278 Arboriculture & Urban Forestry 2013. 39(6): 278 Urban Tree Growth & Longevity This special section of Arboriculture & Urban Forestry contains a series of papers related to urban tree growth and longevity. Research and new information on urban tree growth and longevity is important for improved management of our urban trees and forests, as well as assessing their function and value. The papers in this section were presented at the Urban Tree Growth & Longevity Conference held on September 12–13, 2011 at The Morton Arboretum (Lisle, Illinois, U.S.). This international conference brought together researchers and practitioners to discuss the current state of knowl- edge concerning urban tree growth and longevity. The conference covered four topic areas: 1) Descriptive studies of tree growth, longevity, and mortality; 2) Roles of tree production and sales on tree growth and longevity; 3) Roles of site design and tree selection on tree growth and longevity; and 4) Roles of tree and site management on tree growth and longevity. These additional papers from the conference were published in September 2012. Urban Tree Growth Modeling E. Gregory McPherson and Paula J.
