Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common.
