Hi RT, Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of science involved here but, rather, informed judgment. For each climate zone there are approximately 20 or so trees modeled for growth and benefits; all other trees are matched to these using Species Value Assignments. The matching is already completed for a...

This calculator is currently in beta and is only operational for the Coastal Plains climate zone. There are plans to expand functionality to include all STRATUM climate zones,...

Technically, yes, as long as the plots are associated with xy coordinates and land cover categories and you have a land cover GIS data to which you can map your results. With regard to the land cover caveat, above, you are essentially mapping your UFORE output results to the appropriate land cover c...

Hi Graciela, Thanks for sending the screen capture; I have included it as an attachment incase others might benefit form this exchange. It appears that the syntax error comes from your local system: notice the error message which has “914,4” rather than “914.4”; the decimal has been replaced by a co...

The idea behind the Species Value Assignment is not to find exact matches. Rather, you are instructed to select the species from the list that most closely reflects the mature size, tree type, form, and family and genus relationships of the unmatched species code. For each climate zone, there are ty...

STRATUM's use is limited to street (right-of-way) trees. Using data from park trees, backyards, woodlands, etc in STRATUM will not produce accurate results. Therefore, as a general rule, if your interest is limited to only street trees, use STRATUM. If your study area includes other (non-street) tre...

Hi, Yes, it is likely that your database is not formatted correctly. The message would indicate missing data or incorrect formatting of the fields.
