Results of a Literature Review-Cost of not maintaining Trees
Summary
Existing urban forest
literature is strongest in its quantification and qualification of the benefits
and care of trees, and not in its ability to assess the results of lack of
investment in trees. This talk presents the results of a literature review on the costs, commissioned by the ISA Science and Research
Committee.
We will discuss insights gained from literature in four main topic
areas: biological aspects of tree care, management/institutional aspects of
tree care, economic aspects of tree care, and, finally, lessons from outside
the field of arboriculture and urban forestry.
