Tree Species Risks

Forests may look very different in the future as a result of climate change. Many of the northern tree species that provide economic and cultural benefits are adapted to cold climates and will be under greater stress as the climate warms and conditions become less favorable. 

This site provides lists of urban trees for various cities with indications of their vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and zone suitability under low and high emissions scenarios. The webpage also provides links to peer-reviewed publications, reports, and tools.
