In this Wednesday episode of Talking Trees, we explore how thoughtful tree species selection is essential for building resilient green infrastructure in cities facing climate change, soil limitations, and urban stressors.We discuss:Why tree selection should be based on site-specific conditions, including soil compaction, heat exposure, and rooting spaceTools and frameworks for choosing species, including guides that rate trees by drought tolerance, flood resilience, and ecosystem service potentialThe importance of species diversity to reduce vulnerability to pests, diseases, and environmental extremesLessons from trees thriving in natural habitats and how they can inform urban planting strategiesHow properly chosen trees can enhance urban cooling, air quality, stormwater management, and long-term canopy coverSpecies selection isn't just a design decision—it's a foundational step in ensuring that urban trees survive, thrive, and serve.Background information:Sjoman Thesis_608183940.pdftdag_treespeciesguidev1.3.pdfSend us a textSupport the showBuzzsprout free episodes without subscription all episodes with subscription https://talkingtrees.arboristika.cz/ HeroHero all episodes with subscription https://herohero.co/talkingtrees Arboricultural academy https://arboristickaakademie.cz Podcast is created using AI tools.
