Trees are assets that can provide a flow of benefits to people, wildlife, communities, and the landscape. Trees are an integral element of the natural capital in urban, peri-urban and rural environments. Some of the beneficial services that trees can provide include an improvement in air quality, habitat for wildlife, flood mitigation, erosion reduction, climate change mitigation, cultural significance, and recreation/amenity.
Tree-space can provide GIS based tree inventories so that tree owners can manage their assets and understand their resource. Some of the most basic information that would be included in a tree inventory are tree location, tree species, tree health, tree dimensions, potential risks, and any maintenance needs. The parameters of the tree inventory can be planned with the tree owner in advance of the field assessment. The information gathered during the field assessment can be utilized to inform the long term management of the tree population.
Additionally the data gathered in the field can be used to analyze the structure of the tree population and the benefits that the trees provide. Species diversity, composition of native and exotic species, age class structure, canopy cover, and forest health all determine the quality of the ecosystem functions and services provided by trees.
Tree inventories can be undertaken for small or large tree populations in urban, peri-urban or rural environments.
