SLU researcher Henrik Sjöman has together with his British colleague Andrew Hirons published an article in The Royal Horticultural Society's journal The Plant Review (formerly known as The Plantsman) about their research on trees for urban environments.
In the article they urges the need to find ways to measure how urban trees might cope with an uncertain future.
”We must strategically diversify our urban forests with species that have an appropriate degree of stress tolerance for future conditions. We must also strategically diversity to mitigate the threat posed by a variety of pests and pathogens. The future resilience of our urban forests, parks and gardens depends on it", they write.
