What pests and diseases threaten the most abundant urban tree species, and what countermeasures are available?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Trees deliver multiple ecosystem services in a single place. It may take 60 years for a replacement tree to deliver sufficient ecosystem goods and services to pay for the cost of planting, so maintaining the good health of urban trees is crucial.

What reliable methods could be used to quantify the ecosystem trade-offs and synergies associated with woodlands as part of land use change to support the sustainable management of natural resources and respond to the climate and nature emergencies?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
The management of synergies and trade-offs is key to understanding future land use change options. Many assessments are currently subjective: being able to quantify trade-offs and synergies would aid decision making and future policy direction.
