Imagine trying to plant a garden that survives a heatwave and pests you've never seen before. This work creates a guidebook and a smartphone app to help forest owners pick the right mix of trees and soil microbes to keep their land healthy. It's like having a weather-proof blueprint for nature that tells you exactly what to plant to avoid losing everything to a storm or disease.
Forest owners and land managers face unpredictable financial losses due to climate-driven disturbances and invasive species. They lack a data-driven way to choose tree species and management techniques that guarantee long-term survival and value.
A smartphone app called OneForest ToolBox for accessing climate-resilient species data and a portfolio of species mixtures and management techniques.
If you are an insurance provider dealing with rising claims from forest die-offs — this project developed monitoring tools for vulnerability and resilience that help you better price risk and predict losses. By using the project's data on invasive species and climate-resilient mixtures, you can offer more accurate policies.
If you are a land manager dealing with unpredictable tree mortality — this project developed the OneForest ToolBox app that provides a portfolio of species and management techniques. This allows you to switch to climate-resilient provenances to protect your long-term timber assets.
If you are a consultant dealing with clients who need to meet national policy plans for climate adaptation — this project developed a knowledge base of FAIR data and a set of monitoring tools. You can use these to provide evidence-based resilience strategies for large-scale land holdings.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or commercial cost for the OneForest ToolBox or monitoring tools is mentioned.
Yes, the project works across 14 countries in Europe and China, utilizing Living Labs to test solutions at a landscape scale.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project emphasizes the creation of a knowledge base for hosting FAIR data.
The project specifically aims to influence national policy plans and provide tools for policy-makers to monitor vulnerability and resilience.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2027-08-31, suggesting full availability of deliverables by late 2027.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and academia (19 universities and research institutes), but maintains a significant industrial presence with 6 industry partners (19% ratio), including 2 SMEs. This balance suggests the project is grounded in deep science but has a clear path toward practical application across 14 different countries, including key markets in Europe and China.
