Application of tree water use sensors to build a real-time urban forest management system

This thesis examines the mechanisms by which urban trees utilize water and the various factors that influence their water demand. The primary objective is to enhance the management of urban forests. By leveraging real-time monitoring techniques, this research develops tools aimed at optimizing irrigation practices and improving tree health in accordance with fluctuating weather patterns. The findings present practical solutions for city planners, facilitating the sustainability of urban forests, the enhancement of green spaces, and the bolstering of urban resilience against climate change, thereby benefiting both urban ecosystems and their communities.
