New publication in the German journal “AFZ-DerWald” on our works on ecosystem services of city trees.

 

Researchers from the Earth Observation Center (EOC) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the Sachverständigenbüro für Luftbildauswertung und Umweltfragen (SLU) and our Earth Observation Research Cluster (EORC) of the University of Würzburg contributed an article titled “Estimating the ecosystem services of urban trees [Abschätzung der Ökosystemleistungen von Stadtbäumen]”. The article was just published [in German] in the journal AFZ-DerWald by Tobias Leichtle, Andrea Sofia Garcia de Leon, Thomas Rötzer, Klaus Martin, Stephan Pauleit and Hannes Taubenböck.  

 

Here is the abstract of the paper [translated to English]: Urban trees provide various ecosystem services, e.g. by reducing heat stress and improving air quality. Based on up-to-date Earth Observation data and methods, it is possible to detect, characterize and classify urban trees. The process-based tree growth model “CityTree” can be used to simulate ecosystem services for individual trees depending on their individual characteristics and environmental conditions. The combination of these techniques allows a comprehensive assessment of the ecosystem services of the entire urban tree stock.

Überwiegend werden eigene originäre Texte und Bilder des EORC genutzt, jedoch sind einige Inhalte von blog post Texten teilweise mit Hilfe von KI überarbeitet worden und einige Bilder sind ganz mit KI erstellt, die jedoch deutlich keine photorealistische Darstellungen abbilden. Aussnahmen sind KI generierte fernerkundliche Datensätze, die explizit für Forschungszwecke mit KI erstellt wurden, hier wird aber durch den assoziierten Text der wissenschaftliche Grund der KI generierten Bilder erläutert.
