Abstract:
This data publication contains urban tree growth data collected over a period of 14 years (1998-2012) in 17 cities from 13 states across the United States: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and South Carolina.

Measurements were taken on over 14,000 urban street and park trees. Key information collected for each tree species includes bole and crown size, location, and age. Based on these measurements, 365 sets of allometric equations were developed for tree species from around the U.S. Each “set” consists of eight equations for each of the approximately 20 most abundant species in each of 16 climate regions. Tree age is used to predict a species diameter at breast height (dbh), and dbh is used to predict tree height, crown diameter, crown height, and leaf area. Dbh is also used to predict age. For applications with remote sensing, average crown diameter is used to predict dbh. There are 171 distinct species represented within this database. Some species grow in more than one region. The Urban Tree Database (UTD) contains foliar biomass data (raw data and summarized results from the foliar sampling for each species and region) that are fundamental to calculating leaf area, as well as tree biomass equations (compiled from literature) for carbon storage estimates. An expanded list of dry weight biomass density factors for common urban species is made available to assist users in using volumetric equations.
Purpose:
Information on urban tree growth underpins models used to calculate effects of trees on the environment and human well-being. Maximum tree size and other growth data are used by urban forest managers, landscape architects and planners to select trees most suitable to the amount of growing space, thereby reducing costly future conflicts between trees and infrastructure. Growth data are used to develop correlations between growth and influencing factors such as site conditions and stewardship practices. Despite the importance of tree growth data to the science and practice of urban forestry, our knowledge is scant. Over a period of 14 years scientists with the U.S. Forest Service recorded data from a consistent set of measurements on over 14,000 trees in 17 U.S. cities.
Supplemental_Information:
These data were originally published on 03/02/2016. The metadata was updated on 10/06/2016 to include reference to a new publication. Minor metadata updates were made on 12/15/2016. On 01/07/2020 this data publication was updated to correct a few species' names and systematic errors in the data that were found. A complete list of these changes is included (\Supplements\Errata_Jan2020_RDS-2016-0005.pdf). In addition, we have included a list of changes for the General Technical Report associated with these data (\Supplements\Errata_Jan2020_PNW-GTR-253.pdf).

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Modesto was the first city to be sampled (1998) and the growth equations are least representative of the region (InlVal = inland valleys). Sacramento is considered to be more representative of InlVal.

For more information on data limitations, see McPherson et al. 2016 (section “Data limitations and future research needs”).
Logical_Consistency_Report:
not applicable
Completeness_Report:
In \Data\TS5_Foliar_biomass_leaf_samples.csv, not all regions are listed because foliar samples were not collected in four of the reference cities (InlVal, InterW, PacfNW, SacVal - see \Data\TS1_Regional_information.csv for acronym definitions). Similarly, a few species that were measured for use in growth equations were not measured for foliar biomass.

In \Data\TS2_Regional_species_and_counts.csv, \Data\TS5_Foliar_biomass_leaf_samples.csv, \Data\TS6_Growth_coefficients.csv, \Data\TS8_Volume_and_biomass_eqns_from_rural.csv, and \Data\TS9_Biomass_density_factors.csv blank cells indicate there are no applicable data.

Species and Tree Sampling

Termed “reference city”, one city was selected for intensive study within each climate zone (Davey Resource Group 2010). Data were collected for a second reference city in the Inland Valleys climate zone, Sacramento, CA, because tree growth data were required for several ongoing studies. Criteria for selecting a reference city included 1) an updated computerized tree inventory with location information for each tree (20,000 to 250,000 street/park trees), 2) information to accurately age a sample of about 900 trees by the city forester, 3) large, old trees present in the community and, 4) an aerial lift truck available for one week to sample foliage.

The trees sampled in each reference city were obtained from the tree inventory. First, the inventory was cleaned to remove stumps, dead trees (shown as scheduled for removal) and vacant sites. It was sorted by species to identify the most abundant species for sampling. Approximately 20 of the most abundant species were selected for sampling in each city. Table S2 lists the number of trees of each species sampled in each city. The sampled species accounted for 50% to 95% of all trees in the municipal tree inventories (McPherson 2010). To obtain information spanning the life cycle of each of the predominant tree species, a stratified random sample was drawn. The sample was stratified into nine diameter at breast height (dbh) classes (3 inch and 6 inch classes: 0-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-18, 18-24, 24-30, 30-36, 36-42, > 42 inches). Thirty to 70 trees of each species were randomly selected to survey, approximately 5 to 10 trees in each dbh class. Smaller samples of 30 trees were drawn for small-growing species such as Prunus spp. and Malus spp.. Seventy trees were drawn for species with individuals represented in all size classes. An equal number of alternative trees were selected as replacement trees in the event that the originally sampled trees could not be located.

Although 30 to 70 trees were randomly selected for sampling each species, the final samples ranged from 22 to 79 trees. The lower number resulted when the original and replacement trees could not be located. The higher numbers occurred when the sample trees were actually in a different size class than reported in the inventory. These trees were measured in case viable replacements could not be found. In fact, replacements were found and sample numbers became greater than normal.

Tree Data Collection

Metrics recorded for each tree sampled included species, address/location, dbh (to nearest 0.1 centimeters [cm] by tape), tree crown and bole height (to nearest 0.5 meter [m] by clinometer or sonar measuring device), crown diameter in two directions (parallel and perpendicular to nearest street to nearest 0.5 m by sonar measuring device) (Table 2 in McPherson et al. 2016; Table S3). Observational information was recorded on crown shape, land use, distance and direction from nearest air-conditioned/heated building, car shade and conflicts with utility lines.

Tree age was determined from interviews with residents, the city’s urban forester, street and home construction dates, historical planting records, and aerial and historical photos. In two cases extra effort was required to obtain age information. Tree coring was used in Queens, New York City to estimate planting dates instead of relying solely on historical research. Unlike other cities, where streets are lined with trees of the same age because they were all planted at the time of development, street trees in Queens were of all ages because several episodes of planting had occurred. Dendrologists at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory’s Tree Ring Laboratory cored 150 randomly sampled trees to establish mean tree age. These trees represented a subsample of the original 910 sample trees. One to two trees in size classes 2 through 9 were cored for each species. Cores were analyzed in the lab and tree age established. Urban foresters provided tree ages for an additional 104 sample trees in dbh classes 8 and 9 (91.4-106.7 cm and > 106.7 cm), based on building records, and 34 trees in dbh class 1 and 2 based on planting records. These data were pooled with ring-count data to develop regressions based on the mean age for each dbh size class. Thus, the online data for Queens, NYC shows two sets of data, one for data directly collected from each tree and one for tree ages collected from a combination of coring a subsample of the measured trees and aging information provided by New York City Parks & Recreation. Although more accurate aging of trees is required for that region, equations relationships between dbh and parameters other than age reflect actual measured data.

Methodology_Description:
Foliar Sampling and Data Collection

For each species, one tree to three trees that were typical of species in age, size, and condition were selected for foliar sampling. One set of 10 random quadrat (a cube 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm) samples were taken from each tree: 3 from the lower one-third of the crown, 4 from the middle section and 3 from the top one-third. Within each crown stratum, at least one sample was from the outer, middle and inner portions. Leaves were clipped along the outside of the cube and each sample was stored in a labeled zip-lock bag. The bags were stored in an ice chest and shipped by over-night delivery to the cold-storage site in Davis, CA.

The foliar samples were processed to develop relationships between leaf area and foliar biomass for each tree species. The leaves in each bag were separated from stems and twigs, then weighed (fresh weight) and run through the leaf area meter to obtain the sample’s total surface area (leaf area). The foliage was returned to the paper bag and dried in an oven at 65°Celsius (149°Fahrenheit) for 3 days (72 hours minimum). On the fourth day the bag was removed from the oven and weighed (dry weight). The bag was returned to the oven and dried 24 hours, removed from the oven and weighed. If the bag weighed less than its previous weight it was returned to the oven and dried. This process was repeated until the weight no longer changed. The fresh weight, dry weight and leaf area were recorded for the foliar samples in each of the ten bags per species. Leaf area to dry weight and fresh weight to dry weight relationships were calculated for each species using standard descriptive statistics.

Process_Description:
Six models were tested for seven parameters at four weights. Predicted parameters included: using tree age to predict, dbh, using dbh to predict tree height, crown height, crown diameter, and leaf area. In addition, crown diameter was used to predict dbh for use with imagery and age predicted from dbh for use in backcasting. Models tested included four polynomial models (linear, quadratic, cubic, and quartic), as well as loglog and exponential. See McPherson et al. 2016 and Table S4 for equation forms. The bias-corrected Aikaike’s information criterion (AIC) was used to compare and rank the models because of smaller sample sizes (McPherson et al. 2011). The models with the “best” fit as indicated by having the smallest AIC were selected. The resulting best fitting model is listed for each measured species and region in Table S6 with the measured parameter, predicted tree component, model weight, equation name, coefficients to use in each model, minimum and maximum values to estimate between, mean square error, sample size, adjusted R-squared, the raw data range, and the degrees of freedom. The model weights are already accounted for in the equation coefficients.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
\Data\T9_Biomass_density_factors.csv: Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing an expanded list of biomass density factors for common urban species. Species without a specific equation and/or dry weight density factor are matched to known species. Below is a list of variables included in the data file.(blank cells = not applicable)

SpCode = 4 to 6 letter code consisting of the first two letters of the genus name and the first two letters of the species name followed by two optional letters to distinguish two species with the same four-letter code.

Scientific Name = Botanical name of species that needs to be matched.

Common Name = Common name of species that needs to be matched.

DW Density = Dry weight density factor (for Jenkins: see Jenkins et al. 2004; for DRYAD (Global Wood Density Database): see Zanne et al. 2009 and Chave et al. 2009). Resulting units are kilograms per cubic meter.

Matched Equation Species = Botanical name of species that has been chosen as the match.

Matched Equation SpCode = Species code (see SpCode) for the species that has been chosen as the match.

Eq Source = name of the source from which the equation was obtained.
