We are visiting our study site in the forest. Under tall pine trees our technichian shows a station with a solar pannel that is used to send data collected on the site to an online dashboard.
Together we are looking at small oak seedings in mossy undergrowth that grow beneath the big pine trees to form a new forest generation. Some small oaks are tagged with numbered blue plates. Their size is remeasured every year. In the background one can see a station with sensors that measure air temperature, humidity and light intensity.
We dig up a soil sample to see how much organic material is present on the forest floor. One can see a small pit and one of our senior researchers feeling how sandy the soil is.
We were delighted to host a research exchange with colleagues from @CzechGlobe 🇨🇿 in Berlin! 🌍
We discussed forestry-focused remote sensing, explored opportunities for future collaboration, and visited study sites like the #sensorfield in Brandenburg. 🌲📡
Thanks for the great visit!
