We are pleased to share the latest updates in the July edition of the SingleTree newsletter. As the project progresses into the second half of the year, we are entering a key phase marked by intensive preparation, technological development, and field activity across Europe.
Preparing for the First Major Field Campaigns
The SingleTree consortium is preparing for the first large-scale field campaigns, scheduled for summer and autumn 2025 across our designated Living Labs (LLs). These campaigns will be central to testing our tools and approaches in diverse forest environments.
Advancing Conceptual Frameworks
We continue to refine our conceptual frameworks for wood traceability across the forest value chain, and tree-level forest planning tools that support precision decision-making. These frameworks form the backbone of SingleTree’s approach to resilient, adaptive, and data-driven forest management.
AI for Wood Traceability
At the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), researchers are developing an algorithm to trace logs from standing trees in the forest to the final product at the sawmill. This innovation aims to enhance transparency and efficiency throughout the wood supply chain.
Decision-Support Tools for Individual Trees
The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) is designing a decision-support algorithm that enables forest managers to optimise interventions at the individual tree level, supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Field Data Collection in Spain
The University of Valladolid (UVA) has completed the first phase of intensive field data collection in Valdepoza, Saldaña, located in the Castilla y León region of Spain. This data is essential for calibrating our models and validating our traceability tools.
Exploring Adaptive Single-Tree Management
The University of Eastern Finland is exploring how adaptive single-tree management can strengthen forest resilience, support multifunctionality, and promote long-term sustainability.
SingleTree on the Road
SingleTree partners have participated in a series of important events and meetings across Europe. These gatherings support collaboration, knowledge exchange, and alignment across our interdisciplinary research teams.
Stories in Motion
Our latest project tour videos offer a behind-the-scenes look at partners driving innovation within SingleTree.
