Does the tree species affect air pollution removal in i-Tree Eco?
Different species have different leaf areas, which directly impact on air pollution removal estimates.
Does the software estimate the leaf area according to the tree species and geometric dimensions?

Re: Tree species and air pollution removal
Yes, species affects air pollution removal estimates.
The model estimates leaf area using species and crown measurements (height, width north/south and east/west, and percent missing.
