isa municipal arborist study guide
questions (all) with Correct Answers
describe the difference among arboriculture, municiple arboriculture, and urban forestry.
municipal arborculture - CORRECT ANSWER-urban forestry encompasses all the
greenspaces within a city.
municipal arborculture is a specialize field of arborculture and urban forestry that deals
with management of planted and naturally occuring greenspaces on public land in
communities.
arborculture focuses on tree care activities applied to individual trees and small groups
of trees
list 3 reasons it is important to understand and be able to describe the benifits trees
provide - CORRECT ANSWER-1. demonstrate return on urban forest program funding.
2.meet environmental quality retirements
3. apply for grants aimed at environmental enhancement/protection
5 environmental benifits trees provide - CORRECT ANSWER-1. enhance air quality by
absorbing and intercepting atmospheric contaminants
2.mitigate global warming through carbon sequestering
3. conserve energy through sun and wind protection
4. reduce stormwater runoff and erosion
5. reduce smog production by lowering temperatures in cities and vehicles.
how do tree affect particulates? - CORRECT ANSWER-tree filter out particles from the
air that adhere to leaves, twigs, and branches
How do trees cause pollution ? - CORRECT ANSWER-some trees produce biogenic
volatile organic compounds that contribute to the formation of ozone and carbon
monoxide
what is the overall effect trees have on ozone levels? - CORRECT ANSWER-
how do trees mitigate global warming? - CORRECT ANSWER-trees remove CO2 from
the air and sequester carbon in wood. lowering the concentration of CO2 reduces
greenhouses gases and mitigates global warming.
, four psychological and social benifits of trees - CORRECT ANSWER-
how do trees affect the local economy? - CORRECT ANSWER-
research has focused on quantifying specific environmental benifits of trees, including -
CORRECT ANSWER-1.energy conservation
2. carbon sequestering
3. pollution removal and associated improvements in air quality
4. stormwater management
5. property value
in a strict sense, municipal arborculture differs from urban forestry in that ________
deals with the management of planted and naturally occuring green spaces on public
lands and in communities, while ________<<<<< includes both public and private land.
- CORRECT ANSWER-municipal arborculture/ urban forestey
which atmospherics contaminants are produced by trees? - CORRECT ANSWER-
biogenic volitile organic compounds
Trees improve air quality by absorbing ___________ and intercepting _________. -
CORRECT ANSWER-gaseous pollutants (contaminants); particulates
T/F. trees van be used as a mitigation tool for global warming because they remove
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sequester carbon in wood. - CORRECT
ANSWER-true
T/F. Some trees produce compounds that contribute to air pollution, but overall they
reduce ozone levels because they remove more carbon monoxide than they produce. -
CORRECT ANSWER-false. Tree remove more carbon than they produce.
to maximize energy benifits in warm climates areas, trees should be planted -
CORRECT ANSWER-on the east and west sides of buildings.
T/F planting a row along a busy road is effective method to reduce noise levels in the
adjacent park. - CORRECT ANSWER-False.
What is the 1st component of the planning phase - CORRECT ANSWER-What do we
have?
Baseline data that describes recent past and present situations and project into the
future if the same course is followed.
Green space planning considers ______________________,
_____________________ and __________________ value of undeveloped parcels
during land-use planning - CORRECT ANSWER-Aesthetic, recreational, and ecological
Trees perform important environmental and social functions.
