Abstract:
The slogan, ‘The right tree in the right place for a clear function’, points to the need to be specificabout which trees grow where and how they can be managed to meet expectations of functions.The method described here starts with an inventory of tree presence in the landscape andlocal knowledge and perceptions of identity and function compared with taxonomic identityand recorded uses in existing databases. A second level of analysis in tree and site matching isunderstanding how tree growth and productivity depends on site conditions, which is closely linkedto the question of which aspects of site conditions actually matter. A third level takes a critical look atfunctions in relation to landscape niches.
