Theses on the topic of „Urban Trees“ (Bachelor-/Master-Thesis)
In cooperation with the Center for Urban Ecology and Climate Adaptation (ZSK) and the Chair for Forest Growth and Yield Science we offer thesis on the following topics:
- Influence of microclimate on cooling and growth of urban trees. Evaluation of long measurement series of urban tree laboratories
- Simulation of ecosystem services of an urban neighborhood in Munich and analysis of mitigation effects of the urban climate effect
- Growth and ecosystem services of selected central European cities based on tree cadastre data.
- Growth and ecosystem services of different tree species as a basis for app applications
- Influence of spatial structure (tree arrangement, tree dimensions, tree species) on growth and ecosystem services of urban tree stands
- Influence of artificial irrigation on growth and ecosystem services of important urban tree species.
- Conifers in the city

Comparative landscape photography - methods, case studies and findings for sustainable landscape development (Bachelor-/Master-Thesis)
Landscape photographs are important documents of the development of nature and landscape. Comparative landscape photography makes it possible to research past land uses and landscape structures and to evaluate them against the background of the changes that have occurred since then. This in turn allows conclusions to be drawn for sustainable planning action. Possible methods of analysis and comparative studies are to be carried out as part of final theses. Different thematic focuses can be set and various issues can be explored in greater depth.
The thesis are offered in cooperation with the International Association for Landscae Ecology - Chapter Germany (IALE-D).
