2018 journal article

Urban forest fragments buffer trees from warming and pests

SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 658, 1523–1530.

By: L. Long n, V. D'Amico * & S. Frank n 

author keywords: Forest fragments; Herbivory; Trees; Urban heat island effect; Warming; Scale insects
MeSH headings : Acer / growth & development; Acer / physiology; Animals; Cities; Climate Change; Food Chain; Forests; Global Warming; Hemiptera / physiology; Herbivory; Hot Temperature; North Carolina; Population Dynamics; Trees / growth & development; Trees / physiology; Urbanization
TL;DR: First, trees growing in urban forest fragments are buffered from a chronic urban tree pest due to lower temperatures, and second, temperature-driven differences in M. tenebricosa density which the authors saw in Raleigh could predict future density of the pest in higher latitude cities as the climate warms.
