Typical Park Landscape Lack of biodiversity leaves system vulnerable to pests, disease, or changing conditions.
Trees and lawn are similar heights, not very tall, and don’t have very deep roots, limiting carbon storage in biomass.
Lack of diversity results in spaces above and below ground without plant biomass, limiting carbon storage.
Plant community lacks complexity in space and time.
Plants are not well adapted to site, needing a lot of maintenance, contributing to carbon emissions.
