A Geographically Referenced Tree Inventory System for Microcomputers    (View PDF)

Robert C. Maggio

Abstract: A geographically referenced inventory was installed in the town of Highland Park, Texas. Field data were collected using aerial photographs to locate each tree in the field and tree characteristic data were recorded for all trees in the parks as well as all street trees. The locational data were digitized into the computer and characteristic data entered into a database manager. The database can be queried to locate a single tree, all trees on a block, a series of blocks, a park, or the entire town. All queries can result in a plot to the computer monitor or plotter. Characteristic data may be output to the monitor or printer. Business graphics output is also available with the database manager. Updates to the inventory include deletions, additions, and changes in characteristic data which can keep the inventory current.
