The study looks at the mortality of the trees planted in urban areas through various planting programs based in the Netherlands. The dimensions of a planting hole that are necessary to meet the tree's demands can be estimated based on the water balance and the nitrogen supply. In this paper, some examples are presented of dimensions calculated in this manner, with an emphasis on the supply of nutrients. The paper studies water consumption, nitrogen demands of the trees, soil structure and nutrients.
