Trees are important components of urban landscapes because of the ecosystem services they provide. However, the effects of urbanization, particularly high temperatures, can benefit chronic insect pests and threaten ecosystem services offered by urban trees. Urban forest fragments are an often-overlooked component of the greater urban forest which m...

... The extent of microclimatic buffering by urban forests and parks is largely determined by structural characteristics, such as canopy cover, tree species identity and richness, but also topography (Feyisa et al., 2014;Zellweger et al., 2019;Schwaab et al., 2021;Wang et al., 2021). The buffering capacity of urban forests is crucial for the health of citizens living in urban areas (Smoyer et al., 2000;Gillerot et al., 2022;Iungman et al., 2023), but can also substantially mitigate urban heat impacts on flora and fauna, such as temperatures that exceed species' thermal limits, as well as changes in phenology and pest infestations (Zipper et al., 2016;Long et al., 2019). For all these reasons, urban forests are increasingly proposed as a viable nature-based solution to moderate UHIs (van den Bosch and Ode Sang, 2017;Ziter et al., 2019;Wang et al., 2021;Iungman et al., 2023). ...
