We are excited to share the publication of the first scientific paper within the SMURF project, titled “Efficiency of Mobile Laser Scanning for Digital Marteloscopes for Conifer Forests in the Mediterranean Region.” This significant achievement, published in MDPI Open Access Journals, marks a key milestone in our ongoing efforts to offer tools for enhancing sustainable forest management in Europe.
This paper, resulting from a joint effort between our partners UNIFI and BLUEBILOBA, explores the use of Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) technology to simulate silvicultural interventions. It demonstrates the potential of MLS and digital marteloscopes to improve the management of Mediterranean conifer forests. The study also emphasizes the potential of these technologies to support new training activities, as detailed in Work Package 4 (WP4) of the SMURF project.
The publication is a significant step towards achieving the SMURF project’s objectives: improving the economic and social impact of sustainable forest management across Europe.
We are proud of this accomplishment and look forward to further advancing our mission to make a lasting, positive impact on Europe’s forests.

“Efficiency of Mobile Laser Scanning for Digital Marteloscopes for Conifer Forests in the Mediterranean Region”
With a joint effort between our partners UNIFI and BLUEBILOBA, we are pleased to announce the publication of the first scientific paper within the SMURF project!
Some of the data used in this paper were also gathered through collaborative efforts involving other projects, as acknowledged in the funding section.
The paper emphasizes the use of Mobile Laser Scanning to simulate silvicultural interventions, while also showcasing the potential of these tools for new training activities (as outlined in WP4). Specifically, the study highlights how digital marteloscopes and innovative technologies can be leveraged to teach silvicultural practices effectively.
