Abstract
Trees provide ecosystem services that would be far too
costly for humans to create themselves. These services
can be classified into four main groups: environmental
benefits, communal benefits, economic benefits, and social
benefits (Antunes 2012). In urban spaces, tree planning is
crucial in order to maximize ecosystem services.
Kalamazoo College is home to 1,315 trees, but the campus
tree community could benefit from an increase in
biodiversity (Singh 2019). An increase in tree species
biodiversity can improve the Kalamazoo College ecosystem
quality by creating homes for new species and providing
protection from some pest attacks. This research proposes
trees that will benefit Kalamazoo College.
