Meeting with the LfU Augsburg on nature conservation applications in the EO4CAM project

April 29, 2025

On April 28, 2025, a working meeting was held with the State Office for the Environment (LfU) in Augsburg as part of the EO4CAM project, attended by project team members from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the University of Würzburg. The focus was on the possibilities of remote sensing to support biotope networks and biotope mapping, i.e., to record trees, woody structures, orchards, and small-scale biotopes in open land and urban areas. There is particular interest here in the recording of linear woody features, rows of trees and avenues, orchard,s and urban trees using satellite and aerial image data. The participants discussed methods for improving data accuracy and possible application scenarios in nature conservation. As a potential user of the data products developed in the EO4CAM project, the LfU supports the optimization of the applications with valuable technical expertise and by providing definitions and data to promote the conservation of valuable habitats.

 

Treffen mit dem LfU Augsburg zu Naturschutzanwendungen im Projekt EO4CAM

Am 28. April 2025 fand im Rahmen des Projekts EO4CAM ein Arbeitstreffen mit dem Landesamt für Umwelt (LfU) in Augsburg statt, an dem Mitarbeitende des Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) und der Universität Würzburg teilnahmen. Im Fokus standen die Möglichkeiten der Fernerkundung zur Unterstützung von Biotopverbund und Biotopkartierung, also zur Erfassung von Bäumen, Gehölzstrukturen, Streuobstwiesen und kleinflächigen Biotopen im Offenland und urbanen Raum. Besonderes Interesse besteht hier an der Erfassung linearer Gehölze, Baumreihen und Alleen, Streuobst- und Stadtbäumen mittels Satelliten- und Luftbilddaten. Die Teilnehmenden diskutierten Methoden zur Verbesserung der Datengenauigkeit sowie mögliche Einsatzszenarien im Naturschutz. Als potenzieller Nutzer der im Projekt EO4CAM entwickelten Datenprodukte unterstützt das LfU die Optimierung der Anwendungen durch wertvolle fachliche Expertise sowie durch die Bereitstellung von Definitionen und Daten, um so den Erhalt wertvoller Lebensräume zu fördern.
