Data for: Mapping of individual urban trees and relationships within informal settlements in Africa

This repository contains the identification results of individual urban trees in Africa (IUTAC-1) produced by Lian and Jiao, as well as the data and code required to replicate those results. Dataset (IUTAC-1) includes individual trees across 40 sampled cities in Africa. Global urban boundaries (GUB) in 2018 are used to delineate urban boundaries in Africa. In the 40 sampled cities, this study investigated the response of tree cover to the environmental conditions along the degree of urban informality, and estimated the potential impact of future urban expansion on tree crown cover. IUTAC-1 is a 1-m resolution map of individual tree crown cover.
