Absztrakt (kivonat)

The spatial expansion of urbanised areas and the steady increase in the urban population, as well as climate change trends, are increasing the need for the development of adequate urban green infrastructure. The social demand for combating climate change is accompanied by the revaluation of green spaces, and in this context woody vegetation plays a key role. In a changing climatic context and under intense anthropogenic stress, the challenge of developing a tree population that is climate-friendly and resistant to disturbance is a major one. In our research, we investigate all growth parameters of the newly planted trees from the start of a street reconstruction involving a complete tree replacement (Gutenberg Street, Szeged). The structural analysis of the revealed not only the growth rate over the 8 years since planting, but also the significant differences between the two sides of the street. In order to find a possible reason for this, we examined (using SAGA GIS software) potential incoming solar radiation of the street, which could explain the significant difference in growth rate. The data collected also provided an opportunity to analyse the allometric relationships. This will partly allow the prediction of the growth rate and can provide baseline data for planning and decision-making processes in the dilemma of whether to retain older trees or plant new stocks.
