TY - JOUR T1 - Assessing Canopy Cover Over Streets and Sidewalks in Street Tree Populations JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO - JOA SP - 270 LP - 276 DO - 10.48044/jauf.2002.040 VL - 28 IS - 6 AU - Scott E.

Canopy cover from public trees over streets and sidewalks varied between 4% and 46% by city zone, averaging 14% citywide. Consideration of land use, planting locations, and age distribution suggests that 25% coverage of streets and sidewalks is an attainable goal for typical city zones. ER -
