Floral scents are key mediators of biotic interactions between flowers and various organisms such as pollinators, antagonistic animals bacteria. It has been shown that emissions floral volatiles influenced by with other at the levels roots, leaves flowers. However, it is largely unknown whether how epiphytic bacteria associated affect composition scent. By comparing sterile inoculated plants we found may add components, induce or reduce emission compounds, potentially catabolize others....
Research Highlights: This paper presents a cross-city empirical study on micro-climatic thermal benefits of urban trees, using machine-learning analysis to identify the importance several in situ measured tree physiognomy traits for cooling. Background and Objectives: Green infrastructure trees particular play key role mitigating heat island (UHI) effect. A more detailed understanding cooling potential specific is necessary support management decisions our progressively hot cities. The goal...
This paper presents an empirical study on urban tree growth and regulating ecosystem services along heat island (UHI) intensity gradient. The UHI effect the length of growing season association cooling shading with species, age, size trees was studied in Salzburg, Austria. Results show that areas a low differed from medium or high significantly three points: their bud break began later, leaf discoloration took longer, shorter. After leaves have developed, cool surface throughout whole by...
Citizen Science has grown rapidly over the last years in Austria.Since 2015 Network Austria and its associated online platform "Österreich forscht" (www.citizen-science.at)organizes an annual citizen science conference, where researches, practitioners interested citizens exchange experiences, discuss new methods connect to each other.
In this paper, we demonstrate environmental monitoring in a young citizen science project. The dynamics of urban tree phenology and microclimate regulation throughout the growing season is measured cross-city approach, along intra- inter-urban gradients for set most common species. We equipped trees five European cities with beacons that connect via Bluetooth to tailor-made app. app used phenological monitoring, display measurements, broadcast information on trees' microclimate-regulating...
