Close-to-nature silviculture requires a very good understanding of forest ecosystems and their natural processes in order to steer forest development in a targeted and efficient manner in line with the expectations of forest owners and society. Experience plays a key role in this.

The internet platform martelage.sylvotheque.ch (MSC) was developed to provide a large number of different silvicultural situations in the form of marteloscopes and to make them easily accessible.

With the MSC Mobile App you have access to all these marteloscopes and you can do marking exercises in the forest without an internet connection. Interactive maps adapted to the size of smartphone screens are available for this purpose. You can also see the results of your marking directly.

Main functionalities of MSC Mobile:

- Selection of a marteloscope from a list, which is automatically synchronized with martelage.sylvotheque.ch

- Interactive map for marking exercises with information on tree positions, tree species and tree diameters

- Determination of the marking status of the trees (conserve/produce, fell/use , no status) with the possibility to give reasons for the selection

- Search for a tree from a tree list

- Display of the available information about the existing trees, such as tree species, diameter, but also, depending on the marteloscope, the wood quality or the ecological value

- Display of the dendrometric parameters of the selected marteloscope and the results of the marking carried out in Form of tables and graphics: number of trunks per ha (N), base area per ha (G), supply per ha (V), top diameter (ddom), middle trunk diameter (dg), tree species composition (%G), percentage of base area according to the categories of small wood (P), medium wood (M) and large wood (G), as well as trunk number distribution according to diameter classes

- information about the marteloscope such as its area and the year of the status survey

- Export of the markings made to your MSC account, with the possibility of viewing the markings on martelage.sylvotheque.ch and comparing them with the markings of other users.

MSC Mobile was developed at the Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) with the support of the Canton of Geneva. It is the result of a collaboration between the University of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences (BFH-HAFL) and the Department of Technology and Computer Science (BFH-TI). This is the first release. Please contact us if you have any suggestions for improvement > info@sylvotheque.ch.
Before walking in a marteloscope, you should contact the responsible forest manager, especially if you plan to do marking exercises in a group.
