I have two datasets. One is city parcels and the other is a polygon of city tree canopy. How can I break up the tree canopy data based upon parcels to be able to calculate the tree canopy/parcel?

Thanks. When I run the Identity tool, it breaks up the canopy for each parcel but then the original parcel and the associated canopy are part of the same geometry so I don't know how to calculate the area just of the canopy to be able to determine each parcel's tree canopy.

I think what I need is a geoprocessing tool to break up the canopy based upon the parcels but that doesn't merge them. Thoughts?

What's wrong with the tabulate Intersection tool? It does exactly what you require.
