For the establishment of basic morphological, physiological and ecological characteristics and related environmental factors (climate, meteorology, air pollution, etc.) of the urban trees, in order to correct the i-Tree URFOE model parameters, making urban forest ecosystem services to quantify the monetary value of benefits closer to the actual situation in Taiwan. In cooperation with local governments and civil society, with reference to the use of i-Tree Eco's standard investigation procedures for domestic seed teacher training of volunteers. We promote the use of i-Tree tools and platforms, expand public participation in the investigation of the urban forest ecosystem structure and ecological assessments. This project would integrate and share information of urban forest study, in order to facilitate the subsequent development and construction of urban forest information management platform.
