Part 3 of the Tree selection considerations for a changing climate series by Stephen Frank and Kirsten Raynor explores the tree selection process using climate suitability modelling, plant traits and physiology, and the effects of the urban environment on tree growth. It also discusses methods for the trialing and monitoring of plant performance in the landscape. There are many factors to consider when selecting trees for urban forests. This has become even more complex with the predicted changes to future growing conditions under climate change.
