This study evaluated 342 species and cultivars of shrubs and trees based on three leaf traits communicated through the CSR model based on Grime’s theoretical triangular scheme of Competitor, Stress tolerator and Ruderal plant strategies. The results provided an understanding and rationale for how species-specific selection for urban environments could be carried out.
