How much forest has Jinzhou lost?
There was very little forest around Jinzhou in 2000, about 36 hectares, and about 4 hectares of it has been lost since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.

Causes for 2025 are estimates, based on what caused forest loss in the same places up to 2024.

- Overall change
- +242 hamore forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Jinzhou grew from about 871 hectares to 1,110 hectares, a net gain of about 242 hectares (+28%). New forest grew on about 248 hectares, while 6 hectares were lost.
These 2000 and 2020 maps, from the University of Maryland, count any land with trees taller than 5 m as forest, including plantations and orchards. Forest that was cut or burned and had grown back by 2020 counts in both years, so the loss here is smaller than the yearly figures.
These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.

What is the tree count in Jinzhou?
Jinzhou has an estimated 24,033 trees across the 11.31 km² of land measured — 8.5% tree cover, 32 percentage points short of the 40% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Jinzhou need?
Jinzhou needs roughly 89,064 more trees to close a 32-point shortfall against its 40% tree-cover target — about 1,959 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Jinzhou's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality is measured by ground monitoring stations near Linghe District, via OpenAQ; the 7-day trend is the Open-Meteo / CAMS model's estimate. Tree cover is measured from Sentinel-2 L2A (ESA Copernicus) via Earth Search satellite imagery at 10 m detail across a 2 km radius around Linghe District; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
