The interactions between various components of the system influence the ecosystem service functions of trees of parklands (provisioning, regulating and supporting services) in several ways.
However, with the increased significance of biomass estimation since the Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997 [7], and thus, the enhanced awareness of the sequestration functions of trees, climate change issues, have made belowground biomass (BGB) more relevant.

Less known and acknowledged are the geomorphological functions of tree roots, although their importance has been widely referred to in soil studies, paleopedology, and paleobotany.
This paper presents basic information on the research, classification, and application of the functions of tree species and their communities (mainly forest) in Slovakia.
Logistic and multilevel regression analyses showed that tree survival, growth and thinning response (change of tree growth due to a thinning treatment) were functions of tree species, size, age, removed and remaining competition, as well as time since the treatment.
This effect could potentially result from the different allometry and functions of tree species, so that niches could be filled with a certain species, thereby creating more stand structure.
People's use of the functions of tree species and respective communities in the landscape is subject to the size of the specific human population, the natural conditions, the style of living, and, finally, the social, economic, and cultural development of a society.
In most instances they are appropriate because they offer direct estimates of C as functions of tree measurements, which are easy to measure and apply.
These models are functions of tree size variables (e.g. dbh, crown ratio, tree height), site variables (e.g. elevation, slope angle, dummy variables for Austrian growth districts, etc).
For more on height of functions on trees, and its generalizations, see [13].
