17、tably more abundant than those on rural trees. As a result, urban trees suffer from heavy infestations （害虫横行）, and are often unhealthy or die. To protect and restore urban trees health, we need to determine the factors that make these tree pests more successful in urban habitats.Living organisms int
18、eract closely with their environment. The warmer, more drought-stressed trees harbor more successful pests than cooler, less drought-stressed trees. As cities and natural habitats become hotter and drier, damaging insects will become more abundant on urban trees.Trees within urban forests are valuab

21、n temperatures air and water quality, provide habitat for wildlife, cool down temperatures and beautify our environment. They make cities livable.However, being a city tree is not easy.
