Seed4Forest
Seed4Forest is a decision-support tool that helps users select the most suitable tree species, species mixtures, and provenances for any location across Europe. It supports forest restoration through climate-smart forestry by combining up-to-date scientific knowledge with practical guidance for current and future climate challenges.
The decision support tool is a science-based, data-driven platform designed to assist a wide range of stakeholders in making well-informed decisions on species selection, species composition planning, and seed sourcing for climate-resilient forests, as well as understanding the impact of climate change on European forests. By integrating state-of-the-art models developed using ecological and genetic insights from long-term experiments and extensive spatial datasets, the tool aims to enhance forest restoration, reforestation, and afforestation efforts.
