The study explores the health and climate-related ecosystem services offered by street trees in urban environments. It evaluates the direct and locally-generated benefits and drawbacks provided by street trees, focusing on their impact on human health and well-being through climate regulation, air quality improvement, and aesthetic/cultural services. By utilizing an urban ecosystem services framework, the research aims to guide decision-makers and planners in understanding the value of street trees in urban settings and highlights the importance of a holistic approach to evaluating the services provided by street trees.
