The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program provides this resource update yearly as an overview of forest resources in Ohio. These estimates are derived from field data collected across a systematic network of fixed-radius forest monitoring plots located on both public and private land. New updates are provided annually as a subset of plots within the State are remeasured. Each year, field crews visit and measure a subset of all FIA plots across the entire State (the size of the subset varies by State and year). Combining all the...

Urban forests support wildlife populations across North America and the world. Yet, challenges remain for research and practice to integrate wildlife habitat as a core component of the myriad objectives that urban foresters manage. Ecosystem services have been adopted as a dominant paradigm in urban forestry for both advocacy and management, yet accounting for contributions to wildlife habitat does not fit squarely within typical ecosystem service frameworks. The i-Tree program, a suite of urban forest ecosystem service models and tools developed by the US Forest Service, presented an...

Invasive wood-boring insects pose a major threat to forestry, recreation, and timber industries in the United States, and species such as the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) and redbay ambrosia beetle (Xyleborus glabratus) are already radically altering North American landscapes. The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) (Anoplophora glabripennis) arrived in the United States via solid wood packing materials and continues to pose a massive threat to North American forests.Native to China and the Korean peninsula, ALB attacks more than 22 genera of trees, including maples, elms, poplars,...

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program provides this resource update yearly as an overview of forest resources in Kansas. These estimates are derived from field data collected across a systematic network of fixed-radius forest monitoring plots located on both public and private land. New updates are provided annually as a subset of plots within the State are remeasured. Each year, field crews visit and measure a subset of all FIA plots across the entire State (the size of the subset varies by State and year). Combining all the...

The Urban National Landowner Survey (UNLS) is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program and has the mission of providing information about the ownership, objectives, management, and future plans of people who own trees in urban areas. This report summarizes data collected from private, residential landowners in Houston, TX, from 2019 (n = 209). While normally collected over 5 years, implementation was intensified in Houston to complete data collection in 1 year. Private, residential landowners in Houston believe that...

This article uses a knowledge exchange (KE)-based approach to evaluation to explore the reported experiences of artists, scientists, and land managers participating in the NaturePLACE Program (formerly Urban Field Station [UFS] Arts), focusing on the period 2016–2024. The primary aim of the program is to build understanding of and engagement with urban social-ecological systems through the arts. The approach to this evaluation draws on a range of literature on research in the arts, as well as research and KE impact evaluation from the environmental research domain. The evaluation reported...
