- Abstract (EN)
- Effects of climate change lead to decreasing vitality and increase mortality risk for many native tree speciesgrowing under harsh environmental conditions in towns and cities. Taking into account the risks of invasiveness,practical management and scientific experience alternative species and rising floristic biodiversity may help toreduce vulnerability of urban green space.Regardless of the emotional debate considering foreign species, the potential of urban street tree speciesoriginating from China may be considered for European urban places in particular in regions with expecteddrier and hotter conditions. Preselection for trees with potential high suitability for urban sites in Central Europewas done by winter hardiness zone, native range of low average precipitation sums, tree height, and sensitivityto specific urban site conditions by literature. Species meeting the restrictions were evaluated by their vitalityon 70 urban road sites. This final selection of 40 commonly used Chinese tree species took as its startingpoint observations and local experiences of three research expeditions in September 2010, 2012, and 2015concentrating on the metropole of Beijing. The results of these research expeditions confirm the potential highsuitability for the selected tree species. For the considered species practical and scientific knowledge has to beresearched for Central Europe.
