it_team4_FOREst 27 March 2021The functions of trees and woody plants in an urban area are manifold. They filter airborne bacteria, fungal spores, dust and other pollutants, provide shade. They regulate temperature, water table and humidity, and provide habitat for a variety of creatures. By rooting the soil, trees protect against erosion damage and increase the attractiveness of the environment.
As part of their course work, students were mapping the trees on the forest campus in Eberswalde. They calculated their biomass and anual carbon sequestration.
The maps below are presenting a tree cadaster of tree species on forest campus in Eberswalde
Maps and Data can also be found on the HNEE ARCGIS online server and the HNEE ArcGIS Online Map Journal.
