Urban and Peri Forest

Bol

The roles of urban forests in mitigating the local climate and in providing a wide range of ecosystem services depend on their condition, spatial characteristics, management, and ability to adapt to global change drivers, such as more frequent extreme climate events, changes in atmospheric pollutants, and anthropogenic pressures. Different drivers could play a synergistic, antagonistic, or predisposing role in affecting the functioning and health of urban forest ecosystems. The Special Issue aims to present recent results and achievements in research related to the status of peri-urban and urban forests, their responses to global climate change and different anthropogenic impacts, ecosystem service provisioning, and the implementation of nature-based solutions to promote mutual synergies in fulfilling the urgent need for evidence-based solutions to policy-related, societal, and technological challenges.
