Project Description

Urban forests are arguably understood best as social-ecological systems (SESs) of inseparable human and natural components. In several book chapters and a scholarly journal article in preparation, Jess Vogt synthesizes nearly a dozen prior frameworks used by scholars to understand SESs and urban forests separately into a comprehensive framework. Manuscript in progress available upon request.

A comprehensive framework of urban forests as social-ecological systems. See also Vogt (2020a) and Vogt (in prep.).
