| [[Tree]] clusters are another residential landscape alternative. They provide some of the function of forested areas by intercepting rainfall and allowing for [[evapotranspiration]] and [[infiltration]] of stormwater runoff. Tree clusters improve water quality, generate organic soils, absorb greenhouse gases, and provide shade for homes. Tree clusters require larger lot sizes and preferably no overhead wires. They can be planted as a standalone feature or part of a larger residential LID landscape. | | [[Trees| Tree]] clusters are another residential landscape alternative.
