The Storm Damage Assessment Protocol is a simple-to-use, yet highly flexible i-Tree Utility. It can be used to rapidly calculate and report tree damage and debris from storms, as well as estimate the associated costs. It combines three critical functions in a single package: a sampling method, a cal...

To restore your backup data from the SD card: 1) Go to your Start menu on your PDA, click Programs and then File Explorer. 2) In File Explorer click the drop down list at the top next to My Documents, and choose My Device. 3) Click the SD (or Storage) Card folder, where your backup file "iTree&...

Streets does not currently predict the future value of urban forests. However, if you created a mock inventory of your trees, including species and estimated diameter-at-breast-height (DBH) after 40 years, you could estimate future benefits in today's dollars.

Streets is not GIS-based or designed to be integrated with a GIS system. Streets does allow for GPS coordinates to be collected for individual trees if you are using a compatible GPS data collection device or manually enter coordinates. Therefore, i-Tree records could be exported out and brought int...

Benefit calculations are based on regionally specific tree growth measurements, hourly climate and air pollution concentration data, and building construction information. Because these factors can vary a great deal from region-to-region, users obtain more reliable results when using data from the c...

Eco processing is now automated in the U.S. and most of Australia and Canada. Therefore, i-Tree v5.x, users can expect Eco results back in 2 hours, depending on the server workload. International Eco project turn-around time may take considerably longer depending on data integrity issues and model/d...

Yes you can. Three files are needed by the UFORE Shell in order to be able to load the plots coordinates into the PDA. Notes 1) if there are no coordinates to import, the plot numbers can be simply entered through the Shell during new project setup. 2) the Manual asks for .doc files, but the UFORE S...

Results from Eco projects can help determine the effect of trees on aspects of the environment that are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts impose regulations that affect urban areas, the regulations affect urban development, funding, and mana...

Yes. The Eco model can analyze a data set that was collected using smaller or larger plot sizes than 1/10 acre. Results based on that data would have a certain standard error that depends on the number of samples and the variance from plot to plot. The errors below for total tree count have been pro...

Streets was developed for urban foresters, arborists, non-profit tree organizations, landscape architects and contractors, planners, environmental consultants, and anyone else with a vested interest in a community's urban forest.

Streets was designed to incorporate an existing street tree database where DBH (diameter at breast height) measurements and species are present for each tree. However, for communities without inventories, a complete or sample inventory can be conducted using the Streets PDA Utility. The Streets manu...

Streets was not intended for use outside of the United States of America because the software uses tree growth, climate and cost data based on reference cities in 16 different climate zones throughout the United States. In order to calculate tree-related benefits for your city, for instance, Streets...

Streets differs from other urban forest analysis software in many ways: • Streets is designed for analyzing street tree populations, not the entire urban forest. • It is intended to be utilized as a planning tool, going beyond the display of benefits accrued. • Local costs are incorporated along wit...

i-Tree Streets, originally STRATUM, uses growth curves modeled for significant urban tree species within each of 16 national climate zones, along with other regionally specific data: regional climate data, building construction and energy use patterns, fuel mix for energy production, and air polluta...

STRATUM (Street Tree Resource Analysis Tool for Urban forest Managers) is a street tree management and analysis tool for urban forest managers that uses tree inventory data to quantify the dollar value of annual environmental and aesthetic benefits: energy conservation, air quality improvement, CO2 ...
