| Abstract: |
In October 2006 the City of Tampa's City Council directed the Parks and Recreation to oversee an ecological analysis of the city's urban urban forest resources. This report describes the methodology used to conduct the inventory and assesment; quantifies the change in overall canopy coverage 1996 to 2006; provides a three-dimensional description of the forest infrastructure and composition; and provides a detailed look into some of the economic and ecological values of the City of Tampa's urban forest. The outcome s from this study can serve as the basis for: enhancing the understanding of the urban forest's values, improving urban forest policies, planning and management, and providing empirical data for the inclusion of trees within environmental regulations. |
