In the past, trees have been selected primarily for their ornamental value but these essential life-giving plants have the potential to deliver a vast array of ecosystem benefits, but only if we plant the right tree in the right place. To combat the damaging effects of climate change we need mature trees and species diversity, which means careful selection for site and function. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e International tree expert Henrik Sjan along with garden designer and passionate advocate for the environment Arit Anderson identified the need for \u003cb\u003ea new kind of selection guide that focuses on the hidden benefits of trees\u003c\/b\u003e and dedicated themselves to this visionary new resource. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Easily accessible text, backed by the latest scientific research, describes the\u003cb\u003e multiple benefits mature trees bring to towns and cities including storing carbon, slowing down rainfall and cooling buildings.\u003c\/b\u003e We learn that some trees excel at particular functions and how to select trees for specific conditions such as droughts and storms.
