Regarding i- tree tool working

Post by chz188091 » Tue Nov 16, 2021 3:33 am

Respected sir/mam

I am a research scholar from India at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-D).
In my research work, I have been using i-tree eco software.
As per my research work, there is a requirement to understand the complete working, algorithm, and analysis it performs to generate the results.
So, it's a very humble request to provide me the same. I will be highly obliged.
Thanks in advance

i-Tree Eco is not a single simple model. Each of the ecosystem service estimates are based on a different body of research often spanning multiple peer-reviewed publications. Additionally, some of the models (air pollution removal and avoided runoff) operate on an hourly time step and are very challenging for users to replicate. The best place to start is the Understanding i-Tree document, https://www.itreetools.org/documents/65 ... nrs200.pdf. That document and the references it links to cover all of the i-Tree methods. Additional links and publications can also be found on our i-Tree Eco methods page, https://www.itreetools.org/support/reso ... -resources. You may also be interested in some of the international documentation which highlights adaptations made to the models so that they are applicable outside the US, https://www.itreetools.org/support/reso ... -resources.
Thanks for your interest in i-Tree.
