Notes: Totals may not add up because of rounding.

a. Similar land uses with small areas have been aggregated.

b. The project distinguishes land uses with recently planted trees from the same land uses with mature trees for the purpose of computing the ESI score; here these land uses have been aggregated to their mature state and the corresponding ESI score is shown.
