Abstract:

This paper investigated urban tree structure and characteristics in two main transport corridors case studies, the Pacific Highway and the Parramatta Road in Sydney, Australia. In these case studies, the parameters explored were tree distribution, composition, canopy cover, land use based tree densities, DBHs, ground land cover, and oxygen production potential of urban trees. Pacific Highway had 40.3% tree canopy cover with an estimated 30,500 trees, while the same on the Parramatta Road had 9,580 trees with 14.2% tree canopy cover. Two case studies had shown significant variations in land use patterns and others. Raising awareness of the community and incentives and support from the government and other organisations are essential for understanding the importance of urban trees.
