Abstract

The aim of the project is to identify trails that are climatic, air-hygienic and healthy as possible - regarding the ozone formation potential. An isoprenoid register and tree genus cluster in sense of a “traffic light system” will be created, which can be used for different locations. For this purpose an application or software should be programmed at the end of the project that is applicable as a "climate isoprenoid navigation system“ for users and shows the "ideal" trail during autochthonous weather conditions - regardless of the location, supported by mathematical optimization. The focus of this review is on the group of isoprenoids, precursors of ground-level ozone, emitted by various trees in different concentration, and forest areas, where a high potential of isoprenoid formation can be found or where the ozone formation potential is correspondingly increased. While many benefits emanate from green infrastructure, plants can also have adverse effects on health, especially during autochthonous weather conditions, when people visit green spaces for recreation.
This project is integrated into the joint project "Ageing Smart – Räume intelligent gestalten". The project is funded by the Carl Zeiss Foundation. It addresses the baby-boom generation (1955-1969), whose entry into retirement age often confronts municipalities with the task of creating age-appropriate structures. The aim of the overall project is to develop a data-based decision support system that assists public actors in their planning processes.
