TY - JOUR T1 - A Summary and Forecast of Demand for Municipal Street Tree Service on Staten Island, New York JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO - JOA SP - 277 LP - 280 DO - 10.48044/jauf.2001.030 VL - 27 IS - 5 AU - James J. McCabe Y1 - 2001/09/01 UR - http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/27/5/277.abstract N2 - The objective of this study was to establish a reasonably accurate demand forecasting model for municipal street tree services on Staten Island, New York. Using the raw data gathered from years from 1996 through 2000, a chart and mathematical equation for anticipated monthly demand were derived for the year 2001. The development of the model was accomplished with simple arithmetic computations and computer-assisted regression analysis. Although occasional storm damage skewed some monthly figures, it is apparent that demand for public tree maintenance on Staten Island is decidedly seasonal and predictable. ER -
