Urban trees play a crucial role in regulating the urban environment. Their carbon stock capacity and the importance of 3D information are increasingly recognized by urban managers. However, accurately characterizing urban trees and estimating their carbon stock is hindered by the complexity of urban landscapes and the structural and spatial tree diversity. Here the authors used RGB satellite imagery and locally sampled data to extract 3D information on urban trees in Dublin, Ireland, and to calculate their carbon stock.
