dataset_eml_abstractheader

    Inventory of the urban forest in Winooski, VT, in three land use classes - residential, commercial/industrial, and public. In partnership with the Winooski Natural Resources Conservation District, 70 randomly-located plots were identified. Data collected and analyzed by i-Tree Eco provide information on the relative abundance and importance of different tree species, air pollution benefits, net carbon sequestration, stormwater mitigation and other information useful for valuing and managing Winooski's urban forest.
