Section titled “Available methods”Manual Planting
Section titled “Manual Planting”ID: manual Status: Available
Traditional reforestation using hand-planted seedlings by field crews, typically with some degree of mechanical site preparation. This is the most established method with the longest track record of outcome data.
Drone Seeding
Section titled “Drone Seeding”ID: drone_seeded Status: Available
Aerial dispersal of seed pods or seedling capsules via autonomous or remotely-piloted drones. A newer method offering advantages in speed and access to difficult terrain, with different survival characteristics than manual planting.
Direct Seeding
Section titled “Direct Seeding”ID: direct_seed Status: Coming soon
Ground-level seed broadcast without drone assistance — hand-spread or machine-distributed. Prediction support for this method is under development.
Natural Regeneration
Section titled “Natural Regeneration”ID: natural_regeneration Status: Coming soon
Unassisted forest recovery from existing seed sources. A fundamentally different model from active planting — predicting whether a site will regenerate rather than whether planted trees will survive.
