Yes - you can do this by accessing google earth with a kml file of your Canopy survey. The video begins this discussion right around 45:30.

Hello! You may add new species to the i-Tree Database here: database.itreetools.org/. There are also videos to guide you in using Database in our TH-cam Channel. Thank you!

@@i-TreeToolsthank you, but i want to add design proposal trees, so i dont know the tree trunk sizes but for itree eco trunk sizes are must so what shall I do

@@ankitakale5805 You may be interested in using i-Tree Design. Email us at info@itreetools.org and we can answer any questions you may have after checking it out.

Hi Ankita, i-Tree Eco can be installed on a 64 bit computer. Please review the system requirements for installing Eco here: www.itreetools.org/tools/system-requirements . If the issue persists, please send us an email at info@itreetools.org with screenshots of the installation error message.

@@i-TreeTools ok, thank you, I will check and let you know

For i-Tree canopy, no tree measurements are needed. The methods rely on photointerpretation of aerial imagery. MyTree, i-Tree Planting and i-Tree Eco do require direct measurement of trees.

Thank your for sharing!

Hi, there is no part 3 video uploaded but you can use the spreadsheet linked at the bottom of this page (canopy.itreetools.org/how-to-use) to complete calculate the statistics of a land cover change analysis . If you have any questions about the spreadsheet, reach out to us at info@itreetools.org.

Hi Lee, The benefits estimates provided by i-Tree Eco are informed by local weather and pollution data. If it is not important to you to have precise, localized estimates you can choose a representative weather station of your choice to get a general estimate for your country. Alternatively, you would get more accurate data if you completed separate projects and assigned local weather stations based on cities/regions in your country. It ultimately depends on your project goals. Thanks for your interest in i-Tree, Ana

If you are looking for a statistical comparison of the points you collected in your original survey and your change survey this spreadsheet tool should help, www.itreetools.org/documents/618/tree_change_calculator.2020.05.xlsx. If you have any trouble working with that spreadsheet please reach out to i-Tree tech support at info@itretools.org.

@@i-TreeTools This is great. Thank you so much.

@@i-TreeTools Hi again! This excel sheet is very helpful. However, I am not allowed access to viewing the formulas used in this excel sheet. It may not be appropriate to incorporate this program into my research without proper knowledge of the statistical math behind it. Is there any way to view the mathematical formulas behind the protected sheet (possibly by entering in a password)? Thank you.

@@rudydelsack1320 That spreadsheet is calculating a McNemar statistical test for change. You can find that test with a Google search and perform the calculations externally or using other statistical software to see if they match the spreadsheet we provided. This would likely be necessary to support any research publications anyway. The methods employed in that spreadsheet are the same ones used in this publication, www.itreetools.org/documents/558/Tree_and_Impervious_Cover_change_in_US_Cities_Nowak_Greenfield.pdf.

@@i-TreeTools Once again, thank you so much.

The full i-Tree Hydro playlist is here, th-cam.com/play/PLTpJ4X0F9py2qo0awHGrabIdkNu2fHuRW.html. Part one is listed there. Thanks!

setting up pilot/test projects is a good idea no matter the tool being used as it allows you to become familiar with the tool

That is an excellent dream. Do you have specific questions that we could possibly help you with?

I have degrees in masters in forestry and masters in ecology from Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, with a major in dendrochronology. Searching for a suitable university vis-a-vis scholariship in the US for phd. I am also serving as a Range Forest Officer at Government of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan.

@@munawarali733 I see, well we are here to offer help with the i-Tree tools, I wish you luck in your search for a scholarship.

Without funding there are no plans to build out i-Tree Design to work in other countries. It is possible to use i-Tree Canopy. It is also possible to provide location information through i-Tree Database that will make it possible to use i-Tree Eco for projects in Cyprus. Through i-Tree Database you can also provide precipitation, pollution and species information. I hope this helps, Erika

Yes, it should, email us at info@itreetools.org if you run into issues.

i-Tree Canopy has no way to store external images. Also, the image classification is completely user guided with no automation. We encourage users that would like to use their own imagery to replicate the i-Tree Canopy methods in an external GIS. For the scenario you describe you may be able to directly capture the total projected canopy then simply apply the i-Tree Canopy multipliers shown during project configuration to estimate projected ecosystem services and their associated monetary value.

If you are interested in using any of the i-Tree tools outside the US you can check out this webpage for recommendations and limitations, www.itreetools.org/support/resources-overview/i-tree-international. i-Tree Canopy can be used anywhere in the world to estimate amounts and changes in tree canopy cover. The scosystem service estimates and monetary valuations for most countries (excluding the UK and Sweden) will be based on US data. You will have to evaluate the applicability of those methods and results to your project.

Hello Tianhui Shi, It is not possible to import data for plot sample projects. Some users choose to import data for shrubs that have similar growth rates and mature structure as trees like into complete inventory projects. If you choose to do this and you want to track which ones are tree like shrubs you could use one of the custom fields to label them. These fields can be chosen when you configure your project. Then when you download results you could pull those out and consolidate their estimates separately from the trees. Best regards, Erika

Thanks for your interest in i-Tree. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to provide translations for all of our support materials. In certain instances we have received dedicated funding for translations or have had translations submitted by users. We have posted these translated materials here, www.itreetools.org/support/resources-overview/i-tree-international/support-language. If you have interest if providing voice-over translation of any of our videos please let us know. You can contact us directly at info@itreetools.org.

i-Tree Canopy can be used for estimating canopy and other cover types outside the US. However, the ecosystem service estimates are based on US parameters and characteristics and would not apply. i-Tree Eco can be adapted and used for projects outside the US. There are many countries and global cities where Eco is fully functional. See the following page for more info www.itreetools.org/tools/i-tree-eco

The Input>Records menu option will display all trees in a i-Tree Streets project. You can highlight and Delete individual records from there.

As a start, you can consider using i-Tree Database to add required data for a new international location to be integrated in i-Tree. See the Database webpage database.itreetools.org/#/splash or playlist for more th-cam.com/play/PLTpJ4X0F9py1NbACowxfyvdkVaAx5hdqW.html
