The analysis and interpretation of spatial data has become an important aspect of urban forest practice and management. Spatial boundaries divide land into manageable pieces. At the broader scale these may be local government areas, suburbs or wards, and at the smaller scale they may distinguish roads from parks and private lots…

Biodiversity within cities is fundamental for human health and well-being, and delivers a wide range of critical ecosystem services. However, biodiversity is often viewed as an afterthought or final addition once an urban development nears completion. As such, provisions for biodiversity are typically tokenistic and do not achieve the experience of everyday nature that people need…

Neutron moisture meters, NMMs, measure the amount of water in a given volume of soil. The volume of water divided by the total volume of soil is called the volumetric water content, VWC, which we express in various ways, such as m3 of water per m3 of soil, or mm of water per m-depth of soil…

Rapid urban growth poses the global challenge of mitigating urbanization impacts on biodiversity. The amount and spatial arrangement of vegetation could help managers and urban planners improve habitat conditions for fauna; however, whether aggregated patterns of trees and shrubs promote greater diversity of wildlife in urban areas remains poorly understood…
