Twittering Trees

In cooperation with the "Natur digital begreifen" project, sensors and solarpanels were attached on a oak and a beech within the bird conservation area. The equiment was installed besides our cave- and nesting cameras with the help of a professional tree climber. The trees within the bird conservation area around Burbach are laying on approximately 510 m height. The sensors give the possibility to monotor the reactions of the trees on diffrent parametes like heat and drought. Every tree was equipped with a sap flow sensor and a dendorometer. With those sensors the sap flow and tree circumfence can be monitored in real time and high precision.   

On this website sap flow and tree circumfence can be observed with frequent updates:
