Street tree Indication of whether or not the mother tree qualifies as a street tree. A street tree is defined as a maintained-area tree, natural or planted, that is located within 8 feet of the edge of a maintained surfaced road. Street trees also include all trees located in the space between the edge of the road and sidewalk, or within a median strip between roads. A "clover leaf" interchange is not considered part of a median. Therefore, tree growing within a "clover leaf" interchange would only be considered a street tree if they were within 8 feet of the maintained road. In general, street trees provide shade, aesthetic values, or serve as a physical barrier between the street and adjacent property. These trees will generally have a visible, physical interaction with the street via its root system, overhanging branches, or proximity of the trunk. mtre.is_street_tree case coalesce(mtre.is_street_tree,'-1') when '1' then '`0001 Tree is a street tree' when '0' then '`0002 Tree is not a street tree' when '-1' then '`0003 Not available' else '`0004 Other' end

Tree maintained Indication of whether or not the mother tree is located within a maintained area. Maintained areas are defined as those which are consistently being impacted by mowing, weeding, brushing, herbiciding, landscaping, etc. Examples include, but are not limited to, lawns, maintained shrub beds, rights-of-way, and manicured park areas. Examples of unmaintained areas are overgrown lots, small wooded areas, and riverbanks. mtre.is_maintained_area case coalesce(mtre.is_maintained_area,'-1') when '1' then '`0001 Tree is in a maintained area' when '0' then '`0002 Tree is not in a maintained area' when '-1' then '`0003 Not available' else '`0004 Other' end
Tree riparian Indication of whether or not the mother tree qualifies as a riparian river/stream tree. Such a tree is one that falls within 30 feet of the edge (mean high-water mark) of a stream or river. If a stream is intermittent, or no water is running at the time of plot measurement, the stream must have a naturally developed stream bottom to be recognized as a stream. Lakes, ponds, holding basins, and wet lands are not classified as riparian zones. Man-made ditches and canals used to funnel storm water during periods of high rainfall are not considered streams. However, some stream segments, especially in urban areas, may occasionally have cement sides and bottoms, and these segments, that are generally part of a larger stream network, are considered to be a stream. mtre.is_riparian case coalesce(mtre.is_riparian,'-1') when '1' then '`0001 Tree is in a riparian area' when '0' then '`0002 Tree is not in a riparian area' when '-1' then '`0003 Not available' else '`0004 Other' end

Type of water The water body <1 acre in size or a stream <30 feet wide that has the greatest impact on the area within the accessible forest/nonforest land portion of the plot.
