Forest Research Launches Climate Change Factsheet Series
28 Jan 2021
Forest Research has today (Thursday 28th January 2021) launched the first in a series of factsheets exploring the effects of climate change on our trees and woodlands.
Aimed at practitioners, the factsheets showcase the breadth of research carried out by Forest Research, sometimes over decades, demonstrating how trees and forests are facing the challenges of climate change, and offering actionable insights into how trees and woodlands can help mitigate the effects of climate change.
The first four factsheets are:
Future editions in the series will be published throughout 2021.
Woodland owners and managers are being asked to take part in a new research project to monitor the health of oak trees across the UK.
Survey of 7,000 people conducted to find out about the public’s awareness and understanding of biosecurity and plant and tree health in the UK.
Planting woodland adjacent to established woodland or in large clumps is more likely to boost bird populations than random planting, modelling suggests.
