Case Study: Dendrological Construction Supervision in Rastatt

As part of the construction of the new municipal swimming pool complex in Rastatt, a park located between the canal and the river—an area with a high water table—is being redesigned. The planned excavation work requires the water to be pumped out, which will lower the water table and thus endanger the trees in the park. To prevent drought stress in the existing trees, the trees will be […]

A key question arises between preservation and intervention: How much pruning is necessary, and how much pruning is possible without weakening the tree? The Bavarian Palace Administration has investigated this question in collaboration with TreeSense using data-driven methods. The goal is […]

The experiment behind the time-lapse video of the lemon tree

Your browser does not support the video tag. In the time-lapse video, we can clearly see how a lemon tree wilts due to lack of water and then recovers after being watered. The time-lapse is not only beautiful to watch, but also serves as part of a series of experiments. The tree is equipped with sensors. This allows us to observe the relationship between what we […]

Case Study: Schorndorf Uses Sensors to Improve Irrigation Planning

The city of Schorndorf aims to make the maintenance of its urban trees increasingly digital and data-driven. In the future, technologies such as GPS-assisted route planning and AI-based software are expected to help organize workflows more efficiently and allocate resources more effectively. The use of TreeSense sensors to monitor water requirements and tree health marks the first step in this direction. Project Overview As part of the […]
