David, born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, studied geography at the University of Windsor and after graduating in 1967, began working at the Meteorological Branch of Transport Canada — conducting research on the Great Lakes in Toronto. The work involved using climatological data to answer the questions of the users about climatic records: farmers asking for frost-free seasons or temperature trend, urban planners assessing the location for an airport or climatology the wind for tall-buildings and more general public queries.

David produced reports, eventually published, including an article about a Climatic Severity Index, ranking of 150 locations in Canada for their most extreme weather. After the article was cited by Southam News in the 1980s, Phillips was asked to go on television to respond. He has since become the spokesman for Environment Canada Meteorological Service.

David received the Patterson Medal for Distinguished Service to Meteorology in Canada, two Public Service Merit Awards, honorary doctorates from the University of Waterloo and Nipissing University, and the Order of Canada. He has authored The Climates Of Canada, Blame It On The Weather and The Day Niagara Falls Ran Dry and created The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar.

Most climate action planning in the recent past has focused on densification, green buildings, renewable energy, and transit. Urban greening has only recently been included in climate action to combat urban heat island effects and increasing numbers of extreme heat days in summers, which will impact human health and livability. Many cities are now including urban greening/tree planting in conjunction with climate action planning. However urban greening may conflict with strategies such as densification.

This presentation reports on a project that evaluates where and how much trees can contribute to climate mitigation (reduced energy use by buildings) and adaptation (outdoor shading) to maintain livability in increasingly dense neighbourhoods. We modelled four different future what-if scenarios for increasing the tree canopy cover and volume in a densifying neighbourhood in Vancouver to 2050. The scenarios included: maintaining existing municipal urban forestry policies with and without climate-adapted trees; strategically planting trees to reduce building energy; maximizing tree planting across the neighbourhood. We will present preliminary results including: visualized maps and data about where, what, and how many trees were “planted” in four different scenarios and how much trees decreased heating/cooling of buildings and street-level outdoor summer temperatures. We conclude with some observations about where and how two strategies for climate action- urban densification and urban greening- may conflict.

Many initiatives are characterized by ambitious targets based on the numbers of trees planted, but lack of clear objectives for planting, inappropriate species and sites selection, and inadequate post-planting management hamper the success of these initiatives. In this work, we propose four recommendations for practice that can help improve the success of tree planting initiatives by ensuring that the right types of trees are planted where they are needed most and where they will have the greatest impact.
Furthermore, we propose a spatially explicit approach for cities to determine these priority locations to achieve the greatest returns on specific benefits. Criteria for prioritization were developed in tandem with the City of Joliette, Canada, and based on nine indicators: surface temperature, tree density, vegetation cover, resilience, tree size and age, presence of species at risk, land use type, socioeconomic deprivation, and potential for active transportation. The resulting tree planting priority maps can be used to target street tree plantings to locations where trees are needed most. This approach can be readily applied to other cities as these criteria can be adjusted to accommodate specific tree canopy goals and planning constraints. As cities are looking to expand tree canopy, we hope this work will assist in sustaining and growing their urban forest, enabling it to be more resilient and to keep providing multiple and sustained benefits where they are needed the most.","DocumentFormatType":4,"Url":null,"DocumentTypeId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","Name":"Abstract/Abstrait","Order":0,"IsDocument":false,"IsLink":false,"IsHtml":true,"IconClass":null}],"StartTime":null,"EndTime":null,"KeywordIds":["11c7ab25-56b7-dcba-e1fb-39ffac636cc0","6b9d58db-96ba-d15c-bd6a-39ffac636cc0","774f4598-156c-5444-d978-39ffac636cc0","6da8a2e9-f2ad-a13e-fe24-39ffac636cc0"],"SocialMedia":{"_twitterHandle":null,"_facebookUrl":null,"_linkedInUrl":null,"_youTubeUrl":null,"_pinterestUrl":null,"_instagramUrl":null,"GooglePlusUrl":null,"TwitterHandle":null,"FacebookUrl":null,"LinkedInUrl":null,"YouTubeUrl":null,"PinterestUrl":null,"InstagramUrl":null,"FullGooglePlusUrl":"","FullTwitterHandle":"","FullFacebookUrl":"","FullLinkedInUrl":"","FullYouTubeUrl":"","FullPinterestUrl":"","FullInstagramUrl":"","EmptyLinksCount":7},"SocialMediaLinks":[],"Bio":null,"Presentations":[],"DisplayName":"Prof. Alain Paquette","TimeDisplay":null},{"ContactId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","PresenationTitle":"The importance of conserving natural forests in and around cities to build social-ecological resilience","PresentationBio":"Tahia Devisscher is currently studying the extent to which forests in and around cities increase social-ecological resilience, and how to strengthen ways in which urbanites connect with nature.

As urban areas continue to grow, pressure on land intensifies and cities struggle to conserve their natural forest and biodiversity. At the same time, cities are becoming increasingly vulnerable to multiple risks caused by urbanization and climate change interactions. Urban forests have an important role to play in building healthier and more resilient cities, yet little work has been done to measure the effects of urbanization on the multiple, essential ecosystem services (ESs) these forests provide for urban resilience. There is also a need to better understand how urbanites engage with the urban forest in the context of climate change, and how they perceive the benefits these forests provide. This study will show results of research conducted along an urban-rural gradient in the City of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, selected due to its very rapid expansion into surrounding forests. Structure, composition, and ecosystem services deemed important for urban resilience were evaluated in forest plots along the gradient. Urban residents were engaged along the gradient to evaluate their interaction with and perceptions of the urban forest. Methods and insights generated with this study are of great value for cities in Canada experiencing rapid growth. Findings will be used by Maple Ridge to inform land policies, and the conservation of forest areas that play a key role in the resilience and sustainability of the city.

These spaces will also likely become increasingly important for urban climate resilience. Data is an important component of effective green space management - for understanding the ecology, structure, and characteristics of these landscapes, in addition to the ecosystem services that they might provide to diverse residents. Digital technologies and platforms bolstered by increased connectivity and computing capacity have the potential to help collect this data more widely and efficiently.

Accordingly, we flew a low-cost consumer unmanned aerial vehicle (DJI Mavic 2 Pro), or UAV, across 27 public neighbourhood parks in Metro Vancouver to test flight parameters and techniques for remotely sensing forest structure and green space characteristics, including tree and crown size, type, and canopy and green cover at high spatial resolution. Beyond summarizing these findings, we present ways in which these data can help quantify climate-related benefits such as shade provisioning. We also propose other applications for UAV data and imagery, such as community engagement and urban park design.

This presentation will be of interest to practitioners and researchers interested in affordable remote-sensing tools that can complement (and supplement) more widely-used data sources (e.g. satellites, LiDAR) in the context of urban forest management.

Indeed, most UF of northeastern North America are dominated by only a few species. For example, in Montreal, Laval and Quebec cities, two genera are dominant: Acer and Fraxinus.

There is an urgent need to improve the resilience of UF to global changes by increasing the functional diversity of the canopy with strategic selection of tree species for plantation. Tree species with different traits will have different responses to threats and stresses. A resilient UF will maintain the production of ecosystem services despite the arrival of a new insect or exotic disease, a drought, a frost event or other stress event.

In collaboration with students in computer science, the aim of our project is to develop a new intelligent tool, SylvCiT, to guide UF managers in their planning of tree plantation. Based on inventories of georeferenced urban trees, the tool analyses species diversity, functional diversity and forest structure at different scales (city, neighborhood, park, street). SylvCiT then provides recommendations on a selection of tree species to plant to increase the functional diversity of the UF.

These suggestions also take into consideration the tree species' vulnerability to biotic and abiotic threats (e.g. insects, pathogens, drought, flood, ice storms, wind storms). Future climate conditions will soon be included to further guide species recommendations.","DocumentFormatType":4,"Url":null,"DocumentTypeId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","Name":"Abstract/Abstrait","Order":0,"IsDocument":false,"IsLink":false,"IsHtml":true,"IconClass":null}],"StartTime":null,"EndTime":null,"KeywordIds":["55cf48cd-30f9-b416-2cf2-39ffac636cc0"],"SocialMedia":{"_twitterHandle":null,"_facebookUrl":null,"_linkedInUrl":null,"_youTubeUrl":null,"_pinterestUrl":null,"_instagramUrl":null,"GooglePlusUrl":null,"TwitterHandle":null,"FacebookUrl":null,"LinkedInUrl":null,"YouTubeUrl":null,"PinterestUrl":null,"InstagramUrl":null,"FullGooglePlusUrl":"","FullTwitterHandle":"","FullFacebookUrl":"","FullLinkedInUrl":"","FullYouTubeUrl":"","FullPinterestUrl":"","FullInstagramUrl":"","EmptyLinksCount":7},"SocialMediaLinks":[],"Bio":null,"Presentations":[],"DisplayName":"Dr. Annick St-Denis","TimeDisplay":null}],"Chairpersons":[],"Sponsors":[],"TrackHeadings":[{"Id":"34d99cec-1681-43e6-907e-576f7856b778","EventId":"fd442432-3182-4622-9923-068887f41790","Name":"Track 1","UniqueCode":null,"Date":"2022-10-03T00:00:00+00:00","Track":1,"Bold":true,"TextColor":"#FFFFFF","BackgroundColor":"#FFFFFF"}],"Keywords":[],"TimeZoneId":"Atlantic Standard Time","HasExtraDetails":true,"MergedSessionId":"fc3e598a-0485-4536-9119-7a6ccc8b5a1e","StartTimeString":"1:30 PM","EndTimeString":"3:00 PM","StartToEndTimeString":"Parallel Session #1

Many municipalities are looking to urban forests for mitigation and adaptation benefits such as carbon storage, rainwater interception, and cooling. And yet, municipalities are struggling to effectively retain and replace healthy trees and soils in urban areas. For example, global forest cover data indicates more than 90% of municipalities in British Columbia had a net loss of canopy between 2000 and 2016.

Rapidly growing urban populations make climate adaptation solutions imperative for cities and nature-based solutions could become a cornerstone of adaptation. Unfortunately, opportunities for tree and soil retention and replacement with development are being lost because policies are missing or misaligned. Arborists and environmental planners are usually in the role of advocating for the urban forest on development projects. However, it is also the developer, architect, engineer, planner, builder and landscape architect who must collaborate to successfully incorporate trees and soils into development projects. With the urban forest occupying premium real estate, regulation is necessary to mandate the preservation or replacement of the urban forest, its climate mitigation, and adaptation functions.

In this session, we provide an overview of Metro Vancouver’s recent Tree Regulations Toolkit, and some examples of where these tools are being applied across Canada. The Toolkit provides urban forestry practitioners with guidance on selecting tools ranging from higher-level plans, tools regulating land use, and tools primarily regulating trees.

However, trees themselves are also sensitive to the effects of climate change. Maximizing diversity is a key strategy to ensure resilient urban forests. Alongside this work, we urgently need to develop training programs about urban forest conservation, including citizen education and engagement.
Traditionally, urban forest research and planning are limited by the extent of available inventories. Most contain data on public trees, representing roughly half of urban trees. The other half, private and institutional trees, are almost completely unknown in terms of composition, diversity, and size distribution. Thus, researchers and practitioners are relying on a partial, and likely unrepresentative, dataset to make important urban forest management decisions.
Here, we present data from three urban forest plots in Montreal, (Eastern Canada), each encompassing multiple private and public green space types. Plots were surveyed using traditional as well as remote-sensing and citizen science techniques. While all three plots lacked diversity, we also noted differences in tree richness, composition, and size distribution across green space types – demonstrating the importance of including private trees in future inventories, and the need for methods to support this.
All three plots were established around higher education institutions (two universities, one college) as our objectives include research, teaching, and outreach. This communication is therefore also a call to establish a Canada-wide network of urban forest plots to continue building a more holistic understanding of urban forest diversity.","DocumentFormatType":4,"Url":null,"DocumentTypeId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","Name":"Abstract/Abstrait","Order":0,"IsDocument":false,"IsLink":false,"IsHtml":true,"IconClass":null}],"StartTime":null,"EndTime":null,"KeywordIds":["11c7ab25-56b7-dcba-e1fb-39ffac636cc0","63448fea-126c-aca8-871a-39ffac636cc0","6b9d58db-96ba-d15c-bd6a-39ffac636cc0"],"SocialMedia":{"_twitterHandle":null,"_facebookUrl":null,"_linkedInUrl":null,"_youTubeUrl":null,"_pinterestUrl":null,"_instagramUrl":null,"GooglePlusUrl":null,"TwitterHandle":null,"FacebookUrl":null,"LinkedInUrl":null,"YouTubeUrl":null,"PinterestUrl":null,"InstagramUrl":null,"FullGooglePlusUrl":"","FullTwitterHandle":"","FullFacebookUrl":"","FullLinkedInUrl":"","FullYouTubeUrl":"","FullPinterestUrl":"","FullInstagramUrl":"","EmptyLinksCount":7},"SocialMediaLinks":[],"Bio":null,"Presentations":[],"DisplayName":"Prof. Alain Paquette","TimeDisplay":null}],"Chairpersons":[],"Sponsors":[],"TrackHeadings":[{"Id":"34d99cec-1681-43e6-907e-576f7856b778","EventId":"fd442432-3182-4622-9923-068887f41790","Name":"Track 1","UniqueCode":null,"Date":"2022-10-03T00:00:00+00:00","Track":1,"Bold":true,"TextColor":"#FFFFFF","BackgroundColor":"#FFFFFF"}],"Keywords":[],"TimeZoneId":"Atlantic Standard Time","HasExtraDetails":true,"MergedSessionId":"8e7427ab-b467-4978-ad29-34e2e6aa0d44","StartTimeString":"3:30 PM","EndTimeString":"5:00 PM","StartToEndTimeString":"Parallel Session #2

Ironically, planners are equally tasked with the challenge of increasing canopy cover and ecosystem services in order to reach municipally and governmentally sanctioned targets. So where and how to plant all these trees? Highways provide an interesting avenue to answer these questions as they include largely under-planted spaces, which cannot be zoned for development, and are important sources of some of the most negative impacts (heat, carbon, pollution, noise) that trees are intended to help mitigate. However, highways can sometimes be seen as challenging environments for trees to grow and survive. Our studies aim to determine, on the one hand, whether the intensity of soil preparation leads to more successful planting and, on the other hand, what impact these plantations will have on temperature reduction in the future.

We will firstly be presenting how these highway planting strategies were constructed as well as the project’s results pertaining to: how the temperature decreases between the tree line and the highway depending on the structure and the diversity of the vegetation (human health) and the observed mortality and growth rates and impacts on diversity (ecosystem services).

In response to climate change, expanding the urban canopy is increasingly part of a portfolio of nature-based climate solutions being adopted by municipalities to offset carbon emissions and provide ecosystem services to local residents. However, investments in nature-based solutions (urban trees) are themselves vulnerable to increasing environmental and climatic stressors such as flooding, extreme heat, drought and insects. Given present and future challenges, understanding how best to manage and expand the urban canopy will be critical to designing climate-smart investments in urban forests. To protect these investments, we must revisit the way we select, plant and manage trees in cities to ensure that they will resist strengthening climate pressures and preserve the many beneficial services they provide.

Here, through different case studies, we present a multi-step approach designed to guide municipalities towards more ambitious and strategic urban forest management plans adapted to their location and geographical constraints. This approach allows i) to assess and address current canopy vulnerabilities to climate change, ii) to identify spatial opportunities for canopy expansion and other nature-based solutions contributing to climate adaptation and iii) to improve tree diversity through a selection of species that can cope with and mitigate existing climate hazards. To ensure cities achieve their climate targets and grow resilient urban forests, urban trees need to be strategically managed and maintained through cities.

The increased frequency of extreme weather events and movement of species’ fundamental niches, most notably in polar-tracking isotherms, thus jeopardize the stability of Canadian urban and rural forest communities. In monitoring the risk of single species catastrophe events and reduced native species fitness caused by climate change, biodiversity within these forests effectively approximates ecosystem resiliency. Unlike in rural forests, the composition of urban forests is largely determined by ecosystem services rather than ecological productivity/stability, and thus the biodiversity of urban forests has historically trailed that of rural forests. Ecologically, the extremely heterogeneous urban growth environment is characterized by low soil volume, water impermeable surfaces, and increased temperatures due to the heat island effect. Evolutionarily, differences in proximity to other biodiversity sources and frequency of range barriers between the two forests underlie the distinct processes that will dominate continued composition changes. Therefore, the primary strategy of rural forest managers in mitigating climate change may rely on ensuring gene flow and facilitating evolutionary rescue. Urban forest managers, however, could prioritize planting species well adapted to continuously developing niches, acknowledging the dependency of ecosystem services like stormwater attenuation on species composition. Planting strategies adopted by municipal governments to build climate-resilient urban forests must also consider socioeconomic factors, such as cultural attachment to particular species.

Juvenile street trees are especially susceptible to stressors in built environments. Moreover, as climate conditions become increasingly extreme and variable, urban forests are at a greater risk of poor health and early mortality. Understanding the contribution of climate change in tree mortality is crucial for canopy cover accounting and retention. Using Halifax, Nova Scotia, as our study location, we measured and performed condition assessment on four cohorts of urban street trees planted between 2013 – 2016. The cohorts were remeasured and conditions reassessed five years following each initial measurement, allowing us to quantify the growth and morality of 5403 trees. This study explores factors contributing to early tree mortality to explain divergences in growth and mortality rates across the four cohorts and various species. Two candidate hypotheses for the high mortality rates are drought-stress and early dehardening and budbreak. In comparing historical climate normals with the seasonal weather conditions following planting, we can infer (1) if present, whether weather anomalies adversely affected the survival of each cohort of street trees, (2) which species are more tolerant and resilient to outlier temperature and rainfall events and (3) if high mortality rates are in part a consequence of climate change. The results of this study can inform urban forest management in municipalities across Canada. Understanding the impact of climate change on mortality is crucial for urban forest practitioners who can bias their maintenance practices and species selection to promote greater tree survivorship.

Through the proliferation of roads, buildings, and other paved surfaces, urban centers have presented a homogeneous assemblage that reduce groundwater infiltration, absorbs more solar radiation, and increases carbon dioxide concentrations compared to their peri-urban surroundings. Growing efforts to counteract anthropogenic disturbances of natural systems have taken the form of forest restoration projects and organized tree-planting campaigns. When conducted in urban settings, these initiatives aim to address the effects of climate impacts through carbon sequestration, increasing surface reflectance, and restoring surface water infiltration. However, it can be expected that urban environmental changes influence the suitability of habitats for species by restricting their establishment and influencing species performance. For urban reforestation efforts to be successful suitable species with appropriate traits for urban site conditions must be determined.

My research addresses this gap by investigating urban forest landscape restoration projects in the Greater Toronto Area. I ask whether species assemblage (i.e., observed vs expected species abundances) and performance (functional traits, herbivory, resource uptake) in planted trees differ across a gradient of urban development. In addition, I test assumptions that landscape-level urban land use/cover patterns influence environmental conditions by measuring local site conditions, such as soil structure, nutrient concentrations, water content, and air temperature against predicted values of landscape models. I present this research through a conceptual model of urban forest restoration from the individual tree scale, and preliminary findings from the 2022 field season.

Pollen concentrations vary spatially and temporally, and therefore pollen monitoring is an important tool for research and healthcare improvement. However, little is known about how levels of pollen types and species vary within a city and whether this variation affects the development or exacerbation of allergic reactions. Pollen concentrations are often obtained from a single station used to represent exposure over a large geographic area. Furthermore, due to negligible morphological differences between related species, pollen grains are rarely identified at the species level. In this project, pollen is being collected with 24 gravimetric traps during the pollen season placed throughout the island of Montreal. Portable samplers are also used to collect pollen in high-traffic areas. Simultaneously, we launched an online survey of allergy sufferers to better understand the relationship between the severity of allergic symptoms and the concentration of each pollen species at the local level. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop spatial models to characterize pollen exposures based on the collected pollen data and environmental predictors, such as land use and land cover variables, vegetation composition, flowering time, and meteorological parameters relevant to pollen release and dispersal, which will represent a major step forward toward a better pollen forecast for people with pollen-related allergies or asthma to manage their symptoms.

Having rooted at the fork of the Red and Assiniboine River in Manitoba, Canada, the Red River Métis blossomed into a culture unique to none other. Historically, the Métis Nation was strong in the trading industry relying on close connections with the lands, waters, and environment for both livelihood and sustenance. Therefore, it was, and still is, imperative that the Red River Métis work to protect the environment for today and for future generations. The Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF), through an initiative entitled – Make Our Homeland Green Again, has committed to planting two million trees across the Homeland of the Métis Nation to join the fight against climate change.

A key part of this initiative includes expanding urban forests. Urban forests can capture carbon directly at the source aiding in the removal of emissions from communities. And, through the planting of an edible forest network across the Métis Homeland, the MMF will bring nature back into communities providing opportunities for healing, reconnecting with one’s cultural practices, and harvesting of traditional plants within city limits. Urban forests have an integral role in continuing to connect Métis people to the environment and the communities in which they live.

Our team will present from two recent projects and publications that translate research on urban forest benefits to best practices that are implementable at multiple scales. First, the Greening Blocks project offers a site-to-neighborhood scale typology to effectively integrate trees into built environments, while also promoting the human experiences of nearby nature that boost physical, mental and social health. We’ll present the design guidelines including: View from within, Plant entrances, Bring nature nearby, Retain the mature, Generate diversity, Create refuge, Connect experiences, and Optimize green infrastructure. Another project, done in collaboration with the US Forest Service, is a menu of urban forest planning and management options that comprehensively generate a wide and long view on trees in cities to optimize climate adaptation while also integrating the latest research on nature-centered health response. The menu is structured as nine Strategies, each further detailed as Approaches and Tactics. The strategies range in scale from city-wide policies and planning, to natural areas management, to trees in built environments. All are presented as context for human health intervention, either by reducing direct climate impacts (such as urban heat) or by addressing the physical and mental health public health issues associated with climate change.","DocumentFormatType":4,"Url":null,"DocumentTypeId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","Name":"Abstract/Abstrait","Order":0,"IsDocument":false,"IsLink":false,"IsHtml":true,"IconClass":null}],"StartTime":null,"EndTime":null,"KeywordIds":["63448fea-126c-aca8-871a-39ffac636cc0","7dbd8e87-ae8d-7cca-27d6-39ffac636cc0","6d503db2-df41-ad82-2740-39ffac636cc0"],"SocialMedia":{"_twitterHandle":null,"_facebookUrl":null,"_linkedInUrl":null,"_youTubeUrl":null,"_pinterestUrl":null,"_instagramUrl":null,"GooglePlusUrl":null,"TwitterHandle":null,"FacebookUrl":null,"LinkedInUrl":null,"YouTubeUrl":null,"PinterestUrl":null,"InstagramUrl":null,"FullGooglePlusUrl":"","FullTwitterHandle":"","FullFacebookUrl":"","FullLinkedInUrl":"","FullYouTubeUrl":"","FullPinterestUrl":"","FullInstagramUrl":"","EmptyLinksCount":7},"SocialMediaLinks":[],"Bio":null,"Presentations":[],"DisplayName":"Dr. Sara Barron","TimeDisplay":null},{"ContactId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","PresenationTitle":"Urban Food Trees and Climate Resilience","PresentationBio":"Janina Kowalski (she/her) is a PhD candidate in Geography at the University of Toronto- Mississauga.

Given their placement between urban forestry, urban agriculture, and community development, urban food trees are a unique way to address urban climate resilience. Interviews were conducted with food tree volunteers, associated not-for-profits, and municipal actors in Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, and Toronto. Policy documents related to food security and climate change were also evaluated to determine current and potential opportunities for integration of food trees within climate resilience strategies. Results indicate that planting and caring for urban food trees in public spaces creates opportunities for urban populations to learn vital skills and knowledge to support food production and maintain a source of local cultivars to use for future propagation. Additionally, engagement with food trees and the consideration of future generations may ease distress in the face of climate change.

Many terms, such as compact cities, complete neighbourhoods, and transit-oriented communities, are used to describe favourable urban development patterns that encourage higher density. Densification is also preferred as it constrains urban expansion and thereby minimizes the negative impacts of urban sprawl on surrounding ecosystems. However, within urban areas, densification has become a threat to urban forests, which indicates a weak integration amongst climate action, urban forestry and urban planning policies. In fact, urban forests have only recently been considered as part of climate action planning in Canadian cities. Previous studies have indicated potential conflicts between urban greening and densification as part of climate actions. But there is very little research that clearly maps the relationships, including trade-offs, between urban greening and densification. This presentation will introduce a study that aims to fill the gap by interviewing key informants to understand the synergies and trade-offs between various climate action and urban forestry practices in Metro Vancouver, BC.

To better understand the resilience and resistance of urban trees in face of climate change, we conduct a Canada-wide collection of tree cores from cities with diverging climates. Currently, the participating cities include Edmonton, Montreal, Quebec City, and Halifax, the climates ranging from continental to maritime and annual mean temperature from 3 to 7 °C. Using dendrochronology tools, we assess the tree growth responses to dry and hot periods, comparing between common urban tree species with different water-use strategies, and between trees in parks and on streets to cover the heterogeneity in urban environmental conditions. Finally, by examining the tree growth responses over the climate gradient, we aim to form predictions on the growth and resilience of urban trees in the future conditions. Our preliminary results from Montreal show that trees in streets tend to be more resilient to droughts, in addition to present a similar variability in growth than trees in parks. These results invalidate the initial hypotheses and increase the fact that with richer data, we will be able to identify best practices for developing resilient urban forests that will support ecosystem services now and in the future.","DocumentFormatType":4,"Url":null,"DocumentTypeId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","Name":"Abstract/Abstrait","Order":0,"IsDocument":false,"IsLink":false,"IsHtml":true,"IconClass":null}],"StartTime":null,"EndTime":null,"KeywordIds":["60705220-8e65-feb8-01e9-39ffac636cc0","6d503db2-df41-ad82-2740-39ffac636cc0","774f4598-156c-5444-d978-39ffac636cc0","6b9d58db-96ba-d15c-bd6a-39ffac636cc0"],"SocialMedia":{"_twitterHandle":null,"_facebookUrl":null,"_linkedInUrl":null,"_youTubeUrl":null,"_pinterestUrl":null,"_instagramUrl":null,"GooglePlusUrl":null,"TwitterHandle":null,"FacebookUrl":null,"LinkedInUrl":null,"YouTubeUrl":null,"PinterestUrl":null,"InstagramUrl":null,"FullGooglePlusUrl":"","FullTwitterHandle":"","FullFacebookUrl":"","FullLinkedInUrl":"","FullYouTubeUrl":"","FullPinterestUrl":"","FullInstagramUrl":"","EmptyLinksCount":7},"SocialMediaLinks":[],"Bio":null,"Presentations":[],"DisplayName":"Dr. Kaisa Rissanen","TimeDisplay":null}],"Chairpersons":[],"Sponsors":[],"TrackHeadings":[{"Id":"69d84d35-e3e1-4b6a-994d-928a38328e60","EventId":"fd442432-3182-4622-9923-068887f41790","Name":"Track 1","UniqueCode":null,"Date":"2022-10-04T00:00:00+00:00","Track":1,"Bold":true,"TextColor":"#FFFFFF","BackgroundColor":"#FFFFFF"}],"Keywords":[],"TimeZoneId":"Atlantic Standard Time","HasExtraDetails":true,"MergedSessionId":"bde46143-05b4-40bd-b1b0-634ae61420e2","StartTimeString":"8:30 AM","EndTimeString":"10:00 AM","StartToEndTimeString":"Parallel Session #3

The NIR documents GHG sources and sinks in Canada, including the contribution of urban trees. Producing national estimates in compliance with UNFCCC standards presents specific challenges. Here we present those, provide an overview of estimates covering 1990 to 2020 based on our current methodology, and discuss known limitations as well as possible biases.
The increasing availability of high-resolution remote sensing data, as well as ongoing field projects and collaborations that aim at providing more accurate allometric models and growth parameters, presents opportunities to address several of those limitations.


Developing allometric equations to estimate carbon stocks in urban trees using multisource LiDAR data

The allometric equations currently used to estimate urban tree biomass to produce Canada’s National Inventory Report either come from natural forests or from the United States, casting a great deal of uncertainty on carbon estimates.
By combining terrestrial, mobile and airborne LiDAR data sampled in Montreal, we developed a collection of new allometric equations to estimate tree volume and biomass from a variety of input data. We assess how interspecific and inter-site variability influence allometry, and how that variability can guide us extrapolating estimates in a variety of urban contexts based on the best information available. We also compare urban-specific allometric models with those obtained from the natural forest and quantify biases associated with the use the latter types of model to fill data gaps in urban environments.


Monitoring urban expansion and associated impacts on urban forest carbon stocks using the Landsat archive

For GHG reporting to the UNFCCC, urban areas are part of the “Settlements” category. There are currently no data products that delineate urban areas or settlements consistently across Canada, contributing to the uncertainty of national estimates. Moreover, emissions and removals associated with land use conversion must also be reported, further contributing to the need for a reconciled and authoritative land use and land use change data product.
Using Sentinel 2 and Landsat archives in combination with Continuous Change Detection and Classification algorithm, we documented a time series of urban expansion in the Metropolitan areas of Canada from 1990 to 2020. We also identified key land cover subcategories predicted with high resolution imagery and used to stratify urban growing environments to better estimate carbon stocks and sequestration rates across Canada.


Conclusion

Even after a successful operationalization of those improvements, several data gaps are likely to persist. We will thus conclude by presenting ECCC’s “wish list”, hoping to generate new collaborations that will both contribute to improve national and local estimates.

These include improved well-being of communities through enhanced tree canopies and green infrastructure; citizen engagement and stewardship; enhanced local biodiversity and wildlife habitat; and, improved stormwater management, erosion control and flood protection.
Sustained planting, protection, and maintenance of trees, forests, greenspaces, and related resources in and around urban areas require effective urban forest management planning. Municipal governments play an essential role in maximizing and sustaining the impact generated by growing, protecting, and maintaining the canopy. While larger cities have the resources to develop and implement urban forest management planning, small and medium sized municipalities often struggle to do so, lacking the expertise to develop locally adapted plans as well as the budget to implement them over multiple years. Building the resilience of urban forests in the face of climate variability and impacts (extreme temperatures, drought, pest outbreaks) now represents an additional set of challenges.
The panellists will explore the essential components of urban forest management planning and the type of resources required by small and medium municipalities to implement these plans.

During my career, I have had the privilege to work with communities and organizations across Canada and internationally to achieve sustainability and environmental justice goals.

My research focuses on urban forestry and social-ecological interactions in urban environments, with an emphasis on environmental justice, human health, well-being, and climate change. In the realm of environmental justice, my current research is particularly concerned with understanding the nature and dynamics of green gentrification, i.e., the physical or psychological displacement of residents due to local greening activities.","Title":"Dr.","FirstName":"Lorien","LastName":"Nesbitt","Position":"Assistant Professor","Organization":"University of British Columbia","PhotoUrl":null,"IsPresentingAuthor":false,"Order":1,"Documents":[{"PresentationId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","Html":null,"PlainText":"As climate change worsens, climate justice is an increasingly important issue in Canada. Climate justice refers to the equitable distribution of the impacts of, and involvement in responses to, climate change. Impacts such as heat waves and flooding are becoming increasingly common, calling us to consider how those impacts and our responses to them are distributed, and who is involved in crafting responses and building resilience. Given the well-known microclimatic and wellbeing benefits of urban forests, urban foresters have a role to play in building urban climate resilience in an equitable way.

Distributional green equity analyses have highlighted the inequitable distribution of urban forests in various contexts. When we consider that those populations that are least likely to have high-quality urban forest access are often those who are most vulnerable to climate change impacts such as heat waves, climate justice becomes a clear issue of public health and wellbeing, as well as urban forest management.

Given these realities, how can urban forestry contribute to climate justice in Canada? This presentation will consider how to improve climate justice, building on distributional green equity research and the potential for urban green gentrification, i.e., the physical or psychological displacement of marginalized urban populations due to urban forest improvement.

Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. It’s often these communities that feel the impacts of climate change the hardest, as racist housing practices have left these communities with much lower tree canopy percentages than their richer and whiter neighbors. To equitably move forward with urban forestry best practices that tackle climate change, it’s imperative our organizations do so with an Environmental Justice lens to meaningfully engage under-served and low-canopy communities.

Since 2020, the Arbor Day Foundation has been prioritizing Environmental Justice with partners that plant and care for trees in cities and towns across North America. Through the Foundation’s Alliance for Community Trees program, an in-depth training series on Environmental Justice was facilitated to this network of 200 community-based tree planting organizations in 2021. This training series focused on strategies to meaningfully engage community members, ensuring their involvement to increase the tree canopy in their communities.

In this presentation you will learn how the Arbor Day Foundation has been working with its network of planting partners to advance Environmental Justice best practices in cities and towns – in addition to the Foundation’s new Environmental Justice Grant Program, which is providing multi-year support to organizations to increase their capacity for community engagement and planting trees where they’re needed most.","DocumentFormatType":4,"Url":null,"DocumentTypeId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","Name":"Abstract/Abstrait","Order":0,"IsDocument":false,"IsLink":false,"IsHtml":true,"IconClass":null}],"StartTime":null,"EndTime":null,"KeywordIds":["6b9d58db-96ba-d15c-bd6a-39ffac636cc0","774f4598-156c-5444-d978-39ffac636cc0","63448fea-126c-aca8-871a-39ffac636cc0"],"SocialMedia":{"_twitterHandle":null,"_facebookUrl":null,"_linkedInUrl":null,"_youTubeUrl":null,"_pinterestUrl":null,"_instagramUrl":null,"GooglePlusUrl":null,"TwitterHandle":null,"FacebookUrl":null,"LinkedInUrl":null,"YouTubeUrl":null,"PinterestUrl":null,"InstagramUrl":null,"FullGooglePlusUrl":"","FullTwitterHandle":"","FullFacebookUrl":"","FullLinkedInUrl":"","FullYouTubeUrl":"","FullPinterestUrl":"","FullInstagramUrl":"","EmptyLinksCount":7},"SocialMediaLinks":[],"Bio":null,"Presentations":[],"DisplayName":"Mr. Matt Spitsen","TimeDisplay":null},{"ContactId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","PresenationTitle":"Wealthy, educated, and... non-millennial?

However, previous research (primarily conducted in the USA) suggests that canopy cover and green space are not always equitably distributed, often leaving low-income, racialized, and less-educated households more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Our study assesses the distribution of urban vegetation in 31 Canadian cities to determine whether certain social-economic/demographic factors are associated with increased vegetation. Using spatial lag models, Canadian census data, and urban ‘greenness fractions’ derived from Landsat imagery, we find diversity in the factors associated with increased urban vegetation between cities. This makes it difficult to establish a single overarching narrative about the state of environmental and climate justice relating to the distribution of vegetation in Canadian cities. Greater household income and educational attainment were positively associated with proximity to vegetation in numerous cities, while the proportion of millennials was often negatively associated. Variables including the proportion of visible minorities, Indigenous people, and recent immigrants infrequently had significant associations with urban vegetation. These results highlight the need for urban forestry planning and management actions tailored to individual Canadian cities to improve green equity and climate resilience for marginalized and underserved groups. Funding for public and private greening initiatives and maintenance; democratic participation, engagement, and education opportunities for residents; climate-adaptation planning that considers the challenge of greening dense environments; and consideration of potential negative outcomes of greening, such as gentrification, are necessary.","DocumentFormatType":4,"Url":null,"DocumentTypeId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","Name":"Abstract/Abstrait","Order":0,"IsDocument":false,"IsLink":false,"IsHtml":true,"IconClass":null}],"StartTime":null,"EndTime":null,"KeywordIds":["11c7ab25-56b7-dcba-e1fb-39ffac636cc0","6b9d58db-96ba-d15c-bd6a-39ffac636cc0","63448fea-126c-aca8-871a-39ffac636cc0"],"SocialMedia":{"_twitterHandle":null,"_facebookUrl":null,"_linkedInUrl":null,"_youTubeUrl":null,"_pinterestUrl":null,"_instagramUrl":null,"GooglePlusUrl":null,"TwitterHandle":null,"FacebookUrl":null,"LinkedInUrl":null,"YouTubeUrl":null,"PinterestUrl":null,"InstagramUrl":null,"FullGooglePlusUrl":"","FullTwitterHandle":"","FullFacebookUrl":"","FullLinkedInUrl":"","FullYouTubeUrl":"","FullPinterestUrl":"","FullInstagramUrl":"","EmptyLinksCount":7},"SocialMediaLinks":[],"Bio":null,"Presentations":[],"DisplayName":"Ms. Jessica Quinton","TimeDisplay":null}],"Chairpersons":[],"Sponsors":[],"TrackHeadings":[{"Id":"fbcdee1a-ef3c-49e0-9fca-a816c2a3106a","EventId":"fd442432-3182-4622-9923-068887f41790","Name":"Track 1","UniqueCode":null,"Date":"2022-10-05T00:00:00+00:00","Track":1,"Bold":true,"TextColor":"#FFFFFF","BackgroundColor":"#FFFFFF"}],"Keywords":[],"TimeZoneId":"Atlantic Standard Time","HasExtraDetails":true,"MergedSessionId":"b0dc353e-ef4c-4488-925d-4d541c6012b1","StartTimeString":"8:30 AM","EndTimeString":"10:00 AM","StartToEndTimeString":"Parallel Session #4

Both spatial characteristics such as tree location or species, and temporal drivers such as weather conditions are known to drive the tree water use and water status, but these effects have not been well quantified in urban environments. For example, street trees surrounded by paved surfaces have reduced access to rainwater, but they may profit from alternative water sources. Both these effects can strongly shape the tree water use patterns and vulnerability to drought. In addition, as long-living species, trees can acclimate in response to their conditions by changes in their structure and functions.

Here, we present two interlinked studies exploring the variability in tree water use and acclimation to urban conditions. First, we used sap flow sensors to study water use of in total 54 trees in parks and streets of Montreal to better understand how the location and species affected water use and water status, and whether they defined the responses of water use to dry periods during the growing season. After finding small species-level differences between the study locations, we investigated potential location-wise differences in the wood anatomy related to water transport safety and efficiency. These differences hinted that urban trees may have an important capacity to adjust their vessel sizes and distribution to buffer the potentially unfavourable location effects on water use and status.

These simplified “tree chain of custody” steps, however, represent activities along a very complex supply chain in Canada. In the urban forest supply chain, there are distinct production phases with multiple producers involved in the 10+ year cycle before a tree is ready for sale. The distribution channel tends to be very complex, with procurement processes that include low-bid tendering, planting by third parties, and a strong marketplace with influences on species-selection trends. Once in the landscape, urban trees face harsh artificial conditions with budget-restricted maintenance which limit the success of tree planting and ultimately, make it challenging to meet aggressive canopy enhancement targets.

Given that there is heightened demand for urban tree planting as natural climate solutions become the norm, how can we prepare the supply chain to meet these demands? This panel will outline findings from recent studies working with urban forest supply chain members investigating obstacles to successful urban forest growth and establishment. The panel will explore the potential benefits of an integrative interdisciplinary approach to knowledge-sharing all along the urban tree supply chain. The three pillars of the new approach will be discussed by panelists including 1) Information sharing for evidenced-based practice 2) New approaches for enhanced decision-making and 3) Developing tools for monitoring and evaluating new practices.

From extreme heat, to unprecedented wind, to prolonged drought, the trees in our cities are facing new climate realities. These challenges create opportunity to think strategically about how different urban forestry scenarios could play out over the next decades. In this interactive panel session, three graduates from the first cohort of UBC's Faculty of Forestry Master of Urban Forestry Leadership program draw on their personal, professional and program experiences to provide future urban forestry scenarios specific to their regions. Using a 2x2 scenario framework, the graduates showcase plausible urban forestry scenarios specific to their regions: the City of Victoria, British Columbia; the City of Calgary, Alberta; and the City of Perth in Western Australia.

The panel will discuss the logic behind their scenario creation and share how futures thinking can shift organisational mindsets to build resilience in our urban forests. The panel will cover topics of urban forest governance, assessment, adaptation to climate change, strategic thinking, and policy analysis. Each unique case study highlights ways that urban forest leaders can plan for local climate impacts, and how those plans can fit within the unique governance infrastructure of their communities. While highlighting differences in climate realities, the panel demonstrates how the urban forest community can work together to support emerging leaders in their quest to plan and manage for the future.

Trees planted in cities are exposed to diverse abiotic stresses, such as drought, air pollution or roadwork traumas, making them more vulnerable to pests and diseases. In the context of climate change, cities need the right trees – resilient species adapted to these conditions - in increasing quantities. Moreover, the human well-being, infrastructure and environmental co-benefits of urban forests are increasingly being recognized, meaning once we have the right tree, how do we ensure it is planted in the right place for long-term survival and access?

During his 15 years with the Foundation, Dan has led the development of innovative programs that expand the organization’s global reach — including international forest restoration efforts and the most recent Tree Cities of the World program. In addition, Dan spearheads the Arbor Day Foundation’s Evergreen Alliance — a strategic group of corporate leaders dedicated to helping the organization meet its recently announced Time for Trees initiative to plant 100 million trees and inspire 5 million tree planters by 2022.When not educating and empowering people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees, Dan is often training and struggling to complete triathlons or searching for another unique restaurant to explore. He finds any chance possible to travel for fun and adventure with his wife and two fantastic kids.","Title":null,"FirstName":"Dan","LastName":"Lambe","Position":null,"Organization":"Arbor Day Foundation","PhotoUrl":"https://az659834.vo.msecnd.net/eventsaircancprod/production-venuewest-public/00ba150991c246b4985af6d598b4a62a","IsPresentingAuthor":false,"Order":1,"Documents":[{"PresentationId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","Html":null,"PlainText":"In this presentation, Lambe emphasizes the urgency of this critical moment in time, and the powerful work of urban forests to provide a solution to help people and the planet.
