** Huang, ''et al''. (2017), developed an analytical model to compare rainfall interception rates between four deciduous tree species (white oak, Norway maple, green ash and cherry). The ratio of evaporation rate to rainfall rate was the most dynamic differing parameter amongst the trees selected. The study was able to provide some information on improved tree selection in urban environments.

** Kuehler, ''et al''. (2017), wrote a literature-review to help quantify the benefits of urban trees in stormwater management based on their ability to retain sizable amounts of annual rainfall in their crowns, slow the flow of stormwater runoff, increase infiltration capacity in urban soils, and provide transpiration of sequestered runoff. Tree canopy effectiveness is highest during short, low‐intensity storms and lower as rainfall volume and intensity increases.

** Kuehler, ''et al''. (2017) in their literature review found that urban trees can retain sizable amounts of annual rainfall in their crowns, delay the flow of stormwater runoff, substantially increase the infiltration capacity of urban soils, and provide transpiration of sequestered runoff. Tree canopy effectiveness is highest during short, low‐intensity storms and lower as rainfall volume and intensity increases.

** Li, ''et al''. (2017), developed a study to determine an effective means for leaf area density (LAD) estimation of a canopy of trees using LiDAR data and ground measured leaf area index (LAI) . Accuracy levels were high determining both characteristics of the tree stand and spatial resolution from their utilized voxel-based canopy profiling (VCP) should be used as an effective estimator of voxel size in this modal going forward.
