The need to address biodiversity protection measures into forest management is widely accepted among foresters and society as the loss of species and habitat structures is still ongoing on a big scale. Management practices and education have been focusing for a long time on timber production. Consequently, knowledge and awareness about processes related to tree microhabitats are not sufficiently present. Various initiatives across Europe are aiming to enhance information for a broad variety of target groups including forest practitioners, decision makers and scientists from different sectors, students as well as other potentially interested/relevant communities and other stakeholders. Marteloscopes, delineated, rectangular plots in forests where all trees are numbered, mapped and recorded, have been further developed as a training tools for virtual tree selections with a focus on biodiversity conservation. All recorded trees are economically and ecologically assessed and have a price tag and an ecological value. This so called ecovalue is evaluated based on a tree microhabitat catalogue based on a widely accepted typology. Different projects have taken this further and software tools are released or under development. Publications, especially tailored for practicioners are distributed among foresters and increase the awareness for tree microhabitats and biodiversity relevant structures. The presented tools aim for supporting improved decision making capabilities addressing the integration of biodiversity aspects into forest management. Practical implementation can be altered by many factors and the introduced tools cover mostly the lowest level of implementation, the selection of trees during thinning (including habitat trees).
