Program

Urban tree species selection in a changing climate

On 27 June 2019, the Dutch trade journals Boomzorg and Boom in Business are organizing an international symposium about climate trees. This will be held at Batouwe Nurseries in Dodewaard, The Netherlands.

The climate in our cities has changed in the past years and will change even more in the coming years. In consequence we will have to plant different trees in the future, which are better adapted to the rigid city climate. But how do we decide which species and cultivars are best adapted and how can we be sure those trees are being grown in nurseries?

We will address the following themes:

- Trees species (and cultivars) most suitable for the foreseen climate change.
- The relation between pests and diseases in trees and climate change.
- The relation between biodiversity and risk assessment of (new) diseases.
- How to encourage the complete chain of the green industry to use the right tree species:
        - Nurseries
        - Landscape architects 
        - Policy and management
- Important factors to estimate climate change tolerance:
        - For instance: frost, heat radiance, drought, infrastructure, etc. 
        - What data can be used as indicators?
