Urban Trees

Trees are indispensable elements to make cities livable environments for natural organisms and humans. This pre-project investigates the state of knowledge about the capabilities and prerequisites of urban trees.

BioVEINS - Konnektivität urbaner Grün-Infrastrukturen: Die lebendigen Adern gesunder Städte

Im Rahmen des europäischen ERA Net BiodivERsA-Programms werden im Projekt BioVEINS die Auswirkungen der lokalen und landschaftlichen Merkmale städtischer Grünflächen auf sieben taxonomische Gruppen in sieben europäischen Städten untersucht.
