100 Practice Abstracts

Wood construction chains can be optimized to foster both rural development and urban transformation whilst being connected with sustainable forest management in Europe. Two full-scale medium-sized demo buildings are being constructed in Finland and France to integrate various innovative materials, products and components.



Objectives. The core idea is to enable the construction of a mid-sized building with the lowest possible surface of forest area. A series of innovative bio-based materials, products and constructive systems are jointly developed and tested by companies and researchers. A digital framework of the 'forest to building' chain and several regional innovation roadmaps are set up to explore how wood construction can create benefits for rural areas. The special feature of the project is that it integrates the full value chain: all steps from forestry, wood processing, intermediate manufacturing and building are included, to establish the link from raw materials in rural areas up to the high-end products in the urban environment. The activities of the project can be grouped into three main topics: 1. Rural development, 2. Sustainable wood construction, and 3. Digitalization and innovation.

The SIMWOOD project aims to increase the mobilisation of wood from forests and woodlands in Europe. The project reached out to stakeholders and regional initiatives with the aim of ‘waking up’ and mobilising forest owners, promoting collaborative forest management and ensuring sustainable forest functions. The project focused on seven general objectives: 1. Understand the current and future motivations of forest owners, 2. Promote forest governance and joint action of stakeholders, 3. Develop multifunctional forest management adapted to forest types, 4. Integrate forest ecosystem services while minimizing environmental impacts, 5. Establish improved adapted forest harvesting techniques, 6. Demonstrate collaborative regional initiatives and solutions, 7. Recommend tailor-made instruments to policymakers, 8. Encourage broad outreach and exploitation in EU regions.



The project involved 22 Regional Pilot Projects to test how well-adapted combinations of measures can contribute to increasing stakeholders’ capacity to mobilise more wood in the participating countries. Every Pilot Projects was to engage stakeholders and help them design projects targeted at particular issues and barriers to mobilisation. We then worked with them to evaluate the outcomes and impacts of their work. We also tested technical developments and the willingness of organisations to reconsider business-as-usual actions, which provided relevant outputs to encourage new practices and strategies. The main project results are summarized in a Pilot Projects guidance report, a Handbook for wood mobilisation in Europe and an EU Policy Brief.

SecureChain was a Horizon 2020 project, which focused on promoting market uptake of bioenergy in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) using an innovation voucher scheme



Secure Chain's objective was to promote a Sustainable Supply Chain Management practice that meets high environmental, quality and financial viability standards, tailored for local biomass suppliers, energy producers and the financial sector. In the process, the entire bioenergy chain was considered, and sustainability and financing were an integral part of the set-up. The specific objectives comprised, a) integration and optimization of local supply chains, b) high efficiency and low impact gain, c) supply sustainability, d) leveraging investments in bioenergy, and, e) implementation of future-proof bioenergy chains. SecureChain relied heavily on tested digital practices deminstrating organisational setups for information flows, biomass mobilisation and logistics, especially for a) the optimization of collaborative networks and joint implementation plans of local supply chains, and b) the application of risk assessment tools for the analysis of supply chains’ market opportunities, financing schemes and investor requirements.



This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 646457 for the period from 01.04.2015 to 31.07.2018.

Το SecureChain ήταν ένα έργο του προγράμματος Ορίζοντας 2020, το οποίο επικεντρώθηκε στην προώθηση της απορρόφησης βιοενέργειας από την αγορά σε μικρές και μεσαίες επιχειρήσεις (ΜΜΕ) χρησιμοποιώντας ένα σύστημα κουπονιών καινοτομίας.



Ο στόχος του Secure Chain ήταν να προωθήσει μια βιώσιμη πρακτική διαχείρισης Εφοδιαστικής Αλυσίδας με υψηλές προδιαγραφές σε ότι αφορά πρότυπα περιβαλλοντικής ποιότητας και οικονομικής βιωσιμότητας, στοχεύοντας σε τοπικούς προμηθευτές βιομάζας, παραγωγούς ενέργειας και παράγοντες του χρηματοπιστωτικού τομέα. Μοναδικά χαρακτηριστικά του έργου ήταν ότι εξετάστηκε ολόκληρη η αλυσίδα βιοενέργειας και η βιωσιμότητα και η χρηματοδότηση ήταν αναπόσπαστο μέρος της μεθοδολογίας του έργου. Οι συγκεκριμένοι στόχοι περιλάμβαναν: α) ολοκλήρωση και βελτιστοποίηση των τοπικών αλυσίδων εφοδιασμού, β) υψηλή αποδοτικότητα, γ) βιωσιμότητα εφοδιασμού, δ) μόχλευση επενδύσεων στη βιοενέργεια, ε) υλοποίηση μελλοντικών ανθεκτικών αλυσίδων βιοενέργειας. Στη διαδικασία οργανωτικών ρυθμίσεων για ροές πληροφοριών, στη κινητοποίηση βιομάζας και στον τομέα των logostics το SecureChain βασίστηκε σε μεγάλο βαθμό σε δοκιμασμένες ψηφιακές πρακτικές για α) τη βελτιστοποίηση συνεργατικών δικτύων και κοινών σχεδίων υλοποίησης τοπικών αλυσίδων εφοδιασμού και β) την εφαρμογή εργαλείων εκτίμησης κινδύνου για την ανάλυση της προσφοράς ευκαιρίες αγοράς αλυσίδων, συστήματα χρηματοδότησης και απαιτήσεις επενδυτών. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/el/content/small-a… Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12fVngAI3os

The RecAPPture mobile and web application is intended for owners and manufacturers of discharged wood products for sale, purchase, lease or purchase.



With the planned demolition of decrepit buildings, significant amount of wood suitable for further use roof can be obtained. Cascading use of wood prolongs its lifespan and further storage of CO2 bounded in the wood. Demand for products from discharged wood is increasing and there a problem with ensuring sufficient quantities of suitable used wood occurs. Owners of such wood are often unaware that they can hand it over or sell it to a company that will make a new product out of it. For this purpose, in cooperation between the company M Sora and the University of Primorska, a mobile application and a web interface RecAPPture were developed. It enables the owners of used wood to submit their offer on discharged wood. The application enables a quick exchange of information regarding the availability of the quantity and type of used wood between the provider and the interested company.

Mobilna in spletna aplikacija RecAPPture je namenjena lastnikom in proizvajalcem izdelkov iz odsluženega lesa za njegovo prodajo, nakup, oddajo ali odkup.



Ob načrtni porušitvi dotrajanih objektov lahko predvsem iz ostrešja dobimo precejšnje količine lesa, ki s o primerne za nadaljno uporabo. S kaskadno rabo lesa se podaljša njegova življenjska doba in nadaljne skladiščenje v lesu vezanega CO2. Povpraševanje po izdelkih iz odsluženega lesa se povečuje, ob tem pa se pojavlja problem pridobivanja zadostnih količin primernega odsluženega lesa. Lkastniki takega lesa se pogosto ne zavedajo, da ga lahko oddajo/prodajo podjetju, ki bo iz njega naredil nov izdelek. S tem namenom je bila v sodelovanju med podjetjem M Sora in Univerzo na Primorskem razvita mobilna aplikacija in spletni vmesnik RecAPPture, preko katerega lahko lastniki odsluženega lesa oddajo svojo ponudbo. Aplikacija omogoča hitro izmenjavo informacij glede razpoložljie količine in vrste odsluženega lesa med ponudnikom in zainteresiranim podjetjem. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/sl/content/mobile-… Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz9OfJPHttU

The web portal Moj Gozdar is intended for finding suitable contractors for forestry services.



The significant increase in the number of forestry contractors in last few years has been increasing competition, however at the same time requires a reflection on the objective quality of contractors. In sustainable management of forests, the criterion for the selection of contractor should not be only the lowest service price, but it should include also environmental, social and business aspects of the relationship between the client and the contractor. Platform MojGozdar (MyForester) enables the integration of all stakeholders in the forest-wood value chain, including providers of forestry services, users of services (forest owners, forest managers) and administrators of basic data bases about business entities. It is a transparent and objective web-based information system for assessing the suitability of contractors, who perform work in the forest. The methodology for evaluating is consisted of an automatic assessment of the formal suitability of the forestry contractors and direct evaluation of the service by consumers.



Detailed description is available at http://www.crojfe.com/site/assets/files/4529/triplat_77-90.pdf Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/mojgozd… Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmcmyTl5JbQ

Forestry as one of the economic sectors incorporates several links in the complex forestry wood chain. From the technological point of view, the forestry links of the FWC are formed by a series of production processes, with which natural forest resources are converted into products and services. In the selection of separate machines and connection of individual links into series of production chains, the question of costs is certainly an important issue. Material costs of individual machines and the mandatory or optional accessories or attachments are key to the optimization of individual series of production processes. The application enables a simple selection of a technological model for the production of roundwood as well as green chips. With the selection of machines and their mandatory or optional accessories or attachments along the entire chain from the felling area to the final user, the costs are stipulated as well. Visualization of technological components along the forestry wood chains and presentation of costs enable optimization and easier understanding of otherwise very complex chains.

Monitoring of state and development of Slovenian forests



Within National Forest Inventory (NFI) forests of Slovenia are monitored and measured. NFI provides extensive and in depth survey of all slovenia forests, including informations about composition, condition, distribution and size of our forests. It is of great importance for monitoring changes of forests through time, for developing suitable policy measures and for further support of sustainable management of forests. The basis for the inventory is a systematic sample of plots on a 4km x 4km grid. The selection of inventory plots is based on the use of lidar and aerial images. With their help, plots that are not located in the forest are eliminated, and they are also helpful in assesment of forests at inaccessible plots. A special data acquisition application was developed for the purpose of field inventory. This guides the enumerator through the inventory process, and at the same time the data is already digitized and ready for further processing. The application is also connected to a GPE device, which allows the precise determination of the sampling point.

Spremljanje stanja in razvoja slovenskih gozdov



V okviru nacionalne gozdne inventure (NGI) poteka monitoring in premerba slovenskih gozdov. V okviru NGI dobimo podatke o sestavi, stanju, razširjenosti in velikosti naših gozdov. Ti podatki so pomembni za spremljanje sprememb gozdov skozi čas, za razvoj ustreznih ukrepov politike in za nadaljnjo podporo trajnostnemu gospodarjenju z gozdovi. Osnovo za popis predstavlja sistematični vzorec ploskev na 4km x 4km mreži. Izbor popisnih ploskev poteka na podlagi uporabe lidarskih in letalskih posnetkov. Z njihovo pomočjo se izloči ploskve, ki niso locirane v gozdu, prav tako pa so v pomoč pri ocenjevanju gozdov na nedostopnih točkah. Pri terenskem popisu se uporablja za ta namen razvita aplikacija za zajem podatkov. Ta popisovalca vodi skozi postopek popisa, hkrati pa so podatki že digitalizirani in pripravljeni za nadaljno obdelavo. Aplikacija je povezana tudi z GPE napravo, ki omogoča natančno določitev vzorčne točke. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/sl/content/nationa… Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l60ef3ZfEPw

DecectIT is forest fire detection device which detects fire by using different sensors and sends nottification to the application.



Fires in the Republic of Croatia are a big problem for forests, given that fire brigades have about 3.000 interventions per year. Average burned area per year is 14.278 ha of forest land. DetectIT provides information of the current situation in the forest area (level of temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide). Device secures fast information about the occurrence of a fire and provides all important data. Devices are located 100-300 meters away in the forest area and communicate with each other via radio waves. Communication between devices can reach even several kilometers so it is possible to cover very large area. Each device has one or more sensors. When the device receives an icreased concentration of flammable gas or smoke, it sends a signal to the other device about occurrence of a fire.



Currently, for sending notification about occurrence of fire, device uses 4G network. In the future for notification sending, it is planned to use the 5G network which can send notification in a shorter time period. Also, it is planed to spread the use of device i.e. setting device in households. Prototype of device is installed and tested on the forest area. Device is developed by high school students of Gymnasium Velika Gorica, Croatia. Group of students signed up on international competition and won 2nd place.

DetectIT je uređaj za detekciju šumskih požara uz pomoć različitih senzora, koji putem aplikacije šalje obavijest o lokaciji na kojoj je nastao požar.



Požari u Republici Hrvatskoj predstavljaju veliki problem za šume obzirom da vatrogasne zajednice imaju oko tri tisuće intervencija godišnje. Prosječna površina opožarenog područja godišnje iznosi 14.278 ha. DetectIT pruža informacije o trenutnom stanju na određenom šumskom području na kojem je postavljen uređaj (stupanj temperature, razina vlažnosti te ugljičnog monoksida). Uređaj pruža korisnicima brze informacije o pojavi požara i druge važne informacije.



Uređaji su postavljeni u šumi na 100-300 metara udaljenosti i međusobno komuniciraju pomoću radio valova. Komunikacija između uređaja može biti i do nekoliko kilometara tako da je moguće uređajem pokriti veliko područje. Uređaj ima jedan ili više senzora pomoću kojih uređaj detektira povećanu razinu zapaljivog plina ili dima i šalje signal drugom uređaju o pojavi požara.



Trenutno za slanje obavijesti o pojavi požara uređaj koristi 4G mrežu. U budućnosti za slanje obavijesti planira se korištenje 5G mreže koja može poslati obavijest u još kraćem vremenskom razdoblju. Također, planira se proširenje namjene uređaja, tj. postavljanje uređaja u kućanstvima. Prototip uređaja instaliran je i testiran na šumskom području.



Uređaj su razvili srednjoškolci Gimnazije Velika Gorica, Hrvatska. Grupa učenika prijavila se na međunarodno natjecanje i osvojila 2. mjesto. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/hr/content/detecti… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOQJutva2dc

A single electronic register of Ukrainian timber. The system enables to track the timber origin and it represents digitally the supply chain from forest to the buyer at the first processing facility.



Electronic timber tracking is a single electronic register of Ukrainian timber. Permanent forest users are obliged to electronically tag each log (or in case of firewood each batch) enabling to establish the legality of its harvesting, namely: description of the log, place and time, name of the team that carried out the procurement, transport document. Thus the system digitally represents the supply chain from forest to the buyer at the first processing facility. Electronic timber accounting has been implemented in Ukraine in phases since 2009, and is still running. At first the system was used only by permanent users under the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine (SFRA) and since 2020 it becomes obligatory to all permanent forest users in Ukraine.



Technology, equipment and software come from Latchbacher (AT) and are adapted to the Ukrainian conditions. For foresters, as key users, the system decreases the time to register, process and report on sales of unprocessed timber. At the same time, it is also freely accessible for the general public on the website. Anyone can track the legality of timber origin knowing the number of the tag, or invoice number, or truck license plate. As of December 2019 electronic timber tracking is carried out by 504 enterprises. In total, more than 3,700 mobile users are connected.

Електронний облік деревини – це система фіксації та оформлення руху деревних ресурсів із застосуванням засобів автоматизації на всіх етапах лісозаготівельних робіт.



Під час лісозаготівель вся деревина маркується бирками, що мають штрих-код. Завдяки внесенню інформації з бирки до КПК, по кожному сортименту фіксується об'єм, характеристика сортименту та ділянка, на якій деревина була заготовлена. Тепер дуже швидко і без зайвих паперів кожна колода отримує бирку із усіма параметрами, які внесені у КПК майстра лісу, що дає можливість чітко простежити рух кожного сортименту, починаючи з лісосіки. Після фіксації лісопродукції биркою, відбувається обмін між підприємством та центральним сервером галузі. Таким чином лісівники мають реальну картину про лісопродукцію, яка переміщається з лісу на підприємство.

Таким чином, система в цифровому вигляді представляє ланцюг постачання від лісу до покупця до першого підприємства.

Електронний облік деревини впроваджується в Україні поетапно з 2009 року. Спочатку системою користувались лише постійні користувачі Державного агентства лісових ресурсів України ДФРА, поступово (з 2020р) вона стала обов'язковою для всіх постійних лісокористувачів в Україні.

Постачальник технології, обладнання та програмного забезпечення - компанія Latchbacher (Австрія).

Для користувачів система дозволяє скоротити час на реєстрацію, обробку та звітування про продажі необробленої деревини. Громадськість може відстежити законність походження ліспродукції за номером бирки, рахунка-фактури або номерним знаком вантажівки на сайті. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/ua/content/electro… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRIm0bWkzqM

EGGER commissioned in Romania both a recycling facility at the production plant and public waste wood collection points to enable local waste wood flows.



Egger Romania invested in resource saving technology and included recycling in the process. Up to 18% of the wood used in Romanian factories are recycling material. They process waste wood from furniture, pallets, wooden packaging materials, construction and demolition, that meets the requirements of the applicable directives and inspection systems. The material is also inspected visually and contaminated wood is separated for thermal use. In Romania, the EGGER Group runs its own recycling enterprises under the name Timberpak.



Suitable recycled wood is processed there and used for chipboard production. Large volumes of by-products and recyclable wood are generated by the plants. The company upgrades them into materials or uses them to generate environmentally friendly heat and electricity. With EGGER wood-based materials, the company established good environmental performance of the urban wood material. The objective of a closed loop material cycle is, on the one hand, to reuse all waste and by products as efficiently as possible, and on the other hand, to make substances used in the product available again for production at the end of the product life cycle, by implementing optimal recycling.

InspectorulPadurii.ro is initiated by Ministry of Environment, Waters and Forests together with the Government of Romania with the aim to make transparent the wood harvesting activity, transport of wood in entire Romania.



The online portal is an automatic method for identifying illegally cut timber transports from Romania. The users are able to observe alerts from satellites indicating information and once every few days (between 2 and 7 days depending on the satellite) any change in the aerial image associated with the forest vegetation in Romania. The portal also accesses the SUMAL database of the Ministry of Water and Forests in real time. From this database, information is extracted to be processed in the internal system, about the enhancement documents on wood harvests, the locations from where the timber transports are loaded and the information related to these points.The permits on wood harvest became digitalized, therefore all harvesting activity can be checked by satellite monitoring while the transports must obtain a unique code before leaving the place of loading. This code is only obtained after the transport information has been entered into the system, including the location where the code was requested.

The portal, through further developments, also contains an API (set learned of rules), which allows automatic access to all information publicly presented on this portal (layers, transport coordinates and related metadata, enhancement documents, etc.), so that other interested actors can make analyzes that will lead to stopping illegal logging.

A sales platform, enabling customers to take part in a wood sale auction in a forest district online.



e-drewno system was created to enable customers to take part in a wood sale auction in a forest district without necessity of physical attendance. Currently, about 20% of all wood sold to enterprises by State Forests in Poland is offered on auctions on e-drewno.pl. After registration in the system and providing forest district nname the customer gets individual access, enabling participation in the auction. For practical reasons it is recommended to indicate the forest district which is located closest to the place of residence / running business activity. All the information exchanged online between the customer's computer and the server operating the auction is coded. When placing the offer it is registered and given position in the ranking, which depends on the proposed price. If the prices given are the same, the position is determined by an order of placing the offers registered by www.e-drewno.pl portal. During the auction each customer can place unlimited number of offers and modify earlier offers. Winning offers can be only modified to the following extent: wood weight, minimum wood weight, price (up only). In order to protect business data, participants in the auction cannot see the names of other companies taking part in the auction. The system is easy to use and administrate, includes a price calculator and offers access to reports. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/e-drewn…

Innovative R&D project developing odor-based system (electronic nose) based on sensors with high sensitivity and AI to monitor selected, particularly dangerous forest pests.



The threat of forests by various harmful microorganisms is growing due to changing climate conditions and spreading of non-native pathogens and pests. Simultaneously the relevance of biological methods of monitoring and preventing forest degradation is increasing in the face of the chemical’s use restrictions. The main aim of the project is the development of an innovative device (electronic nose/ e-NOS), based on a matrix of broad-band electrochemical sensors and neural networks that would detect and analyse the odor-based signals e.g. pheromones of certain insect species. The examples of pathogens and pests addressed in the project include Dendrolimus Pini (L.) and Phytophthora oomycetes.

The developed system delivers comprehensive and complex information which allows to create a neural classifier (using artificial intelligence). The dedicated software was developed to perform the analysis of the data and create a database – library of signals, which will allow to detect the analytes sought in the field.

Innowacyjny projekt B+R, którego celem jest zbudowanie systemu rozpoznawania zapachów (elektronicznego nosa) opartego na sensorach o dużej czułości oraz sztucznej inteligencji, służącego do monitorowania wybranych szkodników lasów.



Postępujące zmiany klimatyczne oraz rozprzestrzenianie się nierodzimych gatunków są główną przyczyną rosnącego zagrożenia degradacji lasów spowodowanej przez różne patogeny i szkodniki. Jednocześnie, w związku z ograniczeniem stosowania środków chemicznych, zwiększa się znaczenie biologicznych metod ochrony i monitorowania drzewostanów. Głównym celem projektu jest rozwój innowacyjnego urządzenia (elektroniczny nos/e-NOS), opartego o szerokopasmowe czujniki elektrochemiczne i sieć neuronową, które wykrywa i analizuje sygnały zapachowe np. feromony wybranych gatunków owadów. Przykładami patogenów i szkodników branych pod uwagę przy rozwoju e-NOSa dla leśnictwa są Dendrolimus Pini (L.) and Phytophthora oomycetes.



Powstały system dostarcza kompleksowych i złożonych danych, które pozwalają na zbudowanie, za pomocą metod sztucznej inteligencji, klasyfikatora neuronów. Opracowane zostało oprogramowanie umożliwiające analizę danych i stworzenie bazy danych – biblioteki sygnałów, które umożliwiają wykrywanie poszukiwanych analitów w terenie. Dla każdej z aplikacji przewidzianej w projekcie (analizy specyficznych zapachów) stworzona została dedykowana matryca sensoryczna. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/pl/content/forecas…

Forest growth simulators are essential tools for assisting forest management decision making. sIMfLOR was developed to integrate forest growth simulations for the main tree species in Portugal under the same interface where input files and outputs present the same structure regardless of the species.



sIMfLOR is a platform that integrates several simulators developed for the main portuguese forests species. The platform aims to encourage users from research fields, managers and forest owners to make use of the forest growth and yield models available for the Portuguese tree species in a user-friendly way. Different stand and regional level simulators have been integrated in a common environment alongside with other tools. The platform has been developed and continuosly improved over the years under the scope of several EU projects. The platform combines several simulators integrating growth models for the most relevant tree species in Portugal: eucalypt, maritime and umbrella pines, cork and holm oaks. Within sIMfLOR, simulators are grouped under stand level simulators and wide-range simulators (StandsSIM) that cover simulations from stand to regional level. sIMfLOR platfrom can be freely downloaded from the FCTools website after registering. This will enable the use of SUBER and the management driven StandsSIM (StandsSIM.md), both these tools allow simulating new plantations, an existing single stand and multiple stands. The scenario driven version of StandsSIM (StandsSIM.sd, former SIMPLOT) is only made available upon request.

Knowledge transfer platform for assisting forest owners in eucalypt' stands management



The project aimed at technical and scientific knowledge transfer encouraging the management of eucalypt plantations. A freely available user-friendly platform providing site specific prescriptions concerning the best silvicultural practices that takes edaphic, climatic and topographic characteristics into account was developed. In order to benefit from technical assistance, the forest owner has to be registered in the platform (trial-version available). First, he has to add his property by drawing it directly on Google Maps or importing a shapefile/KML. The next step will consist of property/forest characterization. Finally, has to specify if he wants to establish a new stand or maintain an existing one. After completed, a personalized technical prescription is immediately provided. The user can edit his list of properties or update the forests’ characteristics. When features are updated, the user can request for a revised technical prescription. A pdf file with the prescription can be downloaded or access can be directly granted to someone (e.g. forest manager). An additional feature allows users to consult possible restrictions of legal and/or environmental scope concerning forestry practices. This tool includes also an online library and other contents. By the end of 2021, the platform reached more than 43k visualizations, 10k users with 560 users registered in technical indications module; 3 patents were submitted. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/pt/content/knowled…

Plataforma de apoio técnico-científico à gestão de povoamentos de eucalipto

Neste âmbito foi desenvolvida uma plataforma gratuita e de fácil utilização capaz de fornecer indicações técnicas tendo em conta as características edafoclimáticas e topográficas locais. Para beneficiar da recomendação técnica, o utilizador tem de registar-se na plataforma (versão trial disponível para teste). Primeiro, precisa adicionar a sua propriedade delimitando-a no Google Maps ou importando um shapefile/KML. O passo seguinte consiste na caracterização da propriedade e ocupação (ex. idade, rotação, tipo de solo, topografia). Por fim, resta indicar se se trata de uma nova plantação ou da manutenção de um povoamento existente. Uma vez completados estes passos, a plataforma disponibiliza automaticamente uma prescrição técnica customizada em formato pdf. O utilizador pode acrescentar, eliminar ou editar as suas propriedades e solicitar uma nova prescrição técnica. Em alternativa, o utilizador pode conceder o acesso direto a terceiros (ex. a um gestor florestal). A plataforma permite, ainda, consultar possíveis restrições de âmbito legal e/ou ambiental relacionadas com a prática silvícola na propriedade. A plataforma inclui também uma biblioteca online, entre outros conteúdos. No final de 2021 contava com 3 patentes submetidas, mais de 43k visualizações e 10k utilizadores estando 560 registados no módulo de indicações técnicas. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/pt/content/knowled…

The "Melhor Eucalipto" project has the objective of communicating and sharing the best silvicultural practices for eucalyptus carried out by the pulp and paper industries and help improving management.



In 2015, eucalypt became the predominant tree species in Portugal and despite located in productive areas is often under insufficient/deficient management. The "Melhor Eucalipto" project, developed by CELPA, to promote good management practices for eucalypt stands through the organization of free roving Info Sessions to non-industrial private owners and the production of videos (~20) (www.celpa.pt/melhoreucalipto/category/videos/) and printable leaflets (~10) to be distributed or downloaded from the site (http://www.celpa.pt/melhoreucalipto/flyers/). To emphasize the impact of good management, the project comprises two side-by-side demonstration areas continuously monitored: one following the current management practiced by non-industrial forest owners and the other following the best recommend practices. The project also integrates an operational extension, the Limpa e Aduba Program (PLA), which offers landowners who apply technical support and the fertilization of their eucalyptus plantations, if they meet the eligibility criteria. In return, the owners are obliged to manage fuels and/or correct stand densities, in order to reduce the risk of fire, increase productivity and income, while promoting forest management and certification. At the end of the 3rd PLA campaign, about 3,800 owners have already benefited, corresponding to an area of 33,100 ha, mostly in smallholding plots.

O projecto "Melhor Eucalipto" surge com o objectivo de comunicar, partilhar e apoiar no terreno as boas práticas de silvicultura do eucalipto seguidas pela Indústria, contribuindo para uma melhoria da gestão do eucaliptal.



Em 2015, o eucalipto tornou-se a espécie florestal predominante em Portugal e embora localizado maioritariamente em áreas produtivas está frequentemente sob gestão insuficiente/deficiente. O projeto "Melhor Eucalipto", desenvolvido pela CELPA, visa promover boas práticas de gestão florestal através da organização de Sessões Informativas gratuitas e itinerantes direcionadas para proprietários privados não-industriais. No âmbito do projeto, têm-se produzido vídeos (www.celpa.pt/melhoreucalipto/category/videos/) e folhetos (http://www.celpa.pt/melhoreucalipto/flyers/) para distribuir ou descarregar a partir do site. Para evidenciar o impacto da boa gestão, o projeto integra áreas de demonstração sob monitorização continua: uma em que se aplica a gestão praticada pelos proprietários florestais não-industriais e outra que segue as melhores práticas. O projeto possui uma extensão operacional, o Programa Limpa e Aduba (PLA), oferecendo aos proprietários que se candidatam, apoio técnico e a adubação dos eucaliptais desde que estes estejam de acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade. Em contrapartida, os proprietários ficam obrigados a gerir os combustíveis e/ou a corrigir a densidade pretendendo-se assim reduzir o risco de incêndio, aumentar a produtividade e rendimento, promovendo a gestão e certificação florestal. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/pt/content/melhor-…

Small-size private-owned forest areas are common in Portugal in particular North of the Tagus River. Small patches of forest hinder proper forest management, often leading to increased unmanaged areas more prone to wildfires, pests and diseases. The Baixo Vouga Forest owners association has developed a program of forest area aggregation to tackle this problem by grouping of contiguous areas with the overall aim of facilitating management operations. This will consequently reduce the occurrence of hazards, improve and increase well-managed areas, increase return and motivate investment. To implement the program, at least 5 forest owners with at least 5 properties, summing-up no less than 10 hectares are rquired. Then a GPS-based inventory is carried out and a forest management plan is developed. The program is based on quota-based investments and revenues that will be distributed among those involved with the aim of increasing the engagement, motivation and appreciation of all the agents involved. So far, several areas have been aggregated covering different number of forest owners (e.g. Panasqueira, Águeda, 15 properties belonging to 12 forest owners were aggregated resulting in c.a. 11 thousand ha of forest planted and managed under the same forest management plan) and there are other, more ambitious, still ongoing (e.g. in Lavandeira, Vagos, 211 properties belonging to 138 forest owners were aggregated resulting in c.a. 73 thousand ha). Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/forest-…

Áreas florestais privadas de pequena dimensão são comuns em Portugal, em particular a norte do rio Tejo. Estas pequenas parcelas de floresta dificultam as atividades de gestão florestal adequadas, levando frequentemente ao aumento de áreas florestais não geridas, do risco de incêndio, de pragas e doenças. Para resolver o problema, a associação de proprietários florestais do Baixo Vouga desenvolveu um programa de agregação de áreas florestais. O programa promove o agrupamento de áreas contíguas com o objetivo de facilitar as operações de gestão florestal promovendo a redução do risco de incêndio, o aumento das áreas bem geridas, o retorno económico e o investimento florestal. Para ser implementado, o programa requer um número mínimo de 5 proprietários com pelo menos 5 propriedades, somando mais de 10 hectares. Segue-se um inventário baseado em GPS e o desenvolvimento do plano de gestão florestal. O investimento e as receitas são distribuídos entre os envolvidos com base em quotas com o objetivo de aumentar o envolvimento, motivação e apreciação de todos os agentes envolvidos. Até à data, já foram agregadas várias áreas envolvendo differentes números de proprietários (exº Panasqueira, Águeda, 15 propriedades de 12 proprietários florestais totalizando 11 mil ha de floresta plantada e gerida sob o mesmo plano de gestão), e outras áreas, com agregações mais ambiciosas, ainda em curso (exº Lavandeira, Vagos, 211 propriedades de 138 proprietários florestais totalizando 73 mil ha). https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/pt/content/areas-f…

A platform where EUTR operators find utility tools for the Due Diligence



The portal LegnOk is based on the due diligence systems created by ConLegno and sealed by the UE. The portal is a flexible tool that offers the possibility to be guided while doing the three phases 3 (Access to the informations. Risk analysis, eventual risk mitigation) of the due diligence. The operator completes the entire process within the portal framework and can print and use the printed report from it (report of the risk analysis) to state the process underwent by the operator. This report identify all the informative sources used in and by the system and can be provided to the authority whether a control or an audit happens. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/legnok

Il Portale Legnokweb si basa sul Sistema proprietario di Due diligence messo a punto da Conlegno e riconosciuto dalla Commissione europea. Il Portale è uno strumento flessibile che offre la possibilità di effettuare in modo guidato le tre fasi (Accesso alle Informazioni, Analisi del Rischio, eventuale Mitigazione del Rischio) della Due Diligence. L’Operatore che completa il processo all’interno del Portale può avvalersi dello stampato riassuntivo (Report Analisi del Rischio) per attestare il percorso che ha seguito per la propria Dovuta Diligenza. Tale Report indica le fonti informative utilizzate dal Sistema e può essere archiviato ed eventualmente consegnato all’Autorità Competente in caso di controllo. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/it/content/legnok

The project aims at testing the application of Blockchain technology in the frame of a PEFC certified supply chain. The solution can be applied both as part of the obligations of Due Diligence and in the PEFC Chain of Custody management.



The efficiency, security and inviolability of the blockchain system support forest certification and the forest-wood supply chain with a view to "ensuring certainty and informing according to truth". The Woodchain project involves, together with PEFC Italy and PEFC France, various Turin and Val di Susa realities: Replant Srl, Foodchain spa, La Foresta, Alta Val Susa forest consortium, F. Roche sas, Silva cooperative company and Kaboom Srl.

The purpose of the study is to test the application of blockchain technology as an innovative IT (information technology) solution for forestry and wood applications. This technology allows you to create and manage a large distributed database for managing transactions shared between multiple nodes on a network. The nodes represent the users or entities participating in the network, which contribute to the constitution of the actual blocks, each containing multiple transactions, connected together in the network, which allow decentralization and participation in the management of information and data.

Specifically, the project's objective is to strengthen trust and traceability along value chains, create an efficient and accessible sustainable forest management certification, and encourage the evolution of certification, data collection and impact measurement processes. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/woodcha…

Il progetto punta all'applicazione della tecnologia block chain alla catena di custodia e alla dovuta diligenza del mercato del legno



L’efficienza, la sicurezza e l’inviolabilità del sistema della blockchain vengono a sostegno della certificazione forestale e della filiera bosco-legno in ottica di “assicurare certezza e informare secondo verità”. Il progetto Woodchain vede coinvolte, insieme al PEFC Italia e PEFC Francia, diverse realtà torinesi e della Val di Susa: Replant Srl, Foodchain spa, La Foresta, Consorzio forestale Alta Val Susa, F. Roche sas, Società cooperativa Silva e Kaboom Srl.

Lo scopo dello studio è quello di testare l’applicazione della tecnologia blockchain come innovativa soluzione IT (information technology) per le applicazioni forestali e del legno. Questa tecnologia permette di creare e gestire un grande database distribuito per la gestione di transazioni condivise tra più nodi di una rete. I nodi rappresentano gli utenti o enti che partecipano alla rete, i quali concorrono alla costituzione dei blocchi veri e propri, contenenti più transazioni ciascuno, collegati tra loro in rete, che permettono la decentralizzazione e la partecipazione nella gestione delle informazioni e dei dati.

Nella fattispecie, obiettivo del progetto è rafforzare la fiducia e la tracciabilità lungo le catene del valore, creare una certificazione di gestione forestale sostenibile efficiente ed accessibile, e favorire l’evolversi dei processi di certificazione, raccolta dati e misurazione dell’impatto. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/it/content/woodcha…

This site contains information and training resources to help forest owners get to know and maintain the forest better, to preserve and enhance the natural wealth of a wooded heritage, and to learn about the various administrative procedures involved in managing a forest.



The platform "Je me forme pour mes bois" was initiated by CNPF in association with Fransylva and the training program FOGEFOR. The aim is to provide online pedagogical content and a training offer (field workshops, day events, videos, etc) to the forest owners and forest teachers. The pedagogical content is divided by themes, in order to cover all the tasks that forest owners must go through: assess the forest production potential, protect it and manage it via cuttings and other forestry works, sell wood, develop new services in the forest, carry out administrative tasks. The content is also divided into three levels of difficulty, depending on the user's profile and experience with forest ("discover", "learn", and "take action"). The site also contains videos and forest owners interview videos, as well as additional resources (books, journals, etc) to go further on certain topics. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/je-me-f…

Ce site contient des informations et des ressources d'éducation pour aider les propriétaires forestiers à mieux connaître et entretenir leur forêt, préserver et accroître le capital naturel d'un héritage forestier, et acquérir des connaissances sur les diverses procédures administratives impliquées dans la gestion d'une forêt.



La plateforme "Je me forme pour mes bois" a été initiée par le CNPF en partenariat avec Fransylva et le dispositif de formation FOGEFOR. L'objectif est de fournir du contenu pédagogique en ligne et une offre de formation (stages de terrain, journées à thème, vidéos, etc) destinés aux propriétaires et enseignants forestiers. Le contenu pédagogique est regroupé par thèmes, afin d'avoir une vision d’ensemble de toutes les missions du propriétaire forestier : déterminer le potentiel de production de sa forêt, l’entretenir par des coupes et travaux, vendre du bois, protéger sa forêt et développer d’autres productions ou services, réaliser les démarches administratives. Le contenu est également classé en trois niveaux de technicité selon le profil et l'expérience des utilisateurs ("je découvre", "j'apprends", "je réalise"). Le site contient également des vidéos témoignages de propriétaires, et des ressources complémentaires (ouvrages, revues,...) afin d'approfondir certains points. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/fr/content/je-me-f…

The Extrafor project aims to reduce the drudgery of logging by creating an exoskeleton adapted to the needs of manual logging.



The mechanization rate for harvesting hardwood stands is only 10% and mechanization in silviculture is very limited. Many operators report musculoskeletal disorders.The use of exoskeletons in the forest would make it possible to assist the operators in their work, it would make their task easier while aiming to preserve their health, without of course compromising their safety. It is a hybrid solution that combines the acuity of manual work with the strength and endurance of a machine, while obviously remaining affordable. Equipping field workers with ergonomic exoskeletons, adapted to work in the forest is an intermediate and complementary solution between mechanisation and manual work, allowing the unblocking of certain difficult situations. Seeking to increase human capacity instead of replacing it is also a way of meeting the various expectations of citizens (maintaining jobs in rural areas, social acceptability of forest sites) and of enhancing the value of work in the forest (and the sector) by promoting this type of initiative. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/extrafor

Le projet Extrafor a pour objectif de réduire la pénibilité du travail de bûcheron en créant un exosquelette adapté aux besoins de l'exploitation manuelle.



Le taux de mécanisation pour la récolte des peuplements de feuillus n'est que de 10 % et la mécanisation en sylviculture est très limitée. L'utilisation d'exosquelettes en forêt permettrait d'assister l'opérateur dans son travail, de lui faciliter la tâche tout en visant à préserver sa santé, sans bien sûr remettre en cause sa sécurité. Il s'agit d'une solution hybride qui combine l'acuité du travail manuel avec la force et l'endurance d'une machine, tout en restant évidemment abordable. Doter le personnel de terrain d'exosquelettes ergonomiques, adaptés au travail en forêt, est une solution intermédiaire et complémentaire entre la mécanisation et le travail manuel, permettant de débloquer certaines situations difficiles. Chercher à augmenter la capacité humaine au lieu de la remplacer est aussi un moyen de répondre aux différentes attentes des citoyens (maintien des emplois en milieu rural, acceptabilité sociale des sites forestiers) et de valoriser le travail en forêt (et le secteur) en favorisant ce type d'initiatives. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/fr/content/extrafor

The objective of the project is to provide a set of tools adapted to the needs of very small forestry and logging companies. ForLog is a forest site management software connected to a remote database accessible via the web. The software allows structured messages to be sent to field teams (mission orders) and customers (sales slips). A mobile application on a smartphone allows to enter data concerning construction site activities. The service offer is proposed to companies in the form of a subscription.



It is an innovative solution to improve the quality of silviculture and forestry operations accessible to very small, poorly computerized companies, and a solution that enhances the possibilities offered by the web, mobile Internet, computerized mapping.



All operations concerning the commercial (estimates, invoices), administrative (site declarations), operational (site maps, digitisation of exchanges between operators and site managers) and financial (site balance sheets) management of the sites are proposed by ForLog, which is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) adapted to the organisation of very small forest companies. The objective of the tool is to limit the time spent on site management and improve the economic performance of forest companies. User feedback highlights:

- Easy handling of the tool;

- Time saved during administrative tasks;

- Ability to quickly access summary data on team activities (working hours, productivity, progress);

- Significant savings in travel time to access construction sites and locate boundaries;

- Improvement of the company's image towards its partners. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/forlog

eMOBOIS is a platform facilitating the exchange of information between companies in the forest paper industry: forest contractors, wood buyers, transporters, sawmills, paper mills, other wood customers. It is based on the standardization of the data and IT language.



The use of IT tools is increasing in companies in the Forest-Wood sector. This computerisation goes hand in hand with an increased need for digital data. In this context, eMOBOIS offers a framework to facilitate the linking of IT systems belonging to each company, without interfering with their internal management processes. The founding element of the project is the standardisation of data and data exchange. The objective of eMOBOIS is therefore to facilitate the exchange of information between two companies involved in the wood procurement process. The use of a common language when exchanging information is proposed to avoid multiplying the development of computer interfaces. eMOBOIS focuses on the transaction of data from one company to another. There is no interference in companies' IT choices or in the processing of data by companies. The approach is compatible with the diversity of IT solutions encountered. The main benefits are time-efficiency, safety and reliability, a better productivity and communication between the stakeholders, and also a real-time update of the stocks. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/emobois…

eMOBOIS est une plateforme facilitant l'échange d'informations entre les entreprises de l'industrie forestière et papetière : entrepreneurs forestiers, acheteurs de bois, transporteurs, scieries, papeteries, autres clients du bois. Elle est basée sur la standardisation des données et des languages informatiques.



Les outils informatiques se développent de plus en plus dans les entreprises de la filière Forêt-Bois. Cette informatisation s’accompagne d’un besoin accru de données numériques. Dans ce contexte, eMOBOIS propose un cadre pour faciliter la mise en relation des systèmes informatiques. L’élément fondateur du projet est la standardisation des données et des échanges de données. L’objectif d’eMOBOIS est donc de faciliter les échanges d’information entre deux entreprises impliquées dans le processus d’approvisionnement des bois. L’utilisation au moment de l’échange d’un langage commun est proposée pour éviter de multiplier le développement d’interfaces informatiques. eMOBOIS se concentre sur la transaction de données d’une entreprise vers une autre. Il n’y a pas d’ingérence dans les choix informatiques des entreprises ni dans le traitement des données par les entreprises. La démarche est compatible avec la diversité des solutions informatiques rencontrée. Les avantages principaux sont un gain de temps considérable, une meilleure sécurité et fiabilité des échanges, une communication plus facile entre les acteurs, ainsi qu'une mise à jour en temps réel des stocks. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/fr/content/emobois…

RESOFOP (Observation Network for the Private Forest economy) is a national network that conducts surveys for forest owners, to get a refined knowledge on how they perceive their forest as well as the issue of climate change. The objective is also to identify what can be done to better adapt forest management to the changing climate. A national report is published each year.



Private foresters had a lot of quantitative data thanks to the data accumulated by the National Forest Inventory for more than 20 years, as well as information on the structure of the private forest thanks to the Ministry of Agriculture's survey in 1999. But they did not take into account the behaviour of forest owners. In 2009, the network for observing the behaviour of forest owners was launched by the CNPF and Fransylva, with the financial support of France Bois Forêt. The objective is to collect new information on the behaviour of forest owners, particularly regarding the management of their forests according to their forest area and the region where they live. In the surveys, the same behavioural trends of forest owners appear: sentimental attachment to their wood, environmental responsibility, heritage to be valued and source of economic income.



The main outcomes include so far:



Surveys carried out by telephone to owners of more than 4ha of wood cadastral land with a duration of 15min

2500 people interviewed throughout France during the surveys

Other surveys for specific studies at a more regional level (risk perception, climate change,...).

The results of the surveys make it possible to create new management tools for forest owners and new distribution media. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/resofop

Le RESOFOP (RESeau d'Observation économique de la FOrêt Privée) est un réseau national qui réalise des sondages et enquêtes auprès des propriétaires forestiers, afin de mieux connaitre leur perception de leur forêt ainsi que leur attitude face au changement climatique.

Les propriétaires forestiers disposaient de nombreuses données quantitatives grâce aux données recueillies par l'Inventaire Forestier National depuis plus de 20 ans, ainsi que d'informations sur la structure de la forêt privée grâce à l'enquête du ministère de l'Agriculture effectuée en 1999. Cependant, ces études ne prenaient pas en compte le comportement des propriétaires forestiers. En 2009, le réseau d'observation du comportement des propriétaires forestiers a été lancé par le CNPF et Fransylva, avec le soutien financier de France Bois Forêt. L'objectif est de collecter de nouvelles informations sur le comportement des propriétaires forestiers.

Dans les enquêtes, les mêmes tendances comportementales des propriétaires forestiers apparaissent: attachement sentimental à leur bois, responsabilité environnementale, patrimoine à valoriser et source de revenus économiques.



- Enquêtes réalisées par téléphone auprès des propriétaires de plus de 4ha de bois cadastrés, d'une durée de 15min environ

- 2500 personnes interrogées dans toute la France lors des enquêtes

- Autres enquêtes pour des études spécifiques à un niveau plus régional.

- Les résultats des enquêtes permettent de créer de nouveaux outils de gestion pour les propriétaires forestiers et de nouveaux supports de diffusion. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/fr/content/resofop…

The platform "La forêt bouge" was created by CNPF to help forest owners know their forest better and be empowered in its management. The services that are proposed are free to use and allow better wood mobilization.



The aim of the project is to propose a simple tool, free to use, with adapted services for the novice forest owners and allow the mobilization of wood from small private forests. Professionals in the forest and wood sector will also be able to access this tool in order to find information on the legislation and manage forest worksites by completing online procedures. The tool is used to facilitate forest management between forest owners and enterprises. Owners can locate their forest plots on an online map with a cadastre and then describe their stand using a question and answer system. They can also contact neighbouring owners using a form. An owner can request a quote online for forestry work from information on their stands. Professionals have the possibility to carry out their administrative procedures online. The owner follows the progress of his forest worksite on the platform. The module for estimating wood prices has an educational purpose in order to explain price formation. Finally it is possible to access a directory of professionals and publish an ad to sell or buy plots. All these services are on a national scale, but specific and regional information is provided to the forest owner. At the end of 2020, more than 3300 accounts had been created.

Le CNPF a créé la plateforme LaForetBouge afin de permettre aux propriétaires de se réappropier la gestion de leur bois, et de gagner en autonomie.



Le but de ce projet et de proposer un outil simple d’utilisation, gratuit, avec des services adaptés aux propriétaires forestiers novices, et de permettre la mobilisation des bois venant de petites parcelles de forêt privée. Les professionnels de la forêt et du bois pourront aussi accéder à cet outil pour trouver des informations sur la législation et gérer les travaux forestiers en complétant des procédures en ligne. Cet outil facilite la gestion forestière pour les propriétaires et les entreprises. Les propriétaires peuvent localiser leurs parcelles sur une carte numérique avec un cadastre et décrire leur station en utilisant un système de questions-réponses. Ils peuvent également contacter les propriétaires voisins grâce à un formulaire. Le propriétaire a également la possibilité de demander un devis en ligne pour des travaux forestiers, à partir des informations disponibles sur ses parcelles. Les professionnels ont la possibilité de réaliser leurs procédures administratives en ligne. Le propriétaire suit le progrès des travaux forestiers à partir de la plateforme. Le module d’estimation des prix du bois possède une visée pédagogique, afin d’expliquer l’établissement du prix. Enfin, il est possible d’accéder à un annuaire de professionnels, publier une annonce pour acheter ou vendre des parcelles. Tous ces services sont proposés à l'échelle nationale, et chaque propriétaire reçoit des informations spécifiques à sa région. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/fr/content/la-fore… Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGv7jcOEq6c

Climafor is a method and a software under development that allows the comparison of carbon balances from two silvicultural itineraries. It takes into account carbon sequestration in the forest, storage in wood products and the substitution effects generated by the use of wood (material or energy).



Taking into account the carbon issue in forest management is becoming more and more important in France, giving rise to research and development projects. The Climafor software responds to a challenge: to make carbon calculations easier to access and less time consuming. The data sources used (production tables, calculation coefficients) are now well known. Climafor integrates them into a single tool, which does not require any special training. The calculations are instantaneous and the results can be used directly in a forest carbon project. The calculations made by the software are based on production tables for each species and different coefficients from research. The software will be continuously improved by updating the different parameters and adding new tables. For the moment, it is being developed by the IDF (Institute of Forestry Development), the R&D branch of the CNPF. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/climafo… Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw5p22UFNwM

Climafor est une méthode de calcul de bilan carbone et un logiciel en cours de développement. Il permet de comparer les bilans carbone de deux itinéraires sylvicoles. Il tient compte de la séquestration de carbone par la forêt, le stockage dans le matériau bois et les effets de substitution découlant de l'usage du matériau/énergie provenant du bois plutôt que de sources fossiles.



La prise en compte de l'enjeu carbone dans la gestion forestière prend de plus en plus d'ampleur en France, donnant lieu à des projets de recherche et de développement. Le logiciel Climafor répond à une difficulté: rendre les calculs carbone plus facile d'accès et moins chronophages. Les sources de données utilisées (tables de production, coefficients de calcul) sont aujourd'hui bien connues. Climafor les intègre en un seul outil, qui ne nécessite pas de formation particulière. Les calculs sont instantanés et les résultats utilisables directement dans un projet carbone forestier. Les calculs effectués par le logiciel s'appuient sur des tables de production pour chaque essence et différents coefficients issus de la recherche. Le logiciel sera en amélioration continue par actualisation des différents paramètres et ajout de nouvelles tables. Pour le moment, il est en cours de développement par l'IDF (institut du développement forestier), la branche R&D du CNPF. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/fr/content/climafor Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw5p22UFNwM

Cross-Forest is developing a common platform for open forest data, and a cross-border data model (ontology) shared between Portugal and Spain, for the publication of forest inventories, maps and other forest databases in Linked Open Data format (LOD). Cross-Forest will provide a public endpoint exposing Forest Data, according to the produced model. The main goal is focused on keeping forest information always available and updated, to make exploitation easier for all stakeholders involved in forest management and research.

Two use cases are being developed:

CAMBRIC - to estimate the evolution of forests and wood quality, under different management scenarios

FRAME - to predict forest fires behavior and spreading through precise information on combustible materials, forestry maps and propagation models.

High Performance Computing (HPC) resources are employed due to the amount of data generated and managed, and to the complexity of the models.

Results so far show the usefulness and versatility provided by LOD technology, as It allows users to freely access and manage updated data to develop tools adapted to their needs and purposes. Publishing data as LOD allows Public Administrations to easily fulfil their requirements of transparence and publicity, optimize resources and keep a statistic control of the use of public data. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/cross-h…

Cross-Forest está desarrollando una plataforma común de datos forestales abiertos y un modelo de datos transfronterizo (ontología) compartido entre Portugal y España, para la publicación de inventarios forestales, mapas y otras bases de datos forestales en formato Linked Open Data (LOD). Cross-Forest proporcionará un repositorio público (endpoint) de publicación de Datos Forestales según el modelo producido. El objetivo principal se centra en mantener la información forestal siempre disponible y actualizada para facilitar su explotación a todos los agentes implicados en la gestión e investigación forestal.



Se están desarrollando dos casos de uso:

CAMBRIC - orientado a simular la evolución de las masas forestales y la calidad de la madera en distintos escenarios de gestión forestal.

FRAME – enfocado a la predicción del comportamiento y propagación de los incendios forestales a través de información precisa sobre materiales combustibles, mapas forestales y modelos de propagación.



Se emplean recursos de computación de alto rendimiento (HPC) debido a la cantidad de datos generados y gestionados, y a la complejidad de los modelos.



Los resultados obtenidos hasta ahora demuestran la utilidad y versatilidad que proporciona la tecnología LOD, ya que permite a los usuarios acceder y gestionar libremente datos actualizados para desarrollar herramientas adaptadas a sus necesidades y propósitos.

The general objective of the Prominifun operational group is the recovery, enhancement and revitalization of smallholding areas in rural forestry through the development of innovative solutions in land management to solve the problems resulting from land abandonment. This project arises from the need to solve the problem of land abandonment in small forest areas that cannot be cultivated under remunerative conditions.



Prominifun aims to develop a project to solve the problem of the valorization of small forest plots, as well as the abandonment of the territory in general and its consequences, such as the recurrence of forest fires and the loss of biodiversity. The solutions will be based on 3 pillars: efficiency, innovation and research, through the analysis of the structure of the property and its productive potential, and the management of abandoned areas and unknown property.



Therefore, the more specific objectives of the Operational Group are as follows:



- Promote a resource-efficient, economically viable, productive and competitive agriculture and forestry sector; low in emissions; climate-friendly and resilient to climate change; that works towards environmentally friendly production systems and in harmony with the essential natural resources on which agriculture and forestry depend.

- Create added value through a closer relationship between research and agricultural and forestry practices, encouraging greater use of available knowledge.

- Promote faster, more rapid and more widespread practical application of innovative solutions. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/promini…

El objetivo general del grupo operativo Prominifun es la recuperación, puesta en valor y dinamización de las áreas de minifundio en el medio rural forestal mediante el desarrollo de soluciones innovadoras en la gestión del territorio que permitan solucionar los problemas derivados del abandono del mismo. Este proyecto surge de la necesidad de resolver el problema del abandono de tierras en las superficies forestales que tienen reducido tamaño, y que no pueden ser cultivadas en condiciones remuneradoras.



Prominifun tiene como objetivo desarrollar un proyecto para solucionar el problema de la valorización de parcelas forestales de pequeño tamaño, además del abandono del territorio en general y de sus consecuencias, como la reiteración de incendios forestales y la pérdida de biodiversidad. Las soluciones girarán en torno a 3 pilares: eficiencia, innovación e investigación.



Por lo tanto, los objetivos más específicos del Grupo Operativo son los siguientes:



- Promover un sector agrícola y forestal que utilice eficientemente los recursos, que sea económicamente viable, productivo y competitivo; que tenga un escaso nivel de emisiones; que sea respetuoso con el clima y resistente a los cambios climáticos; que trabaje hacia sistemas de producción ecológica y en armonía con los recursos naturales esenciales de los que dependen la agricultura y la silvicultura.

- Crear valor añadido a través de una relación más estrecha entre investigación y prácticas agrícolas y forestales, fomentando un mayor uso del conocimiento disponible.

- Promover una aplicación práctica más rápida e implantada de soluciones innovadoras. Más información: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/es/content/grupo-o…

This project has created an updated cartography of the main forest species in La Rioja, collecting data such as the volume of wood, tree heights and vegetation structure for every 25x25m of land, with a very high level of resolution.



The Forest-LidaRioja operational group has been formed with the aim of developing a forest inventory and a fuel model map of La Rioja using remote sensing technologies. Among the main practical utilities, we can highlight the importance for improving sustainable forest management, since with accurate and updated data, better decisions can be made and actions in forest areas can be better planned. This project has allowed the development of methodologies and processes for the integration of different sources of information. These methods are supported by the development of algorithms that correlate by statistical methods precise terrain data with LiDAR data, requiring the realization of very well calibrated forest plots and measurements located with sub-meter precision in strategic points for each forest species and working area.

In KomSilva, tools for a goal-oriented and efficient discourse with forest owners are being developed. Target groups are stakeholders and organizations who activate and address forest owners. Mostly forestry associations should profit from the project, but also service providers and other stakeholders. Communication with forest owners is a key asset towards mobilization. Existing instruments are being adjusted and new tools like online-training, online-consulting concepts and social media strategies for consulting and communication are being created and already successfully tested.



Existing instruments for approaching forest owners and communicate with them are being investigated and evaluated according to their effectiveness. Thereby, a collaborative approach is being pursued. It comprises an advisory committee with experts from practice and an active involvement via interviews, a large-scale online-survey and workshops. Experiences in activating forest owners and in public relations are being collected and practicable factors of success are being identified. Arguments for the activation of forest owners are being developed to sensitize forestry associations also for the new task fields.

Digitalisation is becoming increasingly important in the forestry sector and the need for digital transformation is becoming ever clearer, especially in the forestry-timber supply chain, i.e. the value chain from the forest to the processing industry. In order for this transformation to bring about the greatest possible improvement in efficiency in economic and ecological terms for the actors involved, it is necessary to identify at which points and in which processes in the supply chain there is the greatest need for digital technology, or where this can be expected to bring the greatest benefits. Changes can range from optimised work processes to the emergence of new or modified business models. Core elements are the networking of relevant points and processes - also between the actors - and the creation of interoperability of applications and systems, many of which are already available but still mostly isolated.



The Wood Supply 4.0 project aims to identify the most beneficial digital technology possible and relies on qualitative methods to determine demand, on economic methods to assess the potential of digital technology, and on case studies to test the feasibility of individual technical approaches and to assess their effects. The aim is to explore in detail (a) where the operational potential of Industrie 4.0 lies in the optimisation of existing value creation processes and (b) where the strategic potential of Industrie 4.0 lies for the further development of existing or the development of new business models.

Digitalisierung gewinnt in der Forstwirtschaft zunehmend an Bedeutung und besonders in der Forst-Holz-Bereitstellungskette, d.h. der Wertschöpfungskette vom Wald bis in die verarbeitende Industrie, wird die Notwendigkeit der digitalen Transformation immer deutlicher. Damit diese Transformation für die beteiligten Akteure eine möglichst große Effizienzverbesserung in ökonomischer und ökologischer Hinsicht bewirkt, gilt es zu identifizieren, an welchen Stellen und bei welchen Prozessen in der Bereitstellungskette der größte Bedarf für digitale Technologie besteht. Veränderungen können dabei von optimierten Arbeitsabläufen bis zur Entstehung neuer oder veränderter Geschäftsmodelle reichen. Kernelemente sind die Vernetzung relevanter Stellen und Prozesse – auch zwischen den Akteuren – und die Schaffung von Interoperabilität von Anwendungen und Systemen.



Das Projekt Wood Supply 4.0 hat die genannte Identifikation möglichst nutzenbringender digitaler Technologie zum Ziel und stützt sich dabei auf qualitative Methoden zur Bedarfsermittlung, auf Methoden der Ökonomie, um das Potenzial digitaler Technologie zu bewerten, und auf Fallstudien, um die Umsetzbarkeit einzelner technischer Ansätze exemplarisch zu testen und ihre Wirkungen abschätzen zu können. Es soll im Detail ergründet werden (a) wo die operationalen Potenziale von Industrie 4.0 in der Optimierung bestehender Wertschöpfungsprozesse und (b) wo die strategischen Potenziale von Industrie 4.0 zur Weiterentwicklung bestehender oder zur Entwicklung neuer Geschäftsmodelle liegen.

Using the WASP's wood logistics platform, all actors involved in the forest and timber supply chain can improve the planning horizon to optimise the supply chain across companies.



The forest and timber industry is one of the leading industries in Germany, with 1.3 million people employed and annual sales of €181 billion. This sector is also characterised, however, by relatively low returns on its sales. Cost-reduction potentials can be realized if flows of material and informationare optimised. Using the WASP's wood logistics platform, all actors involved in the forest and timber supply chain can improve the planning horizon to optimise the supply chain across companies. Based on modern cloud technology, the WASP logistics platform seeks to interlink established software solutions with newly developed modules. It uses geodata to register and manage wood piles, and satellite navigation is integrated for use in timber transport. Wood piles can be captured by cameras, automatically geocoded, and transferred to the platform. In addition, the platform allows to handle dispatching with support for GPS (and in the future, Galileo) signals by retrieving vehicles' geocoordinates in real-time using mobile receivers, transferring them to the platform, and displaying positions and locations on a map. Integrated online map services like Navlog, OpenStreetMap (OSM), ArcGIS (ESRI), and Google Maps are also featured. The core advantage of WASP, meanwhile, is its integration of software applications that are already used in various sections along the entire value chain.

Die WASP Holzlogistiklösung unterstützt die Wertschöpfungskette Holz vom Forst – Waldbesitzer, Waldbesitzervereinigungen, Forstbetriebe – bis zum Händler.



Polter können in WASP abgebildet und alle relevanten Daten schnell und unkompliziert an die weiteren Akteure in der Supply Chain weitergegeben werden. Hierzu stehen mehrere Wege zur Verfügung: Direkte Eingabe über die benutzerfreundliche Weboberfläche von WASP, mobile Poltererfassung vor Ort mittels der App WASP Woodscout für Smartphones und Tablets oder, wenn Polter bereits mit einer dafür vorgesehenen Software erfasst sind, durch Importschnittstellen. Je nach Art des Polters (Rund- oder Energieholz) und der üblichen Lieferbedingungen entscheidet sich die weitere Vorgehensweise. So können die Polter direkt an das entsprechende Werk übergeben oder aber vordisponiert werden, d.h. die Spedition für den Holztransport wird ausgewählt. Dabei stehen viele Validierungsalgorithmen zur Unterstütztung zur Verfügung: Wenn z.B. ein Polter Holz enthält, welches aufgrund seiner Länge von keinem Fahrzeug des Spediteurs gefahren werden kann, warnt eine entsprechende Meldung am Bildschirm. Wenn ein Polter beispielsweise an ein Werk übergeben wurde, erfolgt eine automatische Benachrichtigung, sobald dieser abgefahren wurde. Wenn das Holz selbst zum Werk transportiert wird, können die Speditionsrolle in WASP übernommen und die Vorteile der Auftragsverwaltung und der manuellen bzw. vom Optimierungsmodul unterstützten Disposition genutzt werden.

Scanner is under constant development. A measuring device, mounted at the towing hitch of a car. Sensors collect values, to assess the road quality of unpaved, single lane roads. The system consists of ultrasonic sensors to scan the cross section of a road segment, acceleration sensors to get information about the longitudinal roughness and a GPS sensor for locating the information. After data collection, an open configurable software bundle (implemented as GUI modules in iFOS) allows individual settings for the single sensor thresholds and algorithms to adopt the system to the own road maintenance concept. Mounted at the car of the forest ranger an easy and frequent data collection is possible and provides an early and objective knowledge about the constructional decline of road segments. Maintenance costs can be reduced and reconstruction measures get execute mor accurate. A logical data interpretation of the sensor values is possible. The assignment of the sensors towards different decay expressions on the road surface was conducted and semi- automatically related to road quality segment classification. Results show, that a single manual optical assessment of road segments miss first phases of road decay and underlines the potential of such systems. Tests and calibrations of the road-scanner allows a good data interpretation for the set task. Many degrees of freedom of the scanner and the data interpretation still leaves some open research questions.

A forest cooperative society (FCS, in German Waldgenossenschaft) is a type of joint private forest ownership, which is generally termed community forest. As such, it is not to be confused with communal forest, which is forest owned by a commune or a town. Community forests have existed in Europe already for centuries in manifold traditional forms and have survived in many regions until today. The main characteristic of community forest compared to other forms of forest ownership is that the owners do not own a particular land parcel of a forest area, but an ideal share of the whole cooperative property, which can be understood as a share of a stock market.



Based on the unique legal framework of the Community Forest Act GWG of NRW, this special land consolidation achieves a legal merger of community forests and private owners into a larger forest cooperative society (Waldgenossenschaft) for the purpose of improving the conditions for forest management and administration, which goes beyond the readjustment of land parcels per single landowner. The degree of the merger and the benefits for collaborative SFM are thus enhanced compared to conventional land consolidations. Various supporting measures, such as road constructions, silvicultural improvements or landscape interventions are included to generate additional sustainable impacts in the region.

Waldgenossenschaften sind eine Form von gemeinschaftlichem Privatwaldbesitz, der allgemein als Gemeinschaftswald bezeichnet wird. Er ist als solcher nicht mit dem Gemeindewald zu verwechseln, der den Wald im Besitz von Gemeinden oder Städten bezeichnet. Gemeinschaftswälder haben in Europa in vielfältigen traditionellen Formen bereits seit Jahrhunderten existiert und haben vielerorts bis in die heutige Zeit überdauert. Das Hauptmerkmal von Gemeinschaftswald im Vergleich zu anderen Formen von Waldbesitz ist, dass der einzelne Eigentümer kein bestimmtes Grundstück einer Waldfläche besitzt, sondern einen ideellen Anteil am Gemeinschaftsvermögen, was mit einem Aktienbesitz vergleichbar ist.



Auf der Grundlage des Gemeindewaldgesetzes (GWG) in NRW wird in einer speziellen Flurbereinigung im Interesse einer besseren forstlichen Bewirtschaftung oder einer erleichterten Verwaltung ein rechtlicher Zusammenschluss von Gemeindewäldern und privaten Eigentümern zu einer größeren Waldgenossenschaft erzielt, der über die Neuordnung von Flurstücken pro einzelnem Grundeigentümer hinausgeht. Die Vorteile des Zusammenschlusses und der gemeinschaftlichen Waldbewirtschaftung werden dadurch im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Flurbereinigungen erhöht. Verschiedene flankierende Maßnahmen wie Wegebau, waldbauliche Verbesserungen oder Landschaftseingriffe werden einbezogen, um zusätzliche nachhaltige Effekte für die Waldbewirtschaftung zu erzielen.

Applications like forest inventory and forestry planning, planning of fellings, optimization of harvesting and accounting processes, improvements of timber logistic, evaluation of damaging events etc. are expecting a realistic virtual illustration of the real forest. Within this project the preconditions for building up a single central database – the Virtual Forest - describing the extensive area of North Rhine-Westphalia are constructed. This database contains a mathematical description of biological and technical aspects of the real forest in different detailing and different precision. Apart from available terrestrial data and a digital site classification, developed by the Landesbetrieb Wald und Holz NRW, the Virtual Forest is based on remote sensing data and information derived thereof. It applies newly developed algorithms on well-known data formats: for single tree identification laser data and aerial images are used, tree species classification uses images and area segmentation is based on raster and vector data. Thus, a comprehensive survey ranging from inventory to forest growth to logistics can be provided. The Virtual Forest provides all stored data in a new 4D geo-data infrastructure while using standardised interfaces. All data can also be used by third. Furthermore, a meta-data catalogue answers questions as “Which data of a certain area and/or to a specific subject are placed in which format, which exactness and which actuality at what costs at which place?” Appropriate safety concepts secure the data access as well as the data itself.

Comparison of silvicultural treatment concepts by simulating forest growth processes on the smartphone.



In the iWald project, a system is being developed enabling forest owners to obtain realistic and technically sound options for the sustainable management of their forests. The individual objectives of the forest owner (private, communal, state) are taken into account as well as the forestry risk minimization and the sustainable conversion of forests while safeguarding the economic, ecological and social forest functions. One of the main results of iWald will be the "iWald App", which can be used to simulate forest growth processes on a smartphone. This will be provided with different entry barriers, so that both the forest layman and the trained forester will find their access to iWald. The goals include activating forest owners, who can thus approach their forest on a playful level, or improving public acceptance of forestry interventions through the possibility of simple visualization of future consequences.

With two newly developed forwarder prototypes, five new and different modules were implemented and tested in the fields under varying production conditions within Europe. These modules are developed towards raising the productivity of the machine, improving the working conditions and lowering the ecological impact of the forwarding process. The modules contain a hydrostatic-mechanical transmission system (HVT, M1), a suspended cabin (M2), an energy regenerating and recuperating hydraulic crane (M3), a triple bogie axle for wet terrain, that can be used with or without tracks (M4) and a monitoring system to surveil and document the machine status to derive further information of production and environment (M5).



With the tests of prototype machines, the aims of development could be proven by the field tests, that were executed within the study. Especially the effect on the soils on sensitive areas, also without the use of bogie tracks, as it was tested on distributed bark beetle infested stands in Saxony, was one field of application where the advantages of tire-based working, longer bogie axle and high contact surface were positively assessed. With more experiences, the revelation of further advantages or limitations are expected. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/assessi…

Improvement of work safety through a new IT solution. A sensor node network connects to anyone involved (carrying such a node) and provides information about current danger situation over license-free band using Bluetooth low energy (BLE) .



Improved work safety through a sensor node network which connects to anyone carrying such a node and provides information about the current danger situation over a license-free band using Bluetooth low energy (BLE). For example: in a tree felling operation with a harvester which is supported by a forest worker, any person with such a little IT-device in his / her pocket (such as supervision personal, field forester, …) will get information about the position of the harvester and the work the harvester is doing. On the other hand, also the harvester has the information about these people. Risk alert warnings are sent to actors automatically, risk zones and risk status can be retrieved from actors, offenses of critical overlaps in risk safety zones are identified. The system is using u-Blox M8N GPS modules and map visualization on screens. The information gets translated to a danger situation depending on the individual work-situation (for example larger danger area when the harvester is cutting a tree than while driving). Communication of 150 - 700m, up to 9 slave nodes and battery allows 50h usage. GPS accuracy around 2.5m under forest conditions. The system may connect to a Cloud. This opens further data processing options, such as inclusion of passers-by via GSM-net or team-oriented data analysis for work-safety education needs.

Hackathons are a tool to stimulate cross-sectoral innovations of start-ups and students



A hackathon is a unique opportunity to get together with different people and work on exciting ideas together. Supported by mentors and experts, a prototype, code, concept or a business model for an innovative solution is developed within a very short time (e.g.: 24h) in a team. It is not uncommon for hackathon teams to stay on site overnight, working through the night and only sleeping a few hours here and there. This is part of the concept and so there are often rest rooms with sleeping facilities at the hackathon. At the end of the event, each team gets the chance to pitch their idea to a jury, which then selects the winning team. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/evergre…

Hackathon ist ein Instrument zur Förderung sektorübergreifender Innovationen von Start-ups und Studenten



Der Hackathon ist eine einzigartige Gelegenheit, mit verschiedenen Menschen zusammenzukommen und gemeinsam an spannenden Ideen zu arbeiten. Mit der Unterstützung von Mentoren und Experten wird innerhalb kürzester Zeit (z. B. 24 Stunden) in einem Team ein Prototyp, Code, Konzept oder ein Geschäftsmodell für eine innovative Lösung entwickelt. Oft bleiben die Hackathon-Teams über Nacht vor Ort, arbeiten durch oder schlafen nur hier und da nur ein paar Stunden. Dies ist Teil des Konzepts und deshalb gibt es beim Hackathon oft Ruheräume mit Schlafmöglichkeiten. Am Ende der Veranstaltung erhält jedes Team die Möglichkeit, seine Idee einer Jury vorzustellen, die dann ein Siegerteam auswählt.

Calculation tool for the establishment and operation of biomass trading centers.



Biomass Logistic and Trade Centres (BLTCs) are local or regional centres with optimised logistics and trading organization, where different woody bioenergy products (or heat) are marketed at standardised quality focusing on the domestic market uptake. It’s an innovative business model competitively operating as an intermediator to organise local woody bioenergy value chains between local biomass suppliers and customers of different scale from private households up to deliveries to heat and power plants. BioRES supported setting-up such BLTCs in Bulgaria, Croatia and Serbia.



Starting point are web-based marketing and sales platform with limited physical infrastructure. This can be successively extended into a BLTC with its own production, storage and logistics facilities when the local market reaches critical volumes allowing for the amortization of investments. In Slovenia, Austria, Germany and Finland BLTCs of different shape with own production, storage and logistic facilities are competitively operating. BioRES aims to setting up at least 6 – 8 new BLTCs in distributed over at least 2 of the 3 countries in Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria during the project.

With Woodlogistics, a modular software, the entire wood procurement process is controlled and optimised from the forest via the logging companies and hauliers to the sawmills. The aim of the web-based system solution is to make the purchase of roundwood by sawmills more efficient, to provide continuous information on the current status and thus to increase the trust of all parties involved. The basis for this is that the essential information can be retrieved quickly and transparently by the right people at any time.



The platform comprises three modules:



1. Roundwood takeover module: provides up-to-date online information and stores all relevant documents on roundwood transport to the wood-processing company. In addition, the data is automatically synchronised with the measuring system on the factory site.

2. Information and communication module: Stands for simple, fast and cross-company communication. It contains the location-independent provision of all essential information for suppliers, log buyers and hauliers. It also provides transfer data, the forest delivery note and individual master data.

3. Planning and control module: With this module, purchasing budgets can be allocated with the current target/actual status. It also contains a closing entry module with automatic transfer to the ERP system. The included freight cost module enables transport controlling.

A lack of forest site information in Styria created a need for a new approach to forest site classification and mapping, considering the changing climatic conditions, which will affect the classification of forest sites and the choice of tree species. Theoretical concepts for a new approach in "dynamic site classification" existed, but the implementation of an integrated site and forest classification in for the whole forest area in Styria has been a scientific challenge. In this project the forest site classification is based on a GIS-based geo-ecological stratification model. The database is based on a digital elevation model, a geological base map, digitally available site and climate data as well as empirical site parameters. A map of forest types is derived based on several thematic maps, including information about energy, water and nutrient balance. Those parameters are modeled on the basis of point and area related data, which are then combined into forest types with a uniform combination of factors. The model allows a stratification of the forest types on all sites based on digital geo-ecological parameters. In addition to the ecological facts, each forest type is characterized by a description of silvicultural guidelines containing information on the appropriate choice of tree species, potential hazards and adaptation methods.

Das weitgehende Fehlen von Standortskarten in der Steiermark macht einen neuen Ansatz bei der Standortserkundung und Kartierung der vorkommenden Waldstandorte notwendig. Eine weitere wissenschaftliche Herausforderung stellt die Berücksichtigung von zukünftig veränderten Klimabedingungen dar, die sich auch auf die Klassifizierung von Standorten und Waldtypen auswirken wird. Für eine solcherart erforderliche „dynamische Standortsklassifizierung“ bestehen theoretische Konzepte, die konkrete Umsetzung einer integrierten Standorts- und Waldtypenklassifikation in einer realen Region wie der Steiermark stellt jedoch Neuland dar.

Im Rahmen des Projektes soll daher eine Waldtypisierung auf Basis eines GIS-gestützten geoökologischen Stratifizierungsmodells erfolgen. Als Datenbasis sollen das digitale Höhenmodell, eine geologische Basiskarte, digital vorliegende Standorts- und Klimadaten sowie neu zu erhebende Standortsparameter verwendet werden. Für die Waldtypenkarte sollen auf Grundlage der Punkt- und Flächendaten zunächst Themenkarten für die Faktoren Wärme, Wasser und Nährstoffhaushalt modelliert werden, die dann zu Waldtypen mit einheitlicher Faktorenkombination zusammengefasst werden. Das Modell erlaubt dann auf Basis der Datengrundlagen abgeleiteten digitalen geoökologischen Parametern eine Stratifizierung der Waldtypen auf allen Hauptwaldstandorten. Jeder Waldtyp wird auf der Waldtypenkarte im Maßstab 1:25.000 dargestellt.

The preservation of forest functions and the supply of a region with the renewable resource wood require new strategies for forest owners, which they can only implement in cooperation with various partners. Answers to these challenges are to be developed within the framework of this pilot project, for which the political district of "Graz-Umgebung" was selected for Austria, on the basis of a sustainable wood mobilisation chain and climate-fit forest management. Timber mobilisation in private forests means mobilising forest owners and getting them interested in climate-friendly forest management. Because of property protection, additional wood mobilisation can only be achieved in cooperation with the forest owners. An essential step in the project is to point out exemplary small-scale forest managers who have been exploiting their wood utilisation potential for generations in the form of active family forestry. Under the motto "We make our forest climate-fit", active small-scale forest managers are brought into the public eye as climate-fit ambassadors.



The main objectives are:



- Establish continuity in the support and advice of forest owners

- Increase wood volumes from the project region

- Targeted public relations measures in the urban environment to generate a positive perception about the need to manage our forests

- Establish an advisory and support structure that can be ensured without public funding beyond the project

- Further development of digital offers for forest owners Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/holzmob…

Die Erhaltung der Waldfunktionen und die Versorgung einer Region mit der erneuerbaren Ressource Holz erfordern neue Strategien für Waldbesitzerinnen und Waldbesitzer. Antworten auf diese Herausforderungen sollen im Rahmen dieses Pilotprojektes, für das der politische Bezirk Graz-Umgebung für Österreich ausgewählt wurde, anhand einer nachhaltigen Holzmobilisierungskette und einer klimafitten Waldbewirtschaftung erarbeitet werden. Die Holzmobilisierung im Privatwald bedeutet, den Waldbesitzer zu mobilisieren und sie für eine klimafitte Waldbewirtschaftung zu begeistern. Durch den Eigentumsschutz besteht ausschließlich die Möglichkeiten über die Besitzer der Wälder zusätzliche Holzmobilisierung zu erreichen. Ein wesentlicher Projektschritt besteht im Aufzeigen von beispielhaften Kleinwaldbewirtschaftern, die in Form einer aktiven Familienforstwirtschaft bereits seit Generationen ihr Holznutzungspotential ausschöpfen. Unter dem Motto „Wir machen unseren Wald klimafit“ werden aktive Kleinwaldbewirtschafter als Klimafit-Botschafter in die Öffentlichkeit geholt.



Projektinhalte:



- Kontinuität in der Betreuung und Beratung von Waldbesitzern aufbauen

- Holzaufkommen aus der Projektregion steigern

- Gezielte Öffentlichkeitsarbeit im städtischen Umfeld für eine positiven Bezug der Notwendigkeit der Bewirtschaftung unserer Wälder

- Aufbau einer Beratungs- und Betreuungsstruktur, die über das Projekt hinaus ohne öffentliche Finanzmittel sichergestellt werden kann Weitere Informationene: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/de/content/climate…

FESTMETER Wöls Ltd. offers vitality analyses with a focus on bark beetle detection in coniferous forests.



Festmeter Wöls Ltd. offers vitality analyses with regard to bark beetle detection in coniferous forests. Using the carrier systems multicopter or light aircraft, forest plots are flown over in a grid system and aerial photographs are taken with a special camera, which are later analysed and evaluated on the computer. The technology used makes vitality restrictions visible, changes in the water content of the needles can be seen, but not the exact cause, such as the bark beetle itself. However, since image series from at least two flights at different times are compared, many other causes such as drought stress can be excluded and the bark beetle can be traced very closely. Initial trees are identified in the analysis, while the decision on necessary measures remains with the qualified on-site staff. A 100% hit rate is impossible. The aim should be to be able to act faster and more purposefully in the field. Long-standing customers report positive hit rates of over 80%.

Die "FESTMETER Wöls GmbH" bietet Vitalitätsanalysen in Hinblick auf Borkenkäfererkennung im Nadelwald an.



Die „Festmeter Wöls GmbH“ bietet Vitalitätsanalysen in Hinblick auf Borkenkäfererkennung im Nadelwald an. Mit dem Trägersystemen Multikopter oder Leichtflugzeug werden Waldgrundstücke im Rastersystem überflogen und dabei mit einer Spezialkamera Luftbildaufnahmen gemacht, die später am Computer analysiert und ausgewertet werden. Durch die eingesetzte Technologie werden Vitalitätseinschränkungen sichtbar, man sieht Änderungen im Wassergehalt der Nadeln, nicht aber die genaue Ursache wie beispielsweise den Borkenkäfer selbst. Da aber Bildserien aus mindestens zwei zeitlich versetzten Flügen miteinander verglichen werden, können viele andere Ursachen wie Trockenstress ausgeschlossen werden, wodurch man dem Borkenkäfer sehr nahe auf die Spur kommt. In den Vitalitätsanalysen werden Initialbäume gezeigt wobei die Entscheidung über notwendige Maßnahmen erfolgt weiterhin durch das qualifizierte Vor-Ort Mitarbeiter.Eine 100%ige Trefferquote ist unmöglich. Das Ziel sollte sein, im Feld schneller und zielgerichteter agieren zu können. Langjährige Kunden berichten von positiven Trefferquoten von über 80 %.

The Digital Sawmill is a project is funded by Vinnova and the participating companies Moelven Industrier, RemaSawco, Schneider Electric, RISE and DigiWood. The aim of the project was to, by digitizing the sawmill's production and process data, increase the process efficiency by 15%, increase the product value by 10% and reduce energy consumption by 10%. Digitization is a complicated project that takes time and requires resources. It is essential to focus on the goals set. Careful planning is required of: plant inventory, installation in stages, demanding deployment with parallel systems for new automated connections. Digitization projects start with details, continue with details and even more detail, with clear goals of a result of shaping a unified unit. Massive skills challenge. Visualize more, with less monitoring screens.Take control of data flows and take ownership of your own data.Platforms that handle data need to be tested in a harsh environment before. Different systems that measure time, energy or dimension need to be synchronized onsite, and with periodicity calibrated against "approved" similar.Traceability in saw lines can be achieved with redundant systems that measure length with the addition of timestamp. A calculation shows a potential increase in value of approximately SEK 5 million per year. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/digiwoo…

Det digitala sågverket är ett projekt som pågått i två år, 2017-2018. Projektet finansieras av Vinnova och de deltagande företagen Moelven Industrier, RemaSawco, Schneider Electric, RISE och DigiWood. Syftet med projektet var att genom att digitalisera sågverkets produktions- och processdata öka processeffektiviteten med 15%, öka produktvärdet med 10% och minska energiförbrukningen med 10%. Digitalisering är ett komplicerat projekt som tar tid och kräver resurser. Det är viktigt att fokusera på uppsatta mål. Noggrann planering krävs av: anläggningens inventering, installation i steg, krävande distribution med parallella system för nya automatiserade anslutningar. Digitaliseringsprojekt börjar med detaljer, fortsätter med detaljer och ännu mer detaljer, med tydliga mål för ett resultat av att forma en enhetlighet. Massiva färdighetsutmaningar. Visualisera mer, med mindre övervakningsskärmar. Ta kontroll över dataflöden och ta ägande av dina egna data. Plattformar som hanterar data måste testas i en hård miljö innan. Olika system som mäter tid, energi eller dimension måste synkroniseras på plats och med periodicitet kalibrerad mot "godkänd" liknande. Spårbarhet i såglinjer kan uppnås med redundanta system som mäter längd med tillägg av tidsstämpel. En beräkning visar en potentiell värdestegring på cirka 5 miljoner kronor per år. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/sv/content/digital…

Mistra Digital Forest is a research program working with the great societal challenges of our time. The demands of climate change and nature’s finite resources mean we have to switch to a circular bioeconomy, and the forest has a central role in this. Forest raw materials can phase out fossil-based materials and products, and replace them with renewable, bio-based alternatives. Digitalisation creates opportunities for forestry to be a sustainable and competitive part of that transformation.



Mistra Digital Forest makes enormous amounts of data available, increasing our knowledge of the forest and enabling us to make sustainable, resource-efficient decisions when we use this data. In concrete terms, this means that the programme’s researchers develop digital tools and innovations, automating and adding greater precision in forest planning and forest use. This results in increased competitiveness and sustainability in the forestry sector. In order to accelerate digital transformation, the program is working to increase digital knowledge within the industry. Methods for sustainability assessment are also being developed, and provide a fact-based starting point, when various stakeholders are discussing the role of the forest in the transition to a more sustainable society.



Program stakeholders: Mistra Digital Forest is funded by Mistra and participating parties. The program is led by the Swedish Forest Industries Federation and program partners are BillerudKorsnäs, Holmen, SCA, Stora Enso, Sveaskog, Södra, SLU, IVL, Skogforsk, Umeå University and KTH.

Precision forestry service that with the help of RGB and multispectral images from drones, airplanes, helicopters or satellites can detect bark beetle infected or stressed trees.



Today, the technology for identifying bark beetle attacks in the forest is largely based on manual work through visual checks of forest areas, where early attacks are almost impossible to see, while old attacks are easier to detect. Attempts have been made to identify damage attacks using satellite radar maps which give a good indication and can be seen as a complementing part to our precision analysis. Arboair Forest Mapper is a service where you analyze your images via our AI. Our model is trained on over 200 000 trees and it is verified by forest managers.

Arboair precisionsskogsbruk är en hållbar tjänst som med hjälp av RGB- och multispektrala bilder från drönare, flygplan, helikoptrar eller satelliter kan upptäcka barkbaggarinfekterade eller stressade träd.



Idag bygger tekniken för att identifiera granbarkborreangrepp i skogen till stor del på manuellt arbete genom visuella kontroller av skogsområden, där tidiga angrepp nästan är omöjliga att se, medan gamla attacker är lättare att upptäcka. Försök har gjorts för att identifiera tidiga angrepp med hjälp av satellitkartor som ger en bra indikation och kan ses som ett komplement till vår precisionsanalys. Arboair Forest Mapper är en tjänst där du analyserar dina bilder via vår AI. Vår modell är tränad på över 200 000 träd och den har verifierats av skogsförvaltare.

Skogkurs is intended to be the common body for competence in business development and management of forests and other land resources. Through its activities, Skogkurs will contribute to increasing competence among actors in the forestry industry, and disseminate forest and nature knowledge to schools and the public. Skogkurs has 36 member organizations. “Active forestry” is a nationwide offer with courses aimed at forest owners, forestry workers and forestry operators. The courses are also relevant for other groups that use forestry tools, either professionally or in their spare time. The courses provide practical guidance, have a small group size and skilled authorized instructors. These are short, targeted, locally adapted courses that are given close to home or in the workplace. The teaching program “Teach with the Forest” offers lessons from kindergarten to higher learning educator programs.



The Ministry of Agriculture and Food contributes significantly to the financing of the activities. About half of the development projects where Skogkurs has project management are partly funded through one or more of the forestry's own funds. Adult education funding, funding from the Norwegian Environment Agency and project funding from other partners also make important financial contributions to Skogkurs' activities.

Skogkurs har til formål å være skogbrukets fellesorgan for kompetanseformidling innen næringsutvikling og forvaltning av skog og andre arealressurser. Gjennom sin virksomhet skal Skogkurs bidra til kompetanseheving for aktørene i skogbruksnæringen, og til formidling av kunnskap om skog og natur til skoleverk og allmennhet. Skogkurs har 36 organisasjoner som medlemmer. Aktivt skogbruk er et landsdekkende tilbud med kurs for skogeiere, skogsarbeidere og skogsmaskinførere. Kursene er også aktuelle for andre grupper som benytter skogbruksredskaper, enten i sitt arbeid eller på fritiden. Kursene gir veiledning på en praktisk måte, har få deltakere og dyktige, autoriserte instruktører. Dette er korte, målrettede kurs med lokal tilpasning som gis nært bosted eller på arbeidsplassen.



Undervisningsprogrammet Lære med Skogen tilbyr undervisningsopplegg fra barnehage til lærerutdanningen. Landbruks- og matdepartementet bidrar i betydelig grad til finansiering av virksomheten. Omkring halvparten av utviklingsprosjektene der Skogkurs har prosjektledelse er delfinansiert gjennom midler fra ett eller flere av skogbrukets egne fond. Voksenopplæringsmidler, midler fra Miljødirektoratet og prosjektmidler fra andre samarbeidspartnere utgjør i tillegg viktige økonomiske bidrag til virksomheten. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/nb/content/forestr… Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZRGGtJjO3o

Established 75 years ago, Solør VGS Sønsterud has since been a national leader in training for forestry operations. The campus is currently part of Solør VGS with around 500 students aged 16-18 years and 135 employees. Teaching takes place both indoors and outdoors and allows pupils a practical approach to forestry. The curriculum follows the yearly season with planning, forest culture and logging.



Drones are used as a supplement to teaching, where they film objects and stock as a basis for work in teaching. This is to visualize select challenges or to show before/after an activity. When training operation of forestry machines, drones allow students and teachers to see the work from a birds-eye perspective. Used correctly, this may lead to increased learning both for those who observe, but especially for those who are observed and who get to see themselves at work. The time every pupil can spend operating forestry machines is limited, it is therefore important to make good use of the time available. By filming every student operating a forestry machine, the learning outcome will be increased for the students by allowing them to see themselves and get positive and constructive feedback. Drones allow prioritization of areas for improvement. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/use-dro… Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upg_iAjCl5A

Siden opprettelsen for 75 år siden har Solør VGS Sønsterud vært nasjonalt ledende i opplæring i skogbrukets driftsteknikk. Studiestedet er i dag en del av Solør VGS med til sammen ca. 500 elever i alderen 16-18 år og 135 ansatte. Undervisningen foregår både innendørs og utendørs og er lagt opp slik at elevene får en praktisk tilnærming til skogbruk. Undervisningen følger året med planlegging, skogkultur og hogst. Droner brukes som et supplement i øvrig undervisning. Dels for å filme objekter og bestand som grunnlag for arbeid i undervisningen. Dette for å vise spesielle problemstilling eller for å vise før/etter en aktivitet. Ved opplæring i bruk av skogsmaskiner gir droner elever og lærere mulighet til å se arbeidet fra et annet perspektiv. Brukt på riktig måte vil dette kunne gi økt læring både for de som kun observerer, men særlig for den som blir observert og som får sett seg selv i arbeid i etterkant. Siden tida den enkelte kan bruke som førere av maskiner er begrenset, det viktig å nytte tida godt. Ved å filme hver enkelt elev sitt arbeid med skogsmaskin, kan læringsutbyttet økes for elevene ved at de kan se seg selv, og få tilbakemelding på hva som er gjort riktig eller feil.

Women in Forestry (WiF) was established in 1986 by women studying and working in forestry. The purpose was to increase awareness among women to claim their right to inherit the family forest, and to work for women to be an active and skilled part of the forestry, as well as to build a strong and supportive network between women. Today, the members of WiF are students, forestry workers, forest owners - including former and future owners - supporters and various organisations within forestry or women's rights, and the organisation works with both forestry and gender equality. The activities include building both knowledge and network among the members and other women, by activities such as women crash courses in forestry, field days for immigrant women and annual Forest Conferences with various topics, as well as activities aimed at building knowledge in the society and the forestry, e.g. by participating in audit of the Norwegian PEFC Forest standard to ensure gender equality in both the working group and the revised standard, and other projects on both national and international scales. WiF reaches out to their members and other audience through the use of Facebook and Instagram, as well as their own podcast "Sound of Forestry", where the guests are mainly women, with an "everyday language" to reach also people without knowledge of forestry. The organisation is funded by membership fees, project fundings, governmental grants, sponsorship and sales of consulting services.

Kvinner i Skogbruket (KiS) ble etablert i 1986 av kvinner som studerer og jobber med skogbruk. Hensikten var å øke bevisstheten blant kvinner for å gjøre krav på sin rett til å arve familieskogen, og å arbeide for at kvinner skal være en aktiv og dyktig del av skogbruket, samt å bygge et sterkt og støttende nettverk mellom kvinner. I dag er medlemmene av KiS studenter, skogarbeidere, skogeiere - inkludert tidligere og fremtidige eiere - støttespillere og ulike organisasjoner innen skogbruk eller kvinners rettigheter, og organisasjonen jobber med både skogbruk og likestilling. Aktivitetene inkluderer å bygge både kunnskap og nettverk blant medlemmene og andre kvinner, ved aktiviteter som kvinnekrasjkurs i skogbruk, feltdager for innvandrerkvinner og årlige skogkonferanser med ulike temaer, samt aktiviteter rettet mot å bygge kunnskap i samfunnet og skogbruket, f.eks ved å delta i revisjon av den norske PEFC Forest-standarden for å sikre likestilling i både arbeidsgruppen og den reviderte standarden, og andre prosjekter på både nasjonal og internasjonal skala. KiS når ut til sine medlemmer og annet publikum gjennom bruk av Facebook og Instagram, samt deres egen podcast "Lyden av skogbruk", der gjestene hovedsakelig er kvinner, med et "hverdagsspråk" for å nå også folk uten kunnskap om skogbruk. . Organisasjonen er finansiert av medlemskontingent, prosjektfinansiering, statlige tilskudd, sponsing og salg av konsulenttjenester. https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/nb/content/women-f…

Never has the world had greater need for sustainable solutions. Think wood is an industry initiative from several companies and organizations within the Norwegian forest and wood industry. Together, we want to show how forests and trees can contribute in the fight against climate changes. Since its inception in 2019, the project has developed a number of articles and films, which easily and engagingly show what kind of products can be made of wood. Everything that is currently made of oil can in principle also be made of wood – and that with far lower emissions. The overall goal of the initiative is to show people why forests and wood are an important part of the climate solution. If we are going to achieve the UN’s sustainable climate goals, consumers, businesses, and politicians must actively choose renewable resources, such as wood, over non-renewable resources like petroleum and coal. Wood is the future. Not only as a resource, but as a green job creator all over Norway. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/think-w…

The purpose of the act on the financing of sustainable forestry (Kemera-law) is to advance economically, ecologically and socially sustainable silviculture and use of the forests. A private forest owner may receive financial support from the State for forest management, forest improvement work and for nature management. Public funding for forestry is based on the Act on the Financing of Sustainable Forestry. The general objectives of forestry financing are stated in the Act: increase the growth of forests, maintain road networks for forestry purposes, secure the biodiversity of forests and promote the adaptation of forests to climate change.



Government subsidies are essential for safeguarding sustainable wood production, maintenance of forest biodiversity and improvement of the health of forests. The most common reason not to participate in the cost sharing program is the challenge in applying the support. The receipt of Kemera subsidies requires a implementation plan or an application for support and declaration of completion. The amount of Kemera support varies by type of work and by financial zone. Support is a taxable income and the funding is provided by the Finnish Forest Center. Forest management and improvement work which may be eligible for support include the tending of seedling stands, tending of young stands, ditch cleaning and supplementary ditching and construction of forest roads. Support may also be granted for remedial fertilisation. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/kemera-…

CFLogistics (LogForce) is used by both forest companies and contractors. The planner can ensure that requested amounts of wood are transported to the delivery destinations. Also, the driver has real-time information on what is supposed to be delivered from where and to where.



CFLogistics (LogForce) is a software service for forestry related transport that streamlines the business for both the haulage contractor and the forestry company. CFLogistics software covers all the planning and vehicle software needed by a haulage contractor. With the help of the CFLogistics service, a transport company can offer its services to several forestry companies using one information system. The forestry company can focus on managing delivery volumes and optimising stock turnover. With the CFLogistics software service, the haulage contractor can plan and manage the transport of logs, forest energy, chips and other by-products of the forest industry from the starting depot to the location of use.



Advantages for transport companies:



1. Higher utilisation rate of the transportation equipment

2. Ability to work for different forestry companies using just one application

3. More flexible transport planning

4. Forestry companys advantages:

5. Focus on managing delivery volumes

6. Better stock turnover

7. Cost-efficient logistics Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/logforce

CFharvest (WoodForce) is planning- and steering system for harvesting and silviculture to optimize and strengthen the supply chains of forestry. Forestry company delivers all the contracts the WoodForce-system according to the need of raw material. The contractor selects the contracts and the locations he will perform. Forest companies have decreased harvesting and average costs in Silviculture or Regeneration job types. There has been increasing productivity in the supply chain of stem wood and energy wood. Also increasing productivity in field operations in Forestry like Silviculture Harvesting Forest Services. Contractors have the ability to manage their own forestry services and receive the full benefit of all resources. Possibility to operate for multiple forest companies is important. In addition, there is less manual reporting and worksite navigation is easier. CFharvest supports a changing trend where progressive companies now contract for several forest companies and do the planning with one system. Since the contractor understands local conditions best, forest harvesting operations become more efficient: the contractor has direct control over work plans and scheduling his own fleet of harvesters and trucks.

A joint wood terminal means a built-up area suitable for the storage and handling of timber species. The operations performed at the wood terminal are determined by the operator according to their needs.



One of the challenges in wood mobilization is small-scale wood units within long distances from the nearest roads. These units are not profitable for harvesting, since forest and long-distance transportation are of high costs. The answer to the challenge might lie in bigger wood terminals where wood from multiple small-scale units would be gathered from the same area for intermediate storage. In general, storing the wood is sensible at a distance of about 100 to 150 km from the site of use. The best location for intermediate storage is at the beginning of forest roads.



In Lapland, for instance, a few big terminals have been built close to the railway to advance the efficiency of wood transportation by train. In the provinces, larger terminals are usually located mainly according to the needs of industry and large forestry companies. Benefits of common terminals occur especially in wintertime, when maintenance of storage area could be done commonly or by the certain terminal operator. The joint terminals are well suited for energy wood and wood for which the need for storage is at a different time. This allows continuous use of area.



Operating culture, various practices, and lack of cooperation of the actors are experienced to restrict the wider deployment of common terminals. However, an increase in wood flows will require building more terminals.

KUUTIO® is an open and independent timber marketplace for forest owners, timber buyers, intermediaries such as forest management associations and other forest service providers.



Third party digital service Kuutio brings together forest owners, wood buyers and other service providers in a digital environment. Kuutio.fi enables asking bids from wood procurement companies, when a private forest owner wants to sell wood. The service is developed by Suomen Puukauppa Oy, which was founded by all the major actors in the forest sector. Involved are Stora Enso, UPM and Metsä Group among almost all of the smaller saw mills. Kuutio is fully functional in any role of forestry professionals either through a browser interface or the company’s own forest system as long as it has been set up with a Kuutio connection.



Actual sales are made outside the service, Kuutio only acts as a go-between wood buyers and sellers. In most cases it is still required to do some field work and validate the information provided by system by visiting the stand marked for harvesting. All parties of wood trade benefit from Kuutio because sellers and buyers are able find each other more easily than before. The service utilizes public forest details from the Metsäkeskus database Metsään .fi and improves the functionality of wood trade. Kuutio paves the way to wood trade especially for those who are not the most at ease when it comes to taking care of their forestry property. Kuutio is targeted to all Finnish forest owners and they can use the service for free. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/kuutiofi

Fragmented ownership structure is one of the main challenges of wood mobilization in Europe. Small-sized, dispersed forest property with difficult access to forests results in high costs for timber harvesting per hectare. The joint forests have been established in Finland since the end of the 1800. In the beginning of 2019 there were 460 common forests in Finland. The establishment of the common forest and the incorporation to existing joint forests have recently become more widespread. The total area of common forests is growing and it is already more than 700 000 ha. There are about 25 000 stakeholder in the common forests of our country, and they include over 5% of the surface area of our private forest. The smallest common forest is less than 20 hectares, while the largest, Kuusamo common forest has over 90 000 hectares of territory.



Changes in the common forest law have facilitated the integration of common forests and the creation of new joint forests. The common forest can provide a good and workable solution to many objectives of modern forest ownership. The common forest is a shared forest area for operating sustainable forestry in favour of the shareholder forest estates. The common forests are privately owned and have no public-law character or obligation. According to the Common Forestry Act, common forest must be used primarily for operating sustainable forestry. Sustainable forestry includes economic, social and ecological sustainability. The shareholders of common forest decide how to emphasise the utilization of different areas for the purposes of sustainable forestry.

Forest Finland is the joint communication project of the Finnish forest sector, launched in May 2020. The campaign will awaken and raise peoples’ interest and encourage discussion about the forests’ role in everything in Finland.

Forest Finland is the joint communication project of the Finnish forest sector, launched in May 2020. The campaign will awaken and raise peoples’ interest and encourage discussion about the forests’ role in everything in Finland. Forest Finland talks about the sustainability of the use of the northern forests and about the solutions the sustainable use of them offers. The forest will be seen on TV and heard on the radio, in outdoor advertising and in social media. Forest Finland aims to surprise, awaken interest in the forest and encourage us to discuss sustainable use of the forest. Forest Finland updates our perception of modern forestry. It presents products one could not imagine being made using wood.

The concept is based on the observation that almost everything Finns do is always accompanied by a forest. At christenings, student parties, graduations, weddings and funerals; or on holidays, events and on spare time, forest is always there - at least in the pictures. In fact, we don’t even realize that almost all of our photographs, and with it our memories, always have - at least in the background - a forest. Finns have a special relationship with the forest because it is involved in everything.Everyone can participate. One can share the information in your own organization or on social media, e.g. by sharing pictures you have taken of the forest or by highlighting solutions that the forest produces for all of us.

PONSEE is introducing firefighting equipment to be installed in the load spaces of forwarders for extinguishing wildfires. Forest machine is the most natural and effective way to access a forest fire area. Operations in difficult terrain come as second nature to them, and they have more than enough capacity in their hydraulic system for demanding conditions. The firefighting equipment is delivered to the fire location as a single package – and after it has been connected to forest machine hydraulics, the equipment is ready to operate.



The 10 m³ water tank of the firefighting equipment can be filled with its own pump from a natural water source or the tank of a fire truck. The water cannon has a range of 47 metres and a turning radius of 360 degrees. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to refill the tank. The filling hose is guided by the forwarder's boom and the strainer on the tank roof takes out the biggest debris. The water cannon is controlled with the remote control. The system draws its power from the hydraulics of the forwarder. Further information: https://www.forestinnovationhubs.rosewood-network.eu/en/content/ponsse-…

Biomass Atlas is an open service which collects the location data of biomasses under one, single user interphase. Developed by Luke together with Finnish organizations SYKE, TAPIO, UEF and UVA, and by the funding of the Finnish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the service enables calculations of the amount of biomass in a given geographical area, as well as examining the opportunities and restrictions to utilise the biomass. The map user interface is easy to use and allows user to watch, analyse and report biomasses from forestry, agriculture and biodegradable wastes from communities and industry. You will find approximately 300 map layers of different biomass types or land use categories in map user interface.



Based on Biomass Atlas, assessments of regional availability of biomass, procurement and logistical costs of biomass, procurement technology and optimization in Luke and other organizations have been successfully accomplished. Analyses of content of biomasses, their nutrients, energy potential, and the nutrient recycling have been optimized regionally using Biomass Atlas.



The biomass data is planned to support investment decisions and sustainable use of natural resources, for example, and to help decision-makers to do sustainable energy politics. At the moment Biomass Atlas is available in Finnish. International version of Biomass Atlas will be built in cooperation with Baltic Forbio project, which starts at autumn 2017 and exports the Biomass Atlas concept to Sweden and Baltic sea countries.
