Treescape and all aspects of urban vegetation comprise an important component of the urban landscape, whether it is in a small town or a large city. Until recently this was an area somewhat neglected by research. However, this has changed in the last few decades partly due to the devastating effects of Dutch Elm Disease in many cities and towns throughout Europe and North America and partly because of a growing awareness worldwide of all things environmental. There is still a dearth of literature on many aspects of urban vegetation, particularly on small urban areas. Some research, however, has been carried out on Dutch Elm, Disease, the relationship between. pollution and vegetation, urban landscape planning, urban trees and their management, biogeography and paleoecology.
