Global climate change concerns have increased the need for multiple mitigation scenarios to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Strategic management of urban forests at different times and levels (e.g. nursery and landscape) can contribute to CO2 sequestration over time. Sustainable urban forests can therefore indirectly slow down the effects of climate change, emphasizing the need for increased research on different aspects of urban forest management.

520 $a Global climate change concerns have increased the need for multiple mitigation scenarios to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Strategic management of urban forests at different times and levels (e.g. nursery and landscape) can contribute to CO2 sequestration over time. Sustainable urban forests can therefore indirectly slow down the effects of climate change, emphasizing the need for increased research on different aspects of urban forest management.
520 $a The goal of this multidisciplinary research was to investigate the patterns of carbon sequestration in urban forests in response to management practices at different levels over time. I investigated patterns of carbon storage and sequestration of urban street trees in the City of Wooster, Ohio, in response to tree planting and removal practices. Municipally owned street trees in Wooster acted as net sinks of atmospheric CO2 in 2010, as they increased rates of carbon storage and sequestration by 3% over 2009 in a city wide basis. The assessment of the economic value of environmental benefits provided by Wooster's street trees, including carbon storage and sequestration, energy conservation, stormwater remediation, air pollution removal, and aesthetic/other benefits exceeded $270,000 USD in 2010.
520 $a I also investigated the effects of nursery production practices on resource allocation, carbon sequestration, physiological tree and insect responses of common urban shade trees, both in the nursery and after they were planted in the urban forest. Specifically, the effects of imidacloprid and fertilization regimes on growth, biomass allocation, and gas exchange responses of hybrid elm (Ulmus x 'Homestead') and river birch (Betula nigra) were quantified while growing in the nursery. Overall, a positive trend towards greater growth and biomass allocation was observed for hybrid elm and river birch when treated with imidacloprid, but the effects were not significant, nor were thus gas exchange parameters. Fertilization impacted above- and below-ground growth of both tree species; as fertility rate increased, so did tree growth but percent root mass declined. However, net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were less affected.
520 $a Finally, the effects of nursery production practices on subsequent establishment, growth, carbon sequestration, insect resistance, and herbivory were determined on hybrid elm and river birch after transplanting to right-of-ways of urban streets in the City of Wooster. Tree establishment was affected by nursery production practices in the nursery. Three consecutive imidacloprid applications (one at the nursery and one in the urban environments per year) increased growth and carbon sequestered of hybrid elms by 30%. The growth-enhancing effects of imidacloprid were species specific. Insect herbivory levels during the establishment period were low and did not explain the increased growth of treated hybrid elms in urban environments. The effects of fertilization in the nursery influenced tree growth and herbivory only one year post transplant in the urban environment. Lastly, implications on management practices are discussed.
