MarkWilliams@miamibeachfl.gov <br /> Project Dates 11/2013 – Ongoing <br /> <br />Location Miami-Dade / Miami Beach – Various Locations <br /> Project Budget/Fees $127,976 <br /> <br />Street Tree Inventory: E Sciences has conducted five phases of <br />street tree inventories for the City of Miami Beach. To date, <br />approximately 30,000 trees have inventoried; E Sciences is <br />currently preparing to conclude the City inventory with a final <br />phase. The work was conducted using sub-meter accurate <br />global positioning equipment. E Sciences provided the City with <br />an ESRI ArcGIS shape file. The work included assessing each <br />tree for its general condition and providing recommendations for <br />maintenance. <br /> <br />Greenspace Canopy Assessment: Using i-Tree Canopy and i- <br />Tree Vue, E Sciences assessed the extent of the City’s urban <br />forest canopy and the ecological services provided by the trees. <br />E Sciences estimated the canopy coverage for the City’s entire <br />urban forest, its parks and its rights of way using i-Tree Canopy. <br />It also estimated the percentage of available space remaining <br />within the City for additional tree planting. E Sciences used this <br />information to estimate the carbon sequestration and storage, as <br />well as pollutant removal being provided by the trees. <br />E Sciences developed a brochure for public education <br />documenting the information from the study. <br />
