We are searching research partner or partner from the forest practice for collaboration for this type of research: Untraditional progressive technological procedure of artificial regeneration in form of sowing to "vegetation cells".
In Slovakia we have been veryfing this technology in many localities of calamity and extreme clearings being affected by climatic changes.
We would like to test our technology on different tree species, climatic conditions and various stages of degraded forest or non-forest biotopes.
Potential project preparation is more than welcome !
Hi Michal,
I am from Romania I am definitely interested in any new technology in afforestation, because in this field there aren't too many major breakthroughs.
But of course, you need to provide further details.
I understood you used sowing (not planting) as method of installation.
What are the preliminary results of the tests? Which species were involved? And i am so curios what are the so called vegetation cells ?
Hi Michal,
I am from the Argentinean pampas in the center of the country. The climate is semiarid and temperate and our forests are dominated mainly by Prosopis caldenia trees. Presently, due to massive deforestation we have to recover wide areas by afforestation. It will be a good possibility to prove this technique if it is possible.
Good day Michal,
Our University is working in the field of alternative methods of reforestation. In particular, I deal with the sorting of forest seeds for subsequent sowing from the air. I am ready to discuss with you at the level of the University management issues about the prospects of cooperation.
Dear Colleagues
Thank you for your response. Ciprian, I send you copy of research article, where you find more information.
Dear Arthur,
if you are working with aerial seeding, then please find two relevant references attached.
Dear Michal,
I've attached some relevant references for your project. I've got more interesting refs if you want; in that case, contact me.

In northern Sweden, there are several more or less commercially available seeding products like pucks, pads, sachets, etc. available for enhancing seed establishment.
Who is the master? Is our technology and illusions of domination and control the master or is NATURE the master. The answer here will inform and significantly influence all answers forward. As long as humans believe we can 'improve' nature for our immediate benefits and ignore the litany of legacy issues that follow our feeble attempts at domination and control we will create false solutions. Until we understand this fundlemental question and it's implications forward which have unintended consequences that last for generations we will make no progress. Industrial forestry represents a modern endeavor not unlike the killing the Buffalo for it's tongue. The mass wasting, undermining future generations and evolution towards extinction follows in spades. Can we wake up from the privatized profits and socialized liabilities that follow every time? I see no evidence.
