To test and demonstrate these innovations, SingleTree will set up “Living Labs” in forests across northern, central, and southern Europe. These sites will serve as real-world testing grounds where the new methods can be trialed and evaluated in diverse forest conditions. This connected, digital approach will support Europe’s forest strategy by promoting a more sustainable and efficient way to manage forests.
SingleTree’s three LLVCs are selected to represent a broad and diverse range of ecosystem and socioeconomic conditions throughout Europe, each with important key settings being relevant to achieve the aims of the EU Forest Strategy and having a large upscaling potential.
LLVC North is located in the forest owned by the SCA forest company in northern/central Sweden.
This site focuses on multifunctional value chains at the single-tree level within a large industrial context, emphasizing the need for closer-to-nature management practices.
LLVC Central, situated in the Canton of Bern in central Switzerland and managed by the State Forest Enterprise Bern, adopts a multifunctional approach. It targets multiple services simultaneously through digital technologies and aims to manage small-scale forests using a continuous cover forestry strategy. This approach emphasizes single-tree decision-making, despite limited access to modern digital information systems.
LLVC South, located in Castilla y León in northwestern of the Iberian Peninsula, represents even-aged coniferous forests within the Mediterranean region. This area features various silvicultural schemes, diverse site indexes, and significant variability in timber quality. This LLVC focuses on multifunctional management strategies to enhance climate resilience and value creation.
