SUMMARY:Facilitando la selección de especies de árboles urbanos en un clima cambiante: desarrollo de una aplicación web / Facilitating urban trees species selection under a changing climate: web software development
DESCRIPTION:Presentamos una aplicación de desarrollo web para facilitar la selección de especies arbóreas para proyectos urbanos. Consideramos una decisión multicriterio que incluye las condiciones de la infraestructura\, las condiciones del sitio\, la estética y el clima. También consideramos no sólo la adecuación a la condición climática actual\, sino también la adecuación a la condición climática futura. Las variables que intervienen en la aplicación fueron validadas por múltiples partes interesadas\, incluidos los agentes públicos y privados que trabajan con la vegetación urbana. Esperamos que esta herramienta mejore el desempeño de los árboles en las zonas urbanas\, dado que también puede informar a los no expertos de una mejor toma de decisiones sobre los árboles urbanos. / We are introducing a web development software for facilitating tree species selection for urban projects. We consider a multicriteria decision involving infrastructure conditions\, site conditions\, aesthetics and climate. We also consider not only present climate appropriateness but also future climate pertinence. The variables involved in the software were validated by multiple stakeholders including private and public actors working with urban vegetation. We expect this tool to improve the performance of trees in urban areas given that it can also inform not expert of better urban trees decision making.  \n\n\n\nTime Length of Presentation: 30 minutes \n\n\n\nPresenter Name: Dra. Cynnamon Dobbs

SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD)
DESCRIPTION:Thousand cankers disease is caused by the fungus Geosmithia morbida\, and this pathogen is transmitted by the walnut twig beetle\, Pityophthorus juglandis.  This disease impacts black walnut and\, until 2010\, was only found west of the Mississippi River.  The disease gets its name from the many tiny black cankers caused by the fungus growing in the phloem.  This fungus is brought in by walnut twig beetles\, which bore into the tree and create galleries.  In addition to the cankers and tiny beetle entrance holes\, infected trees also exhibit yellow foliage\, wilting\, and eventual branch mortality.  One beetle and canker will not kill the tree\, but mass attacks by beetles can result in thousands of little cankers that eventually coalesce and girdle the tree.  There are no known control or management options for thousand cankers disease.  Care should be taken to prevent the spread of the disease by buying local firewood\, or wood from which you know the source\, and watching for symptoms in existing trees. In this webinar\, Dr. Matthew Ginzel (Purdue) will provide an update on TCD distribution\, impacts\, and preventative management strategies. \n\n\n\nNo advanced registration required.

SUMMARY:Free Urban Forest Connections Webinar: Urban Trees and Stormwater Management: Quantifying Impacts\, Maximizing Benefits
DESCRIPTION:Stormwater managers and urban foresters share a growing recognition that urban trees play an important role in controlling urban stormwater runoff.  In this webinar\, Dr. Trisha Moore (Kansas State University)and Eric Kuehler (Nashville Metro Water Services) aim to address some very practical questions related to the role of trees in stormwater management\, including: How can we quantity potential runoff reductions by trees in urban environments? What effect do trees have on runoff quality? How can urban forests be managed to maximize stormwater benefits? Trisha will share tools for quantifying the runoff quantity and quality of urban trees developed in collaboration with the Water Research Foundation. Then\, Eric will discuss some useful rules of thumb for urban trees and stormwater mitigation found in the Forest Service publication “Urban Forest Systems and Green Stormwater Infrastructure.“ He will demonstrate how these measures are being used by Nashville Metro Water Services to help quantify stormwater benefits.

SUMMARY:Free Webinar: The Influence of Municipal Pruning Practices on Urban Forest Health and Storm Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Municipalities across the U.S. are increasingly challenged to fund and perform systematic tree pruning activities that enhance urban tree health and longevity\, maximize ecosystem service benefits\, improve climate and storm resilience\, and minimize public risk. Only (46%) of 667 U.S. communities surveyed in 2014 reported completing tree pruning on a systematic basis. Dr. Richard Hauer will share the benefits of systematic pruning and the status of pruning in U.S. cities. Dr. Leslie Brandt will spotlight tree maintenance practices\, innovations and challenges from 10 case studies in the U.S. Through analysis of decades of systematic pruning data in Milwaukee\, Randy Krouse will demonstrate the importance of pruning cycle/forest structure alignment on forest health and resilience\, tree maintenance capacity\, storm resilience and public safety. Finally\, Paul Johnson will wrap up the discussion by highlighting current and emergent resource aids for improved urban forest management. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is open to all. We are seeking 1 CEU with the International Society of Arboriculture.
