TL;DR
This study examines the tree diversity in Timișoara's Green Forest and its role in urban landscape design and public well-being.
Contribution
The study introduces 3D visualizations and dendrometric analysis to enhance urban forest design and ecological education.
Findings
Quercus robur, Quercus cerris, and other species dominate Green Forest due to their morphological traits.
Dendrometric analysis reveals variations in tree height, trunk diameter, age, and density.
3D visualizations aid in communicating landscape design and promoting public engagement with nature.
Abstract
Urban forests serve as representations of nature within city landscapes. Green Forest, spanning 5,198,412 square meters, has been incorporated into the Municipality of Timișoara’s public domain and designated as a forest park. This fact increased green space per capita and enriched biodiversity within Timișoara’s landscape architecture. This study explores the diversity of Green Forest trees and highlights their contribution to the urban landscape. Statistical methods, including comparative and linear relationships analyses, were employed to assess significant variations in the dendrometric parameters of the analyzed tree species: mean tree height, mean trunk diameter at breast height (DBH), tree age, and stand density. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis were applied to uncover underlying patterns in the data. Using ArchiCAD and Lumion, high-quality 3D visual…
