    The canopy cover Webmap of the United Kingdom’s towns and cities
    Lead Author: Kris Sales
    This paper summarises the results of Forest Research’s citizen science canopy cover webmap. Tree canopy cover was measured by contributors to the project in 5,749 urban wards in the UK using a random sample, manual image classification tool called i-Tree Canopy. The area-weighted mean canopy cover across urban areas in the UK was found to be […]

    Urban Forests in a European Perspective: what can the National Forest Inventory tell us?
    Lead Author: Natalie Marie Gulsrud
    This pilot project demonstrates that the NFI data, in combination with the DEGURBA approach, provides existing data on European urban forests. Now that we know what we have, there is potential to quantify and qualify the state and trends of European urban forests. Moving forward we can draw on existing policies and concepts such as […]
