Australian Local Government Areas (LGA) failure to meet their infill development targets, results in 30% urban tree canopy benchmark depletion. Under-performing green targets lead to hotter treeless suburbs dramatically triggering a need to pioneer effective long-term energy conservation approaches. This paper evaluates standard energy rated dwelli...

... access differs significantly depending on latitude and time-frame. Fig. 4 compares sunshine hours to clear days in Adelaide and Perth. Perth has an average 8 sunlit hours per day, year-round, while Adelaide's monthly sunlit hours is less than Perth. Fig. 4 shows, although February is the warmest month in Perth and Adelaide, January is the sunniest month, 387.5 sunlit hours in Perth, and 326 hours in ...

Likewise, August is the coldest month, and June displays the lowest sunshine amount, 180 hours in Perth and 138 hours in Adelaide. ORTa affects a minimum two summer months and two ...

Storm events are significant disturbance agents that can cause considerable forest damage through windthrow. Assessment and mapping of the extent and severity of windthrow is critical to provide reliable information to forest managers to prioritize post-storm hazard reduction (including public safety and fire risk) and to guide restoration activiti...
Siberia occupies vast areas underlain by permafrost, and understanding its land cover changes is important for ecological environmental protection in a warming climate. Based on the land cover and climate datasets, we analyzed the land cover changes and their drivers in Siberia from 1992 to 2020. The results show that ① From 1992 to 2020, the areas...
The physiological performance of clonal plants is largely linked with resource translocation among interconnected ramets. Whereas carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) transferences have been evidenced in several herbaceous clonal plants, empirical evidence in woody species is anecdotal. We evaluated physiological integration in two evergreen tree species, d...
Photosynthesis, growth, and plant maintenance respiration are closely related to tree tissue nitrogen (N) concentrations. While earlier studies of the variation in tissue N concentrations and underlying controls have mostly focused on leaves, here we identify the large-scale controls of N concentration in other tree compartments for the first time....

... Also, green-rich and energy-efficient neighbourhoods are allies as trees provide eco-friendly, low-cost, native, organic and energy-efficient design elements vital to the neighbourhoods and stormwater management system (Choi & McIlrath, 2017;Woznicki et al., 2018). Whereas treeless concrete-covered neighbourhoods set a critical precedent for dramatic residential tree loss (Rouhollahi et al., 2022;Hall, 2010b). ...
... This article first reviewed urban design and planning policies across Australia for defining proper tree planting configuration parameters. The policy review highlights dominant tree planting configuration parameters, supported by relevant research reviews (He et al., 2023;Rouhollahi et al., 2022;Zhu et al., 2022). These potential parameters include tree type (evergreen or deciduous), volume(1-3 trees), size (small, medium or large trees) and Tree-Building distance (3 m or 5 m from tree trunk to building facade) in each cardinal and inter-cardinal azimuth. ...
... NSW extends the definition to include tree value based on plant size, tree age, condition, trunk diameter, life expectancy, public visibility, heritage status and land ownership (NSW Government, 2022). Through these public planting mechanisms, South Australia tree removal off-set contribution funds erroneously view public tree planting as compensation for private tree removal, despite research showing public tree planting cannot provide thermal benefits in a neighbourhood context (Rouhollahi et al., 2022). The recent residential development policies, such as Adelaide's 2022 planning and design code and 2019 Living Melbourne metropolitan urban forest planning policy, focus on preventing tree removal, stating 'pre-existing trees must be retained or replaced within the residential development process', disregarding location. ...
