Abschlussarbeiten zum Thema „Stadtbäume“

Die Lehrstühle für Strategie und Management der Landschaftsentwicklung sowie Wald­wachstums­kunde der TU München kooperieren seit längerem in verschiedenen Forschungs­projekten zum Wuchs­verhalten und den davon abhängigen Ökosystem­leistungen von Stadtbäumen, um Kommunen bei der Ent­wick­lung ihrer Stadt­baum­bestände zu unterstützen.

Gemeinsam bieten wir in diesem Zusammenhang die nachfolgend beschriebenen Themen für Ab­schluss­arbeiten (Bachelor und Master) an:

  1. Growth and water relations of urban trees grown in different types of pots
    Importance of urban trees in relations to the microclimatic regulations, storm water management or carbon storage is well known. However, with immense pressure on alternative land uses and high heterogeneity, trees planted on different types of pots are getting more popular. The study will attempt to understand the growth and eco-physiological responses of two contrasting tree species planted on different types of pots and in the ground under four different treatments at Dürnast project site.
     
  2. Comparative analyses of stress tolerance of different urban tree species under different growth conditions:
    Importance of urban trees in relations to the microclimatic regulations, storm water management or carbon storage is well known. However, there is a particular knowledge-gap in relation to species selection on highly heterogeneous urban environment. The study will attempt to understand the tree physiology of two contrasting species planted in streets and part settings. This project will be part of a DFG funded project, which has already TREE Lab set ups in Munich at different settings for a detail data collection on a continuous basis. 
     
  3. Evapotranspiration cooling effect and physiological responses from trees grown in various urban squares:
    Ecosystem service provisions from different urban greenspaces are well documented. In this context, street trees and trees grown in different urban squares consist a significant portion of urban green infrastructure. However, there is a knowledge-gap regarding the quantification of ecosystem services and tree physiological responses grown in those stressful conditions. The study will attempt to understand evapotranspiration cooling and tree physiology of urban trees grown in various urban squares by collecting field data on leaf stomatal conductivity, chlorophyll analysis, leaf water potential and soil water content on sampled days during the growth period of 2021.

Bei Interesse an einem der Themen können Dr. Mohammad Rahman (ma.rahman@tum.de), Prof. Dr. Thomas Rötzer (thomas.roetzer@tum.de) oder Dr. Astrid Reischl (astrid.reischl@tum.de) kontaktiert werden.
