Adapting Urban Forests to a Changing Climate
The Gulf region faces extreme climatic challenges, including rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and increased soil salinity. These factors demand a proactive approach to urban forestry. To ensure the longevity and health of urban forests, the tree species planted today must be resilient to future climatic conditions. By analysing the natural distribution of species and integrating climate modelling, NatureCulture develops forecasts to predict how various tree species will perform in the Gulf’s urban environments.
Our Services
NatureCulture provides comprehensive analysis to assess how future climate scenarios will impact the most common tree species in the region. Using advanced climate projections and multiple future scenarios, our analysis offers actionable insights to guide species selection and planting strategies. This ensures that urban greenery remains sustainable, thriving under evolving climate conditions while continuing to deliver essential ecosystem services for generations to come.
We focus on species that can withstand the Gulf’s harsh conditions, ensuring effective cooling, dust mitigation, and water-efficient urban forestry strategies. Our approach supports sustainable development goals, enhancing outdoor livability while conserving resources.
With this forward-thinking approach, we help cities and organisations create climate-resilient urban forests, safeguarding their benefits for the future.
