- Observation Public green spaces held 19% of the inventoried trees, after social and educational institutions.
- Observation Average tree diameter varied significantly, with street trees having an average diameter of 34.11 cm.
- Observation Average tree diameter in cemeteries was 79.28 cm, the largest of the compared categories.
- Observation Total aboveground biomass of the inventoried trees was estimated at 2,270.42 Mg.
- Observation The inventoried trees sequestered 1,299.53 Mg of carbon.
