Because human populations are growing in most U.S. cities, it will become increasingly important to maintain healthy, productive urban forests. Scientists and urban foresters are working together to quantify recent drought-related stress and find management strategies for sustainable urban landscapes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7417\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7417\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/06\/ca-tree-deaths.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7417\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/06\/ca-tree-deaths-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/06\/ca-tree-deaths-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/06\/ca-tree-deaths-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/06\/ca-tree-deaths-245x138.jpg 245w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/06\/ca-tree-deaths.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr\/US Forest Service Region 5 via the Weather Channel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A webinar on the impacts of droughts on urban forests is scheduled for Tuesday, July 25 at 2 pm EDT. \u00a0It is being offered by the US Forest Service. \u00a0You can get more information on it at\u00a0https:\/\/www.climatewebinars.net\/webinars\/drought-urbanforests.
