Urban trees and green space provide valuable ecosystem services to urban communities.
Improving the urban forest is central to many strategies that seek to mitigate urban heat, reduce air and water pollution and provide human-nature connections. We seek to co-design our research with local government, industry, and the community so that our research impacts are locally and globally relevant. The measurement and modelling of ecosystem processes in the urban landscape is central to our research method. Driving change in the design and management of urban forests and green space for climate change adaptation and community resilience is our aim.
