We present benefits and costs for representative small, medium, and large deciduous trees and coniferous trees in the Interior West region derived from models based on indepth research carried out in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Net benefits increase with tree size and differ based on location. A large tree planted opposite the west wall of a building provides the greatest benefit.

Summary	Even as they increase the beauty of our surroundings, trees provide us with a great many ecosystem services, including air quality improvement, energy conservation, stormwater interception, and atmospheric carbon dioxide reduction.
