Course Description:

This course provides a comprehensive guide to urban tree monitoring and assessment. The course covers the core variables necessary for field-based monitoring projects, including field crew identification, tree record identifier, location, species, mortality status, crown vigor, and trunk diameter. The course also covers the importance of understanding, managing, and improving urban tree resources in the context of stressors related to climate change, invasive species, and other issues. The course provides best practices and tips for monitoring urban tree canopy and land cover changes, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI) models.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will learn to Identify and describe the core variables necessary for urban tree monitoring and assessment projects.
2. Participants will be able to evaluate the importance of urban tree monitoring and assessment in the context of stressors related to climate change, invasive species, and other issues.
3. Participants will understand the use of AI models in estimating urban tree canopy and land cover changes.
