DC 2022 LiDAR was used and processed using the \u201cExtract Trees using Cluster Analysis\u201d script which is included as part of Esri\u2019s 3D Basemap solution. All LiDAR-derived trees within 2 meters of a Urban Forestry Division tree were removed as being duplicates.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Tree diameter (DBH, in inches) was estimated for the LiDAR-derived trees from calculated tree height (in feet) based on the equation: DBH = 0.4003*height - 1.9557. This equation was derived from a statistical analysis of a detailed park inventory tree data set and has an R^2 = 0.7418.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Extreme outliers were also modified, with any DBH larger than 80 inches being converted to a DBH of 80 inches.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The combined data set was processed using the USDA Forest Service i-Tree eco software, where structure and environmental benefits were estimated.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This data set is a combination of Urban Forestry Division managed trees and tree locations from 2023, and estimated trees modeled using an automated feature extraction process applied to 2022 LiDAR data.
