As the volume of all TLS extracted trees could not be calculated confidently, AGB values are calculated using locally and Borough-wide derived allometry. It should be noted that AGB values are for inter-comparison purposes only and are not representative of likely AGB densities in a 1 ha area, for example, Malet Street is located in a highly developed area which is mostly devoid of trees

a Tree volumes are for QSM trees only

b 95% confidence level

c P. acerifolia wood density value used except for Highgate Cemetery where F. excelsior was more common
