Discusses urban forest management in Modesto, California. [UMN]
"This study answers the question: Do the accrued benefits from Modestos urban forest justify an annual municipal budget that exceeds $2 million? Results indicate that the net benefits from Modestos 91,179 public trees exceed management costs by a factor of nearly 2 and totaled $2,329,900 ($12.76/resident, $25.55/tree). Due to the tree populations relatively even-aged structure and heavy reliance on mature Modesto ash for benefits, management strategies are needed that may reduce net benefits but increase diversity and stability."
