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. Naxçıvan leads here at 9.5%.
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: Al Mawşil al Jadīdah reads 42 (good) and Naxçıvan reads 35 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Al Mawşil al Jadīdah and Naxçıvan, answered
Which has more trees, Al Mawşil al Jadīdah or Naxçıvan?
Naxçıvan, with roughly 29,845 trees inside its 2 km radius against 1,885. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Naxçıvan has the denser canopy at 9.5%.
Which has better air quality, Al Mawşil al Jadīdah or Naxçıvan?
Naxçıvan right now, at AQI 35 against 42 — a gap of 7 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?
Al Mawşil al Jadīdah needs about 92,363 more to reach its canopy target, and Naxçıvan about 64,403. 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.
