<p dir="ltr">Complete inventory of roadside trees in the coastal city of Limbe. Data collection is based on the US Forest Service i-Tree Manual and field guide. Parameters measured were tree diameter at breast height, identification of species, tree height, tree crown height, dieback, etc. These parameters help to estimate roadside trees' contribution to carbon sequestration, carbon storage, and surface runoff, both in ecological and monetary terms. The software used was i-Tree Eco version 6.2.</p>
