1 Using i-tree to Estimate Environmental Services Eric Kuehler Technology Transfer Specialist USDA Forest Service
2 Why do we plant trees in cities? Aesthetic beauty
3 What are Environmental Services? Services provided naturally with no direct costs Energy Conservation Shade / wind break Lower heat island effect Stormwater interception Reduced flow rate Help mitigate stormwater problems
4 What are Environmental Services? Pollution removal Particulate matter Soot Dust Gaseous matter NO 2, SO 2, O 3, CO Carbon Storage Stem Roots Carbon sequestration Removal of CO 2 from air
5 Other Benefits of Urban Trees Increased business income Increased property values Reduced asphalt replacement Traffic calming Natural UVA/UVB protection Safer walking environments Improved overall health Natural screen/filter Improved Quality of Life
6 How can we quantify these services and the value of urban trees to society?
7 i-tree Suite of public domain urban forest analysis and benefits assessment software Download via internet ( No cost Released to the public in 2006 Quantifies structure, environmental benefits, and monetary value of community trees Helps communities strengthen Urban forest management efforts Advocacy for maintaining its natural resources
8 i-tree Suite of Software Tools i-tree Streets Street tree cost/benefit analysis model i-tree Storm Pre- / Post-storm debris estimation model i-tree Vue Urban tree canopy / environmental benefits tool i-tree Eco Urban tree/forest structure, function, value model i-tree Hydro (new to Version 4) Stream flow / water quality simulation model i-tree Canopy (on-line tool) Urban tree canopy estimation tool
9 Desoto County i-tree Vue Project NW Mississippi; suburbs for Memphis, TN Increased erosion and stream impairment Due to increased impervious surface cover Increased non-attainment days Perceived decrease in tree canopy cover Due to increased development i-tree Vue used to get a quick look at forest canopy structure and estimated benefits
10 Desoto County i-tree Vue Project
11 Desoto County i-tree Vue Project Desoto County = 329,335 ac Developed = 13% Forest = 33.7% Wetlands = 7.6% Agriculture = 39.9% Water = 5.2% Other = 0.5% Barren land (rock, sand, clay) Grassland / herbaceous
12 Desoto County i-tree Vue Project Entire county 330,000 total acres Tree canopy cover = 30% Impervious cover = 3% Pollution removal annually CO 2 = 125,000 tons Ozone = 2100 tons NO 2 = 400 tons SO 2 = 175 tons PM 10 = 1000 tons Developed land cover class 43,000 total acres Tree canopy cover = 16% Impervious cover = 23% Pollution removal annually CO 2 = 9,300 tons Ozone = 150 tons NO 2 = 28 tons SO 2 = 14 tons PM 10 = 77 tons Canopy cover and benefits based on 2001 imagery
13 Desoto County i-tree Canopy Project
14 Desoto County i-tree Canopy Project
15 Desoto County i-tree Canopy Project i-tree Vue Tree canopy = 30% Impervious cover = 3% Water = 5.2% i-tree Canopy Tree canopy = 34% +/ Impervious cover = 6% +/ Water = 6.6% +/- 1.11
16 Desoto County i-tree Eco Project 290 random plots stratified by land use 1/10 th acre circular plots Inventory every tree on plot MS State Forestry Record distance and direction to buildings
17 Desoto County i-tree Eco Project Key findings Number of trees = 19 million Most common species Sweetgum (19%) Winged elm (12%) Green ash (5%) Loblolly pine (5%) Pollution removal = 3500 tons/year ($17 M/yr) Carbon removal = 167 K tons/year ($3.5 M/yr) Potential vegetative debris estimated for each municipality
18 i-tree Tools Conclusion So how can we use this information? Planning for future development Where to develop Developing green infrastructure policy Canopy cover goals Carbon storage and sequestration plans Pollution mitigation plans Stormwater plans Managing the forest to maximize benefits Natural disaster planning
