Adıyaman vs Khasnahzān
Tree cover and air quality for both, measured the same way: Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 m detail over a 2 km radius from each city centre, and the live US EPA air quality index. Same radius and same index, so the two numbers compare directly.
Adıyaman has more tree cover — 6.5% against 1.4%.
Adıyaman has cleaner air right now — AQI 28 against 56.

Reading these numbers
What is actually being measured
Tree cover
The share of ground under canopy inside a 2 km radius of each city centre, read from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery at 10 m detail. It is a measurement of that circle, not of the whole municipality — which is exactly what makes the two comparable, since city boundaries are drawn to wildly different rules around the world. Adıyaman leads here at 6.5%.
Air quality index
The live US EPA index, computed from current pollutant concentrations — ground stations where a city has them nearby, and a model everywhere else. It moves hour to hour, so this is a snapshot rather than a verdict on either place: Adıyaman reads 28 (good) and Khasnahzān reads 56 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Adıyaman and Khasnahzān, answered
Which has more trees, Adıyaman or Khasnahzān?
Adıyaman, with roughly 20,420 trees inside its 2 km radius against 4,398. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Adıyaman has the denser canopy at 6.5%.
Which has better air quality, Adıyaman or Khasnahzān?
Adıyaman right now, at AQI 28 against 56 — a gap of 28 points. This is a live reading rather than an annual average, so it can reverse within a day.
How many more trees does each city need?
Adıyaman needs about 73,827 more to reach its canopy target, and Khasnahzān about 89,850. The target is the same share of ground for both, so the figures are directly comparable.
Are these two measured the same way?
Yes — that is the point of the page. Identical radius, identical satellite source at 10 m detail, and the same US EPA index for air. Nothing here is adjusted for population, city limits or climate, so the numbers describe the same-sized circle of ground in each place.
