CoolWood® developed and tested an innovative storage process for maintaining the wood quality of logs.

RAISON evaluate the economic and silvicultural benefits of managing young deciduous stands using low-density designation and routing compared to conventional forest management through full thinning.

The Auvergne Promobois inter-professional association (FIBOIS AURA) works on the LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) in Silver fir to achieve the expected quality and the setting up of the manufacturing in Auvergne region.

A geodatabase was created and to centralise forest data that can be queried for different administrative levels, enabling also data sharing between stakeholders.

The OG PRI.FOR.MAN has developed different forest geographic layers that describe forest resources (growing stock volume, forest types, accessibility, and forest roads maps) implemented in a decision support system tool, providing support to the forest sector and emergence of new value chains.

The online application helps users evaluate their forest land using public data and estimate annual yields. It allows users to analyze their own images, calculate tree values, and monitor forest events. Users gain insights into forest condition, interventions, and planned harvests.

The mobile app complements the web application, allowing users to register a plot and make five different records. Tree count can be done automatically or manually using augmented reality. It helps estimate wood supply, track felled trees, and manage felling paths for better control.

A due diligence and traceability system for forest timber products requires a felling license and a contract with a forestry service provider. Necessary documents can be easily generated through a free online system that guides users through the process.

The online tool for roundwood quality classification helps users assess roundwood quality and understand grading criteria. It’s useful for forest owners aiming to improve wood mobilization. The tool provides guidelines for measuring dimensions, calculating volume, and identifying wood defects based on European standards, aiding in proper classification.

SiWaWa, part of the MOTI app, simulates forest growth over 30 years for one-dimensional pure stands. It helps determine silvicultural measures based on wood production goals. A standalone version allows field simulations right after recording a stand with MOTI.
