“…So, European chestnut could be indicated to be included in restoration programes for the European forest, since adult trees save most of light in the top of their canopies and only low intensity will attain soil level. Identical conclusions have been drawn by Joesting et al, (2009) in relation to American chestnut (C. dentata (Marsh.) Borkh) with the aim to restore chestnut populations in eastern deciduous forest from Appalachian mountains.…”

“…These gene-based physiological traits are difficult to change, but the morphological characteristics of plants will change in order to facilitate greater capture of solar radiation in low light conditions [60]. The plant tolerance for shade is mostly tested in the laboratory environment by means of related equipment [61][62][63], such as Li-6400XT, for the photosynthetic efficiency test of herbs and small shrubs (seedlings). However, there is still a lack of extensive test data on sunshine requirements (e.g., the light compensation point) of the landscape plants in metropolitan environments, especially for the larger shrubs and trees.…”

Sunshine is an important factor which limits the choice of urban plant species, especially in environments with high-density buildings. In practice, plant selection and configuration is a key step of landscape architecture, which has relied on an experience-based qualitative approach. However, the rationality and efficiency of this need to be improved. To maintain the diversity of plant species and to ensure their ecological adaptability (solar radiation) in the context of sustainable development, we developed the Urban Plants Decision Support System (UP-DSS) for assisting plant selection in urban areas with diversified solar radiation. Our methodology mainly consists of the solar radiation model and calibration, the urban plant database, and information retrieval model. The structure of UP-DSS is also presented at the end of the methodology section, which is based on the platform of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Microsoft Excel. An application of UP-DSS is demonstrated in a residential area of Wuhan, China. The results show that UP-DSS can provide a very scientific and stable tool for the adaptive planning of shade-tolerant plants and photoperiod-sensitive plants, meanwhile, it also provides a specific plant species and the appropriate types of plant community for user decision-making according to different sunshine radiation conditions and the designer's preferences.

“…American chestnut appears to have intermediate shade tolerance ( Joesting et al 2008) and medium drought tolerance (NRCS 2014). Because it is not clear which aspect is most favorable for growth, we did not associate aspect with growth for this species.…”

Forest health is affected by multiple factors, including topography, climate, and soil characteristics, as well as pests, pathogens, competitive interactions, and anthropogenic deposition. Species within a stand may respond differently to site factors depending on their physiological requirements for growth, survival, and regeneration. We determined optimal ranges of topographic (elevation, aspect, slope gradient), climatic (average temperature
