Studies have recorded evidence of human impacts
within urban forest edges associated with adjacent
land uses; however, little is known about
residential encroachment activities, and the
physical boundary treatments and municipal policies
developed to protect urban forested natural areas
from these activities. This study evaluates the
effectiveness of structural boundary treatments, and
municipal policies for protecting forests from
encroachment activities. This book addresses
professionals in planning, landscape architecture,
forest and park management. It will help to answer
the following questions: What residential encroachment activities occur within urban
forests and how far from forest borders do they
extend? What municipal planning policies are
effective and ineffective in addressing these
activities? How wide does a buffer need be to
segregate these activities from sensitive forest
edges? And, how can the planning, design and
management of urban forests be improved to ensure
their features and functions are protected for the
long term?
