I would like to ask a question: When I use i-Tree Eco and work with a "plot sample" project, is there anyway to import trees data and shrubs data directly into i-Tree Eco? just like "complete inventory" project?(there is an "import" button) Our forest data contains about 3000 trees and hundreds of shrubs, in excel(csv) form. It is hard (will take too much time)for me to type each tree into i-Tree Eco software. If I use mobile phone to collect trees data, it will also take too much time. However, there are many shrubs so that I can only choose "plot sample" rather than "complete inventory" project. i-Tree Eco helps me a lot with evaluating ecosystem service of urban forests, thanks a lot.
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
