A row of trees consists of several trees arranged in a line, for example along paths, roads, field edges, or water. It often comprises at least three to five trees spaced at similar intervals from one another and forms a recognizable structural unit. The trees are often, but not always, of the same species.
Tree rows may have been planted intentionally or may have survived as remnants of a former avenue, for example, if a tree row was removed during road construction.
They structure the landscape, provide habitats and migration corridors for numerous animal species, and contribute to the connectivity of habitats.
