All trees cared for by the City of Linz include information on genus, species, variety, height, screen diameter, trunk circumference, and tree type. The data provides geocoordinates in both the Austrian national coordinate system (EPSG:31255) and the WGS84 GPS reference system (EPSG:4326). It is published by Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Use Cases
- Urban canopy analysis based on tree genus, species, and location data.
- Green infrastructure planning based on tree height and screen diameter measurements.
- Ecological modeling and carbon sequestration estimates based on trunk circumference and tree type.
- Creating interactive maps for public information based on the provided geocoordinates.
Strengths
- Includes multiple tree metrics: height in meters, screen diameter in meters, and trunk circumference in centimeters.
- Provides geocoordinates in two standard coordinate reference systems (EPSG:31255 and EPSG:4326).
- Data is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
