Keywords: UrbanTrees Resilience Biodiversity

• species richness/diversity increases resilience and thus ecosystem services over time
• looked at 5 global cities and only included street trees
• no cities met the 10/20/30 benchmark though Vancouver was close
• areas outside of city centers always had higher diversity
• results differed slightly when switching from stem count to basal area
