Science Briefly Explained - Bioresource Management

Organic residues are bioresources and managing them well provides many challenges. In this podcast, Axel Dürkop inverviews Phillipp Lüssenhop. Phillipp introduces the bioresource information tool (BRIT) and talks about how it can contribute to exploiting untapped potentials.
While you are listening, check out the interactive map below to get an impression of the BRIT.

This interactive map shows one of the datasets that are implemented in the BRIT: The roadside trees in Hamburg.
Hamburg is a very green city with hundreds of thousands of trees on public ground that are maintained by the city administration. Especially the trees next to roads need to be pruned regularly to keep the roads clear and safe. Additionally, the trees produce leaf matter that needs to be collected. That is a lot of organic matter to manage! When developing local bioresource management strategies, it is useful to use datasets like this one together with suitable models to create an inventory of all the bioresources in a region and learn about their amount and composition. Of course, trees are only one layer. This can be combined with other resources.
Currently, the map filters all roadside trees in the city district of Harburg, which is where the Campus of the Hamburg University of Technology is. Feel free to play around with the map and the filters! Please keep in mind that the dataset is very large and loading the whole thing takes very long.
Exploring raw data is just the first step. If you are curious and want to learn how to build your own complete bioresource management scenarios, check out the BRIT-Quests course.
Data Sources:
The tree data was provided by the Free and Hanseatic City Hamburg, Environment, Climate, Energy and Agriculture Authority (BUKEA) under the Data licence Germany – attribution – version 2.0.
