We offer three TTree product variants, which differ in the measurement technology and in the presentation of the measurement results. The Talking Tree is thus suitable for different target groups with different focus.
TTree science
for scientists
Focus: tree physiology in correlation with environmental parameters, drought stress
Presentation: according to scientific requirements, tabular measurement data, advanced statistics
Measurement technology:
1 x sap flow and wood moisture sensor (also available as a long version for radial profiles) - for recording water transport in xylem tissue via the propagation of short heat pulses
1 x stem circumference sensor - for continuous and high-resolution recording of diurnal and seasonal stem variations
1 x soil tensiometer - for measuring the tension with which water is retained in the soil (up to pF4.2 permanent wilting point)
1 x soil temperature and soil moisture sensor - for measuring volumetric soil water content and soil temperature
1 x data logger or NBIoT-Box with tree attachment - for storage and further processing of dendrometer, xylem flow, soil tension and soil moisture data
1 x database system and data visualization
1 x solar panel or mains power supply
Optionally: 1 x leaf temperature sensor
TTree education
for scientifically interested people
Focus: ecosystem services and tree physiology
Presentation: simple and pictorial, with clear comparisons and thermal images + further statistics and info on sensor technology
Measurement technology: like TTree science, optional:
1 x weather station (parameters freely configurable)
1 x thermal imaging camera with additional RGB color sensor (for visualizing the cooling effects of shading and transpiration)
TTree public
Suitable for everyone
Focus: ecosystem services and urban climate
Presentation: simple and pictorial, with clear comparisons and thermal images
Measurement technology: like TTree education
