1 STRATUM: The who, what, when, where and how of street trees Paula Peper, Center for Urban Forest Research, Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service
2 Center for Urban Forest Research USDA Forest Service PSW Research Station Davis, CA Demonstrate new ways that trees add value - quality of life - to communities. We convert research results into financial terms to stimulate community investment in trees.
3 Traditional & Urban Forestry Adapted methods/terms from traditional Stand structure, growth rates, site indices Carbon equations/estimates Carbon protocols for California Climate Action Registry
4 Applications to Traditional Forestry Change in how U.S. looks national forests Increasing recognition that rural forests have environmental and economic benefits beyond timber/wood product and biomass production. Structure, function, value Functions are expanding New ways to assign value How will value change/influence management?
5 Street Tree Assessment Tool for Urban Forest Managers Who? STRATUM is designed for use by managers, foresters, tree non-profits, designers/planners, and landscape architects. What? STRATUM is a tool that provides users with the ability to evaluate tree populations and programs. Benefits and Costs
6 Why Street Trees? Accessible Urban heat island mitigation Canopy cover
7 Benefit-Based Based Approach Structure (What and Where?) Management (Why?) Value (What, how much?) Function (What and How?)
8 Investment Value Benefits Air quality Carbon Stormwater interception Energy savings Property value Costs Planting Care & Maintenance Infrastructure damage Liability Pest control STRATUM Research Benefits and Costs
9 Conserving Energy Northeast Region 40-yr large tree 130 kwh/yr cooling 3,662 kbtu/yr heating $72.48/yr
10 Reducing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Typical 40-year old large tree Idaho: Dbh 45 cm Net annual= 362 kg $2.67 NY City Dbh 40 cm Net = 288 kg $2.12
11 Improving Air Quality Ozone: 160 million people Particulates: 100 million people Large Tree NE vs. Interior West 2.6 lbs/year $ lbs/year $3.75
12 Reducing Stormwater Runoff Large 40- year old tree Northeast: 3,708 gal/yr $30 Interior West: 1,705 gal/yr $9
13 Priced Benefits Regional market prices elec/gas (ConEd, PeoplesNatGas, Boston Elect. Municipal Utilities) Carbon trading credits - CO 2 ($15/ton) Cost of controlling air pollutants (Wang and Santini) Retention/detention costs stormwater runoff Property/Aesthetics 1 % median residential resale price
14 Tree Expenditures Planting, pruning, maintenance Administrative
15 Infrastructure Damage Compendium of Strategies to Reduce Infrastructure Damage
16 Other costs Sewer Pest control Liability trip and fall, storm damage, vehicle accidents Catastrophic tree loss
17 Extensive Regional Differences Tree level Cost of resources Air quality monitoring Building vintages/climate Infrastructure/repair costs Liability issues Employee costs
18 Reference Cities
19 Reference City Research Collect data predominant reference city street tree species Analyze growth rates and dimensions Estimate magnitude of annual benefits Price benefits Price tree care costs Calculate net annual benefits, benefit-cost ratios 25 measurements per tree Diameter-at-breast-height Tree height Crown (bole) height, crown diameter Leaf area Utility lines Tree orientation and setback Condition and location Pruning level recommendation Grow space type and size Tree condition & maintenance Hardscape damage

37 Reference Cities capture many of the differences between U.S. regions itree STRATUM helps users begin benchmarking the health and sustainability of benefits of their street trees
38 STRATUM & Benchmarking What does this information mean? Benchmarking Comparisons (internal & external) Areas of success, need improvement Prioritize management & investment Baseline for future comparisons Compare program with similar cities Compare resources, budgets and outcomes
39 Indicators of Health and Stability Structure Species importance Age diversity Condition Management Planting Pruning Removal Conflicts Economic Expenditures Benefits Net benefits Benefit-cost ratios
40 Structure: Key Indices Stability Distribution of Importance Values among species Age distribution Condition
41 Importance Values Relative contribution of a species to the entire population due to numbers and SIZE Percentage of total tree numbers Percentage of total leaf area Percentage of total crown projection area Ranges from by species Why important? Influences stability Indicates reliance on functional capacity of each species Linked to benefits and indicates future trends

43 Age Diversity Percentage of total tree numbers by DBH class Ideal has 40% young, 30% maturing, 20% mature, 10% old Why important? Influences stability Influences short-term management costs and benefits Indicates future population trends and management issues
44 Management Needs Indices Planting: % full stocking Pruning: % safety and general prune Removals: % needed Conflicts: % sidewalk & powerline Why? Prioritize needs Budget for priority management Identify species that perform well and poorly in different sites
45 Management: Planting Needs Percentage of all street tree sites with trees (2 trees every 50-ft street is full stocking) Why is it important? How many trees can be planted Ability to increase net benefits How well treed our city streets are compared with others
46 Economic Indices Expenditures $/tree $/capita Benefits Net Benefits Benefit-cost ratios Why is it important? Evaluate return on investment Compare across categories Compare with other cities
