i-Tree Management Utilities
In addition to the i-Tree urban forest assessment applications, i-Tree brings together several complimentary urban forestry management utilities based on U.S. Forest Service research and development. Some of these tools were originally designed to facilitate and support inventory data collection and management needed for i-Tree Eco (UFORE) and i-Tree Streets (STRATUM) projects such as the PDA utilities which are now integrated into the applications which they are associated with. More recent i-Tree Utilities developed by the Forest Service and their Cooperators provide analyses that go beyond the reporting features offered in i-Tree Streets & i-Tree Eco and offer users convenient tools which can compliment urban forest management planning and decision making. Click on the "Learn More" links to explore the features of the i-Tree Utilities. i-Tree Vue (beta)i-Tree Vue allows you to make use of freely
available national land cover data maps to assess your community's land
cover, including tree canopy, and some of the ecosystem services provided by
your current urban forest. The effects of planting scenarios on future
benefits can also be modeled. This program is a beta version, i.e., it is
still in development and feedback is appreciated. i-Tree Stormi-Tree Storm - Storm Damage Assessment
Protocol - Provides a standardized method to assess widespread storm damage
in a simple, credible, and efficient manner immediately after a severe
storm. i-Tree Speciesi-Tree Species - Aids users in selecting
proper species given the environmental tree functions they desire. Mobile Community Tree Inventory (MCTI)Mobile Community Tree Inventory (MCTI) - A
legacy utility which is a basic tree inventory application that allows
communities to conduct tree inventories and analyses at various levels
of detail and effort. MCTI functionality has been merged with STRATUM
in i-Tree version 3.0 and is called i-Tree Streets. This information is
provided for users who are still using previous versions of the stand alone
MCTI utility. |
