Science of Arboriculture episodes
- Impacts of Elevated CO2 Levels on Urban TreesDr. Zhu Ning discusses a recent study on the effects of elevated carbon dioxide levels on urban trees. Listen to this episode of Science of Arboriculture to learn more about the physiological processes of photosynthesis, transpiration, and stomatal conductance in Southern red oak and red maple.0 min
- Caring for your Body as an AthleteArborists are industrial athletes, challenged every day to keep their bodies operating at peak performance to do their job. Amanda Carpenter and Jessica Skiera discuss how nutrition, hydration, and sleep can help or impair an arborist’s performance.0 min
- Wind Resistance of Damaged PinusAlessandro Pestalozza was inspired to study the effects a previous branch failure has on its wind resistance after a fatal injury occurred on a busy street in Italy. Learn about how tree fibers respond to the extreme tension exerted by static pull tests in this effort to make our urban forest a safer place.0 min
- Evaluating Canopy Distribution and ChangeTree canopy assessments provide a better understanding of the urban forest than conducting an inventory, because these assessments include trees on private property. Ruth Williams discusses the change of canopy cover in Portland, Oregon, based on the results of her 10-year canopy study.0 min
- New Approaches to Vegetation Management ProcessesHenry King discusses the principles of effective project management as a vegetation management contractor. Learn how to communicate across disciplines and execute a plan.0 min
- Compaction and Remediation of Urban DirtBryant Scharenbroch discusses the effects of compaction to top-soil in urban development, and potential remediation options. Learn about the study he conducted to determine what common practices improve the quality of urban soils.0 min
- The Value of Trees During Climate ChangeGregory Moore discusses the economic value of shade trees in the urban forest. Learn about the role of trees in the heat island effect and how the loss of tree cover affects public open spaces.0 min
- Biomechanics and Dynamics in Trees: Tree Stability AssessmentKen James explains his study on the effects of wind loads on both urban and forest-grown trees. Learn how branches affect the movement of trees during heavy wind loads, and how pruning decisions affect urban trees.0 min
- Visual Tree Assessment (VTA) for Electricity ReliabilityMatthew Palmer explains how visual tree assessment (VTA) has impacted utility network performance at Energex. Learn how to apply the visual tree assessment method and prioritize maintenance for utility networks, on this episode of Science of Arboriculture.0 min
- Government and Utilities Limiting Liability due to WildfiresLearn how the electric power line company and forest service in the province of Alberta, Canada, successfully reduced the frequency and severity of forest fires on this episode of Science of Arboriculture.0 min
