Living Systems & Biodiversity

Observe, protect and care for the living systems that sustain our territories

Soils, forests, biodiversity and green spaces support life and human activity. XSEED identifies international technologies that help organisations better understand these systems, document their practices and manage landscapes with less impact.

SOIL HEALTH

Soil Biology · Microbial Activity · Practice Assessment

Soil analysis can reveal how microbial communities use different carbon sources. This functional profile can help compare areas, assess practices or examine the effect of a biostimulant.

The results complement physical and chemical soil analyses. Representative sampling and suitable comparison areas are essential.

BIODIVERSITY MONITORING

Acoustic Monitoring · Species Detection · Site Comparison

Field recorders capture sounds over time. Analysis tools can identify potential bird or bat activity and help teams review changes across sites.

Automated detections require validation. Species coverage and the monitoring protocol must be checked for each location.

FOREST & WOOD TRACEABILITY

Origin Records · Lot Tracking · Audit Preparation

Digital tools can connect forest plots, wood lots and supporting documents. Physical marking and mobile reading can help maintain traceability as wood moves through the supply chain.

The quality of the evidence depends on the information recorded and how each transfer is documented.

LOWER-IMPACT LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT

Herbicide-Free Weed Control · Efficient Mowing · Robotics

Hot water and insulating foam can treat unwanted vegetation without herbicides. Electric mowing equipment and autonomous or remote-controlled machines can help manage large or difficult areas.

Site trials can compare operating time, area covered, energy and water use, cost per hectare, and effects on the quality of maintenance. Management plans can also retain refuge areas for wildlife.

From technology to a relevant application

We start with the site and its management needs. We then assess the technology, define what should be measured and check whether the solution fits local conditions.

Where there is a fit, XSEED helps develop qualified opportunities in France and can continue through local representation.
