Reviews of Science for Science Librarians: Assessing the Impact of Urban Tree Planting Initiatives on Climate Change
2014
Climate change is believed to be one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. No section of the globe will remain untouched by its effects. As a result, researchers around the world are searching for ways to mitigate the impacts of climate change. An idea that has become a popular fixture of climate management plans is planting trees in urban areas. Tree planting initiatives (TPIs) are thought to be beneficial for two reasons: (1) trees store and absorb carbon dioxide, and (2) trees may prevent carbon dioxide emissions by providing shade in hot urban settings. This article is intended to provide librarians information about the research tools and current state of research in this growing field.
