Title: Silviculture in the City
Description: Urban forested natural areas are an important component of the tree canopy in cities, but are often overlooked and typically lack formal management frameworks. One approach to addressing this deficiency may be to borrow from traditional forest management frameworks and practices (that is, silviculture). Although urban forested natural areas share similarities with rural forests, the impacts of urbanization on forest stand dynamics may require modification of these methods and in some cases development of novel silvicultural guidelines. In this talk, I will present an urban silviculture framework, the development of the Urban Silviculture Network, and examples of emerging applied-research.
