptions and attitudes toward urban forests among community leaders in two different urbanizing areas, hurricane-prone Hillsborough and Broward Counties, Florida. Homeowner association leader responses ...
Physical attributes of the soil of urban forests as environmental indicators of environmental degradation

Impacts of urban forests on offsetting carbon emissions from industrial energy use in Hangzhou, China
This study quantified carbon storage and sequestration by urban forests and carbon emissions from energy consumption by several industrial sources in Hangzhou, China. Carbon (C) storage and sequestration were quantified ...
Analyzing the causal factors of carbon stores in a subtropical urban forest
Studies of forests and urban forest ecosystems have documented the various biophysical and socioeconomic correlates of carbon storage. Tree cover in particular is often used as a determinant of carbon storage for local and ...
