In addition to the well-studied positive effects of urban trees, under specific conditions, there are some unwanted side effects that need to be considered. Such negative side effects, such as allergies caused by tree pollen, traffic hazards from falling trees or tree parts or damage from roots or branches in resource supply or waste disposal infrastructures, are termed ecosystem disservices. An ecosystem disservice that is not very often illuminated in the urban context is the presence of poisonous urban trees. This paper provides a spatially explicit view of the distribution of poisonous urban trees in the city of Berlin, relating the spatial distribution of the hazard from this urban ecosystem disservice with the conditions under which it can have the most damaging effect by considering nearby playgrounds and areas with a high population density of children under 5 years old, the most vulnerable group within the urban population."}],"$":{"view":"all","id":"abst0005"},"#name":"abstract-sec"}],"$":{"view":"all","id":"abs0005","class":"author"},"#name":"abstract"}],"$":{"xmlns:ce":true,"xmlns:dm":true,"xmlns:sb":true},"#name":"abstracts"},"pdf":{"urlType":"download","url":"/science/article/pii/S1618866721004672/pdfft?md5=e80e02d0d604c8e5ae87ffdc22db2f1a&pid=1-s2.0-S1618866721004672-main.pdf"},"iss-first":"","vol-first":"67","isThirdParty":false,"issn-primary-unformatted":"16188667","issn-primary-formatted":"1618-8667"},{"pii":"S1618866722002060","journalTitle":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","publicationYear":"2022","volumeSupText":"Volume 74","articleNumber":"127663","pageRange":"127663","trace-token":"AAAAQL38WiyCJeSn3MhPRsMytRdqmqpcDuIW9Uyf42AC0P3p5kx06k6Y0baQL30ont2zYQ0ZU7AnSDrNkkONnhY7YVVAHgoaokjTPGBmU8zch7QJYbEqfw","authors":{"content":[{"#name":"author-group","$":{"id":"ag0005"},"$$":[{"#name":"author","$":{"id":"au0005","author-id":"S1618866722002060-fad903212c57ddb937117f58b04bf591"},"$$":[{"#name":"given-name","_":"Iwona;Department of Integrated Geography, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland;Department of Geography, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany;School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland;Editorial"}]},{"#name":"title","$":{"id":"tit0005"},"_":"Urban transitions towards Nature-based Solutions"}],"floats":[],"footnotes":[],"attachments":[]},"openArchive":false,"openAccess":false,"document-subtype":"edi","content-family":"serial","contentType":"JL","abstract":{},"pdf":{"urlType":"download","url":"/science/article/pii/S1618866722002060/pdfft?md5=f1c2ecd5b9648f9209ec3dff19de34dc&pid=1-s2.0-S1618866722002060-main.pdf"},"iss-first":"","vol-first":"74","isThirdParty":false,"issn-primary-unformatted":"16188667","issn-primary-formatted":"1618-8667"},{"pii":"S1618866722001625","journalTitle":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","publicationYear":"2022","volumeSupText":"Volume 74","articleNumber":"127619","pageRange":"127619","trace-token":"AAAAQL38WiyCJeSn3MhPRsMytRdqmqpcDuIW9Uyf42AC0P3pAmPoy0uvqfyAVQ07Isl1D7hCV4JHRq8uMrqp7Du776A4Lf-4cB9BnSfqHKlonzgWu6X1xQ","authors":{"content":[{"#name":"author-group","$":{"id":"ag0005"},"$$":[{"#name":"author","$":{"id":"au0005","author-id":"S1618866722001625-57202c588c75ccacf2952903d4d12021"},"$$":[{"#name":"given-name","_":"Meredith F.;Monash Art Design and Architecture, Monash University, Sir John Monash Drive, Caulfield, Victoria 3161, Australia;School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Arts, Monash University, Wellington Road, Clayton, Victoria 3800, Australia

摘要

The level of tree species diversity in urban tree populations can have serious implications for urban forest resilience and has a direct impact on ecosystem functioning at the local level. Few studies have measured the relationship between tree species diversity and vulnerability in UK urban forests. This study analysed the species composition, species diversity and the vulnerability to pests and diseases of 10,149 public trees in the London borough of Westminster across three land use types: housing, parks, and highways. Tree species diversity was significantly different across these land use types (Shannon’s diversity index (H) was 2.47 for housing sites, 1.63 for parks and 0.83 for highways) and we found that higher diversity appears to result in reduced vulnerability, evidenced by negative correlations between tree species diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases. A stronger negative correlation was found between vulnerability and species richness than between vulnerability and Gini-Simpson’s diversity index. Our study reinforces the role of biodiversity indices in establishing and monitoring baseline levels of UK urban tree diversity. Our findings may inform future tree planting projects, help to ensure that development does not negatively affect urban tree diversity and inform proactive strategies for urban trees to contribute to wider biodiversity conservation.
