Risk management in the cluster (Project)
In 2018 extreme weather conditions caused severe damages in the forests especially of Northern Germany. Winter storms and summer drought followed by a massive bark beetle infestations resulted in fatal losses for many forest owners. There is a short term need for new strategies to minimize these losses by improved measures for salvaging the timber, transporting it efficiently, and for making...

AVATAR: Advancing Virtual Aptitude through TActo-cognitive Response systems (Project)
A digital coaching, assistance and feedback system (CAFS) is designed for improving productivity and job satisfaction of forest machine operators while reducing mental stress. In addition, it will allow for training of young and senior professionals in a more meaningful and efficient way. CAFS contributes to enhanced value adding and resource utilization in forest industry, thus, strengthening...

AVATAR: Advancing Virtual Aptitude through TActo-cognitive Response systems (Project)
More than 400 million m3 of timber are cut in Europe each year. Modern cut-to-length (CTL) machines (harvester and forwarder) collect detailed information on each tree, potentially providing a comprehensive data foundation for the management of European forests. Further, these mechanized harvesting systems provide an improved work environment and lower impact on the forest. However, operating...

AVATAR: Advancing Virtual Aptitude through TActo-cognitive Response systems, subproject 3: Implementing a digital coach prototype and assessing its potential (Project)
The aim of this project part is to verify the function and actual improvement potential of the digital coach through a practical in-field and/or simulator based case study with selected operators. A machine equipped with the required hard and software for the digital coach as developed in former workpackages 2 and 3, will be run by operators of different professional level within standard...

ForestValue: Management for multifunctionality in European forests in the area of bioeconomy (Project)
Forests are subject to various, often conflicting societal demands. Consequently, securing the multifunctionality of forests is a key challenge in transforming the global economy from non-renewable raw material dependence to a sustainable forest-based bio-economy. To develop policies and management practices to better account for the potential trade-offs between various social, economic and...

ForestValue: Development of comprehensive optimization approaches (Project)
The project (TUM) provides methods and models to quantify, assess and optimize forest ecosystem services (FES) from various shareholder/stakeholder perspectives. The quantification of economic trade-offs is an important aim. We will work with pluralistic valuation approaches, which go beyond a pure economic valuation. These will consider multiple uncertainties and the opportunities of...

Novel and extended wood pellet characterisation and combustion modelling - part I Fundamental Research (Project)
Within the project "FuturePelletSpec" unknown fuel properties of wood pellets that may have a negative impact on the combustion process are investigated in order to identify reasons for previously observed irregular and unpredicted combustion behavior. Based on these results new suggestions for novel wood pellet characterization are developed as input for advanced specification of test fuel...

Collaborative project: Plus-tree selection and clonal propagation of new Juglans hybrids (Project)
The cultivation of Juglans (walnut) varieties belongs to the silvicultural niche of forestry, whose importance, especially as an alternative tree species and from an economic view, is steadily increasing. The extensive death of European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) by ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus) requires the identification of tree species that are suitable for cultivation in the same...

Collarorative project: Development of thermo-mechanical modified wood based material with weatherproof powder coating using domestic, fast-growing wood species (Project)
In the building sector coatings for exterior use are important for a long time. Wood and wood based material applications (e.g. gladding, terrace elements, garden furniture or playground equipment) need special weatherproof surface treatment. Today, there are existing different demanding surface treatments with liquid coating systems, mainly applied in several steps. Procedure and economics are...
