Establishing an Urban Research Agenda for Decision Ready Science: Priorities and Opportunities: From the Forest Perspective Sarah Low, Philadelphia Field Station Coordinator USDA Forest Service

Establishing an Urban Research Agenda Decision Ready-Science Priorities Opportunities

Creating a Feedback Loop Research Practice

What are the benefits of trees? How much water does a tree intercept? Evapotranspire? How does evapotransporation impact temperature? How does temperature impact human health? How do trees impact human health? On a local level? On a regional level? How do we better manage trees to maximize benefits? How do we protect urban forests so that they can continue to function? What will happen to urban forests as climate changes? Can we create policy that helps us ensure a sustainable forest into the future?

What are the Questions? Trees and Forest Water Resources PeopleAirClimate Health BiophysicalSustainability Planning Adaptation

What Are The Challenges?

Be “Dynamic” Biophysical UnderstandingHuman Dynamics

Collaboration: Urban Waters Federal Partnership Partnership will lead to an active and authentic conversation between federal government and local stakeholders Conversation will help lead to action that addresses local concerns and issues Action will be guided by appropriate science and experience
