When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Steffen Walter Jun 24, 2020:
19th century spelling "Baumparthieen" is 19th century spelling, as is evident from the cited source (nowadays "Baumpartien").
Chris Pr Jun 23, 2020:
The context cited is clearly urban.. ...so I'm wondering what relevance "copse" or "thicket" could possibly have in that setting...?
Frances Bryce (asker) Jun 23, 2020:
Additional context Bruten im Bereich menschlicher Siedlungen sind weitgehend auf West- und Mitteleuropa, Dänemark, Südschweden, Norditalien und Mesopotamien beschränkt (1973 auch 6-10 Paare in Madrid, F.Purroy in Tomiaeojć 1976).
Die früheste Angabe über das Nisten am Rande von Ortschaften (Görlitz/ Oberlausitz) datiert von 1821 (von Uechtritz, Isis 1821).
Bald darauf meldete Gloger (Vollständiges Handbuch der Naturgeschichte der Vögel Europa’s 1. Breslau 1834), daß die Spezies sogar „große Gärten und Baum- parthieen in den größten und lebhaftesten Städten“ bewohnt.
Dies war in London bereits um 1834, in Paris spätestens 1841 der Fall.
Zu den bevorzugten Habitaten urbaner Populationen zählen Parkanlagen, Friedhöfe, Gärten, oft auch Straßenzüge eng bebauter Bezirke und Industrieanlagen.
Ramey Rieger (X) Jun 23, 2020:
Greetings Frances! Can we have the context, please? the sentences prior and following your sentence would be wonderful. The question arises as to when the text was written. Off the cuff, I would say 'copses', but need more information. Thank you!

Another alternative might be "tree stands", although this term may be slightly ambiguous to some...?

in which year

When you google Baumpartien, you come up with a number of pictures but not new ones
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Or copses, or thickets.

thanks Phil, copses works also fine, but a thicket is slightly different
agree David Moore (X) : Sounds more natural to me than "tree clusters"; I like copses too, but thicket implies undergrowth.
