SingleTree aims to develop an optimised value chain for improved climate change adaptation, forest resilience, multifunctionality, and cascading use of woody biomass in precision forestry. The project will develop disruptive forest monitoring strategies based on artificial intelligence and remote sensing, adaptive single-tree level management solutions, intelligent machines for implementing single-tree operations, and improved traceability and ability to predict wood quality early in the value chain as a foundation for optimised biomass supply.

Key objectivies

1. AI-Driven Tree Monitoring

Develop AI and remote sensing-enabled methods for detailed tree health, wood quality, and biodiversity monitoring.

2. Adaptive Management Tools

Create adaptive single-tree management tools to enhance forest resilience and multifunctionality.

3. Intelligent Machines

Design intelligent machines for efficient single-tree management and continuous feedback for inventory and management.

4. Enhanced Wood Data

Improve wood property data to optimize biomass value and use.

5. Value Chains in Living Labs

Build connected value chains in living labs, using feedback loops for sustainable, real-life innovation.

The living
labs

To connect individual technical solutions within fully integrated digital value chains, the SingleTree project will showcase innovations across three Living Lab Value Chains (LLVCs) situated in northern, central, and southern Europe, each reflecting diverse environmental and socio-economic conditions. These LLVCs will be implemented through local research and stakeholder engagement, ensuring adequate territory for developing and validating innovative actions.
