An experienced Team for agroforestry and plantations

     

    Key competences of the Lignovis expert team:

    • agroforestry and fast growing tree plantations (planning, planting, managment),
    • nativ tree species (e.g. hedge-rows for environmental purposes),
    • global & regional biomass potential analysis,
    • analysis and assessment of international forestry and plantation investments (including proprietary financial modeling),
    • biomass supply strategies (sourcing and logistics),
    • sustainability concepts and certification.

    Throughout the planting seasons Lignovis is closely cooperating with a qualified sub-contractor from the forestry sector. Periodically more than 30 experts and seasonal workers are involved in project implementation activities.

    More than 4,000 ha of fast growing tree plantations, agroforestry projects and multiple scientific trials have been established by Lignovis experts in eight EU countries. Through cooperations with universities and research institutes, an efficient transfer of scientific results into client projects as well as practical research cooperations are ensured.
