Australia's changing urban tree estate: a socio-ecological study of patterns, causes and consequences

该项目将极大地促进对澳大利亚城市树木地产变化的模式、原因和后果的社会和环境理解，因此与大多数澳大利亚人的家庭环境直接相关。这些知识将直接有利于研究人员、规划者、土地管理者和居民提高澳大利亚城市的可持续性。特别是，更明智的决策将有助于保持澳大利亚的生物多样性，减轻当地和全球气候变化的影响，管理火灾风险，有助于节约用水，改善空气质量，增强环境舒适度，减少与树木有关的社会冲突，增强地方感。

The project will significantly advance social and environmental understanding of the patterns, causes and consequences of changes in the Australian urban tree estate, therefore having immediate relevance to the home-environment of the majority of Australians. This knowledge will be of direct benefit to researchers, planners, land managers and residents in improving the sustainability of Australian cities. In particular, better informed decisions about the urban tree estate will help to maintain Australia's biodiversity, mitigate local and global climate change effects, manage fire risk, contribute to water conservation, improve air quality, enhance environmental amenity, reduce tree-related social conflict and enhance sense of place.
