Hunting for a larger diversity of urban trees in Western Europe — a case study from the Southern Caucasus
Published: 06 November 2019
Recently an article was published about a study made by SLU together with Tbilisis University och Tbilisi Botanical Garden.
The primary aim of the study was to communicate a method for locating natural habitats where trees grows under conditions that are comparable to those in urban environments in terms of water stress.
A secondary aim was to identify specific ecotypes in the wild demonstrating great potential to handle growing conditions similar to those in urban environments based on inventories of woody plants in the forest reserves.
