Abhijith,Deepti Adlakha,Aonghus McNabola,Thomas Astell-Burt,Xiaoqi Feng,Anne C. Skeldon,Simon de Lusignan,Lidia Morawska +18 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that urban vegetation can facilitate broad health benefits, but there is little empirical evidence linking these benefits to air pollution reduction by urban vegetation, and appreciable efforts are needed to establish the underlying policies, design and engineering guidelines governing its deployment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theodore S. Eisenman,Galina Churkina,Sunit Jariwala,Prashanth Kumar,Gina S. Lovasi,Diane E. Pataki,Kate R. Weinberger,Thomas H. Whitlow +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an interdisciplinary review on urban trees, air quality, and asthma is presented, concluding that there is no scientific consensus that urban trees reduce asthma by improving air quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond 'trees are good': Disservices, management costs, and tradeoffs in urban forestry.
Lara A. Roman,Tenley M. Conway,Theodore S. Eisenman,Andrew K. Koeser,Camilo Ordóñez Barona,Dexter H. Locke,G. Darrel Jenerette,Johan Östberg,Jess Vogt +8 more
TL;DR: Recent research on ecosystem disservices of urban trees, including infrastructure conflicts, health and safety impacts, aesthetic issues, and environmentally detrimental consequences, as well as management costs related to ecological disturbances and risk management are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frederick Law Olmsted, Green Infrastructure, and the Evolving City:
TL;DR: In this article, the authors frame three aspects of Olmsted's work within contemporary green infrastructure theory and practice: ecosystem services and human well-being; environmental restoration; and comprehensive planning.
