Modeling the impact of hemlock woolly adelgid under several climate change scenarios
(2023)
The hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae), or HWA, is a species of insect
invasive to eastern North America that has caused significant mortality amongst its
hemlock (Tsuga spp.) hosts. Survivorship and subsequent ...
Urban forest management: evaluating the benefits and options for replacing declining urban ash tress, and value-added potential of urban trees
(2023)
This thesis investigates the benefits and options for replacing declining urban ash
trees, as well as the value-added potential of urban trees more broadly. The study aims
