Yes. Field data are necessary to accurately quantify the urban forest structure. Quantifying carbon, VOC emissions, energy effects, and other services require data on individual trees for accurate estimates. Using local field data along with local weather and pollution data sets provides a more accurate assessment of the local urban forest structure and services.
