The historic linden trees in Nymphenburg Palace Park dominate the landscape—but a growing mistletoe infestation is taking a noticeable toll on them. 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 addressed this question in collaboration with TreeSense using data-driven methods. The goal is […]

Your browser does not support the video tag. In the time-lapse video, we can clearly see how a lemon tree wilts due to a lack of water and then perks back up 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 […]

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 will 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 […]

The FDR sensor is a sensor used to determine the volumetric water content in the soil. FDR stands for Frequency Domain Reflectometry. The sensor measures the soil’s ability to store electrical charge and uses this to determine the water content. What is charge storage capacity? Capacitors are used to store electrical charge. A capacitor consists of two conductors […]
