Kaprova, Katerina | Szoradova, Andrea | Vojackova, Barbora
The article focuses on the analysis of new plantations of trees in the last 5 years in the Czech Republic. The analysis is based on the largest Czech database of woody plants inventories in Czech cities that were gathered by arborists at the portal www.checktrees.com. The distribution of tree species among young trees planted in Czech cities and along the roadways is analysed regarding the most popular species for planting. Based on the results, we discuss whether the actual trends in planting (together with the knowledge on the care requirements of particular species, their known resistence to weather extremes and susceptibility to deceases) respect not only the present conditions, but also the future development under climate change. The article synthetites the implications of the recent trends in urban tree growing in Czech cities on the succesful management of urban greenery in future.
