Earth and Space News: Neighborhood-Scale Urban Forest Scenarios Aid Vancouver, Canada 2050

Summary: Neighborhood-scale urban forest scenarios aid Vancouver, Canada 2050, according to an article in the January 2024 issue of Arboriculture & Urban Forestry.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

Hollow Tree abides in 405-hectare (1,001-acre) Stanley Park in the northwestern half of Vancouver’s Downtown peninsula. Maybe the 136-year-old public park, with its perhaps 1,000-year-old Western red cedar (Thuja plicata), achieves for the southeasterly neighborhoods of Coal Harbour and West End the third criteria in Cecil Konijnendijk’s 3-30-300 rule for minimum green space and urban trees in urban-densifying cities. The Nature Based Solutions Institute Director minimally advises 3 trees within sight of each home, school, workplace; 30 percent tree canopy in each neighborhood; and 300 meters (984.252 feet) from each home to the nearest green space or park. Mature neighborhoods in large- and old-tree forested western Vancouver affirm higher canopy cover than poor-quality, shallow-soiled eastern Vancouver. Private land, public streets and such civic property as forested, large, select parks afford Vancouver respective tree canopy covers at 37, 35, 28 percent; ca. 1925 Gowan Sutton Company Ltd. image of elephant standing partially inside the Hollow Tree and using trunk to lift woman off the ground, entitled "A big visitor to the big tree in Stanley Park, Vancouver BC," in Fred Thirkell and Bob Scallion, Frank Gowen's Vancouver, 1914–1931 (2001; Plate 05, page 21): Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Four modeled neighborhood-scale urban forest scenarios aid Vancouver, Canada 2050, according to an article co-authored by five University of British Columbia researchers for the January 2024 issue of Arboriculture & Urban Forestry.

Agatha Czekajlo and Sara Barron, Zhaohua Cheng, Cynthia Girling and Lorien Nesbitt bare their city’s canopy cover at about 22 percent, of which 37 percent private-parceled. Private-parceled tree-canopy cover comprises a large land base more than extensive tree coverage even as civic-property and forested-park tree-canopy cover respectively contribute 28 and 35 percent. A 2050 city canopy-cover target of 30 percent, at 8 percent beyond the 2020 level, demands housing- and land-tailored, and priority- and underserved-neighborhood street-tree density-doubled, targets.

The current 2020 spatial-proxy model and the study-modeled neighborhood-scale urban-forest scenarios entail low-income neighborhoods with low-canopy cover, under 10 percent, and population-increase expectations of 30-plus percent.

Aged-tree replacement; coniferous-deciduous proportions; genus-and species-diversity proportions; large 15-plus-meter, medium 10- to 15-meter, small sub-10-meter size proportions; private-parcel tree locations; private-public planting rates furnished future-scenario designs.

Existing-species list and city-planting goals; the latter and climate-adapted species; the latter and building-shaded deciduous; the former building-shaded and greenspace-garnished private-parceled trees respectively guide scenarios 1-4. Baseline and four scenarios respectively heed mortality-honed tree-canopy loss by location-based mortality rates, parcel development and climate-adaptable, climate-sized species; and location policy change-adjusted tree-survival, tree-health condition. Scenarios 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively invoke street-, park/civic-, private-located annual mortality rates of 2.6, 2.1, 2.1, 1.6; 2.2, 1.7, 1.7, 1.2; 4.6, 4.1, 4.1, 3.6%.

Four neighborhood-scale urban forest scenarios respectively jubilate street-, park/civic-, private-located aged-out trees as totaling 1,389, 1,197, 1,197, 976; 203, 168, 168, 124; 853, 805, 805, 753.

Vancouver, Canada 2050 four neighborhood-scale urban forest scenarios respectively kindle 1,512, 1,512, 1,153, 3,288 street-; 340, 340, 340, 1,043 park/civic-; 4,227, 4,227, 4,227, 7,395 private-tree additions.

The dominant location of trees changed from streets in the baseline to private parcels in all future scenarios. The maximum canopy cover achieved across all future scenarios logged in at 16 percent. Mature trees being replaced by small trees made it so that substantial canopy loss manifested itself even as all the models managed to replace aged-out trees. Scenario-1 tree height at minus 39%, crown radius at minus 35% and canopy volume at minus 86% numbered as largest-decreasing volume between aged-out and replacement trees.

The Vancouver, Canada 2050 neighborhood-scale urban forest scenarios offer as takeaway the significance of community engagement to occasion street, park/civic, especially private-parceled tree planting and management.

Vancouver, Canada 2050 four neighborhood-scale urban forest scenarios possessed their most progressive model in scenario 4 even as the latter never performed to 30% neighborhood-canopy cover.

Baseline-scenario Cedrus deodora, Cuprocyparis leylandii, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Gleditsia triacanthos, Pinus nigra; Fraxinus ornus, Pyrus calleryana, Sorbus aria; Cercis canadensis, Ficus carica, Pinus mugo queue large-/medium-/small-sized climate-suitablest. The Vancouver study recognized baseline-scenario genus and species, apart 1 street-, 4 park/civic-, 34 private-apple (Malus spp), 15 street-, 126 private-plum (Prunus spp) deciduous, small-sized trees. Baseline and Vancouver, Canada 2050 scenarios 1, 2-3, 4 shelter 104/3%, 367/4%, 359/4%, 479/3% large-street; 85/2%, 266/3%, 181/2%, 394/2% large-park/civic; 207/5%, 69/1%, 75/1%, 113/1% large-private conifers.

Scenarios 1, 2-3, 4 tallied 672/6%, 786/8%, 906/6%; 1,038/10%, 970/10%, 835/5%; 2,751/27%, 2,803/27%, 4,084/26% small-existing/small-replacement/small-addition, 579/6%, 691/7%, 824/5%; 1,070/10%, 953/9%, 772/5%; 2,842/28%, 2,842/28%, 6,117/39% medium-existing/medium-replacement/medium-addition trees.

Vancouver afforested from 1967 to 1987 its main landfill, the Kerr Road dump (1944-1967), into the Everett Crowley Park. The 38.08-hectare (94.097729-acre) public park agonized under such invasives as Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) until 2010, with the latter area alleviated of the biennial-stemmed perennials for more alluring tree plantings. The fifth-largest park, anchored in southeast Vancouver and anchoring ample forested areas alike to Stanley Park, applauds in its naming Everett Crowley (June 3, 1909-Nov. 25, 1984), first owner of Avalon Dairy, Vancouver’s last independent dairy, and Vancouver Parks Commissioner (1961-1966) even as Stanley Park applauds Frederick Arthur Stanley, 16th Earl of Derby (Jan. 15, 1841-June 14, 1908); Friday, April 6, 2007, 14:41, image of Avalon Dairy Ltd, "Vancouver & B.C.'s oldest continuously operated dairy.
