A simple GIS data for tree management in Universiti Putra Malaysia's arboretum

Tree location and tree attributes are valuable elements of municipal tree management systems. By creating the tree data in Geographic Information System, users have access to other digital data that can be used in conjunction with tree database. A study was conducted at the Universiti Putra Malaysia...
