Urban trees provide numerous values and services to society. Understanding these ecosystem services is critical to guiding forest management to enhance urban forest values for future generations.
The Yale Forest Forum will hold a Modeling Ecosystem Services of Trees in Cities webinar on March 17th from 11:30 am to 12:15 pm
Various models and procedures have been developed and released through i-Tree (www.itreetools.org) to help easily assess urban forest structure and its consequent ecosystem services and values. This presentation by Emeritus Senior Scientist David Nowak from the Forest Service, will discuss how one can use these tools and the modeling process behind the tools that is used to assess and value local urban forest structure, how structure changes, and various ecosystem services.
