Satisfaction with urban trees associates with tree canopy cover and tree visibility around the home
npj Urban Sustainability, 2023 Many world cities want to expand the number of urban trees. How this expansion occurs should consider what people expect from trees based on how they experience and perceive these trees.

The role of urban trees in reducing land surface temperatures in European cities
Nature Communications, 2021 Urban trees influence temperatures in cities. However, their effectiveness at mitigating urban heat in different climatic contexts and in comparison to treeless urban green spaces has not yet been sufficiently explored.

Heat Mitigation Benefits of Urban Trees: A Review of Mechanisms, Modeling, Validation and Simulation
Forests, 2023 Modeling, validating, and simulating are three essential parts in investigating the heat mitigation benefits of urban trees (BUT). Therefore, 81 relevant studies from the last ten years are reviewed, analyzed, and summarized in this study.

Global assessment of urban trees’ cooling efficiency based on satellite observations
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Trees are among the most important urban land covers, and their effects on local thermal environments have been extensively evaluated by using the concept of urban trees’ cooling efficiency (CE), defined as the magnitude of land surface temperature (LST)

Above-ground biomass references for urban trees from terrestrial laser scanning data
Annals of Botany, 2021 Background and Aims Within extending urban areas, trees serve a multitude of functions (e.g. carbon storage, suppression of air pollution, mitigation of the ‘heat island’ effect, oxygen, shade and recreation).

The politics of urban trees: Tree planting is associated with gentrification in Portland, Oregon.
Forest Policy and Economics, 2021 This study evaluated the hypothesis that urban-tree planting increases neighborhood gentrification in Portland, Oregon. We defined gentrification as an increase in the median sales price of single-family homes in a Census tract compared to other tracts ...

, 2021 The biomass represented by urban trees is important for urban decision-makers, green space planners, and managers seeking to optimize urban ecosystem services. Carbon storage by urban trees is one of these services.
