Assessing the Effects of Different Pruning Regimens Applied to Residential Shade Trees
A certified International Society of Arboriculture arborist, Dee will examine the mechanical, physiological, and carbon-accounting effects of different styles of pruning, including the degree to which tree invertebrate populations, residual leaf-area index, and frequency with which the tree sways in the wind are influenced. Dee’s findings will help arborists and urban foresters better understand and apply pruning as an intervention.
