Urban Vulnerability Assessment
A key step to understanding the potential impacts of climate change on the urban forest is to conduct vulnerability assessments. Urban Forestry Vulnerability Assessments integrate the unique challenges in working in developed and undeveloped areas across the urban landscape. In our assessment of the Chicago Wilderness area, we:
- Assessed the vulnerability of trees across the region using habitat suitability models, projected changes in heat and hardiness zones, and assessing adaptive capacity of species.
- Synthesized the latest scientific literature on climate change impacts to the region.
- Summarized case studies of community-level vulnerability assessments for urban forests
Download the Chicago Wilderness assessment here
Other materials that summarize the assessment include:
- Chicago area Vulnerability Assessment Summary and Highlights (4-page pdf)
- Climate Change Impacts for Chicago area forests (presentation pdf; poster pdf )
Please contact Leslie Brandt to learn more about this effort.
