Public trees
The public tree dataset includes a listing of public trees on boulevards and public trees in parks, in the City of Vancouver and provides data on tree coordinates, species and other related characteristics. Private trees are not included in the inventory.Tree records that do not have coordinates data will not show up in the list. Data currencyThe dataset refreshes daily on weekdays. Tree attributes are updated on a regular basis but it may be several years between updates for some attributes. Priorities and resources determine how fast a change in reality is reflected in the data. The coordinates were originally provided by the 2016 Geospatial Data for City of Vancouver Street Trees project. Data accuracyTree attributes are updated on a regular basis but it may be several years for some attributes. Note: 0 value in latitude and longitude fields mean there is no related information available Websites for further informationStreet Tree BylawCity trees

The Christmas Tree Is One of the World's Oldest and Most Evergreen Traditions
Long before your living room's seasonal centerpiece, cultures around the world marked the darkest time of year with palms, pines, and other greenery.

TreeKIT: Measuring, Mapping, and Collaboratively Managing Urban Forests
As cities across the United States expand their stock of street trees to address a range of environmental sustainability goals, municipal foresters are increasingly turning to volunteers to supplement their tree care efforts. TreeKIT is a small non-profit organization that helps city dwellers collaboratively measure, map, and manage urban forests. Using TreeKIT’s mapping methods, volunteers are able to create spatially accurate inventories of street trees. In the process, volunteers learn to identify street trees and develop an effective appreciation for their local urban forest. The following article describes the TreeKIT mapping methods and ongoing efforts to scale these techniques for large, synchronous street tree census initiatives.

The SQLite R*Tree Module
An R-Tree is a special index that is designed for doing range queries. R-Trees are most commonly used in geospatial systems where each entry is a rectangle with minimum and maximum X and Y coordinates. Given a query rectangle, an R-Tree is able to quickly find all entries that are contained within the query rectangle or which overlap the query rectangle. This idea is easily extended to three dimensions for use in CAD systems. R-Trees also find use in time-domain range look-ups. For example, suppose a database records the starting and ending times for a large number of events. A R-Tree is able to quickly find all events that were active at any time during a given time interval, or all events that started during a particular time interval, or all events that both started and ended within a given time interval. And so forth.

Pacific kelp forests are far older than we thought - Berkeley News
The unique underwater kelp forests that line the Pacific Coast support a varied ecosystem that was thought to have evolved along with the kelp over the past 14 million years. But a new study shows that kelp flourished off the Northwest Coast more than 32 million years ago, long before the appearance of modern groups […]
