Table 3.

Tree species considered by habitat specialists and located in plots in the two case studies, numbers present, yearly mean increment in height (m) and DBH (cm). The structural position divides the trees into canopy trees/understory trees. The use-experiences of the species in the CNE-region is divided between species, which are (1) all more or less commonly used in urban environments of the region, and (2) those where prior experiences of their performance and plasticity is limited or non-existing for the region (after Sjöman et al. 2010 and Sjöman et al. 2012).
