    Forest Trapping Network (FTN)

     The Forest Trapping Network (FTN) is a Great Britain-wide, broad-spectrum surveillance network which monitors for GB priority pest and EU quarantine organisms that other survey methods are unable to detect. The FTN is a rolling programme which will survey 4-6 woodlands withing 100 forests for quarantine pests over five years.

    The CARBINE forest sector carbon accounting model

     The CARBINE model was first developed in 1988 by the Research Division of the Forestry Commission, now Forest Research. The development of CARBINE represented one of the first attempts to systematically model the exchanges of carbon between the atmosphere, various types of forests and other long-term reservoirs of carbon such as harvested wood products. This page briefly describes the CARBINE model.

    The Ecological Function of Trees outside Woodland (ToW) in Relation to Treescapes and Woodland Creation

     Research project aiming to map and assess the ecological role of Trees outside Woodlands (ToW) in England. By studying ToW distribution, biodiversity value, and conservation needs, the project aims to protect and enhance ToW's contribution to biodiversity in fragmented landscapes.

    Obtaining Evidence for Reviewing Trees and Peat Buffer Distances

     Understanding the interaction between peatland and woodland is important when making decisions to support delivery of the English Trees Action Plan (ETAP) and England Peat Action Plan (EPAP). This project will fill gaps in the evidence base – specifically in relation to the hydrological connection between the two.

    Ectomycorrhizal Communities in Forests: Factors Shaping Ecosystem Services and Resilience in a Changing Climate

     This project examines the role of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) communities in forest resilience to drought and on carbon and nutrient balances in single and mixed tree species woodlands. The findings will guide resilient woodland management in the face of climate change.

    Assessment of ECM Communities at the Natural Colonisation Sites

     This project aims to investigate mycorrhizal fungal communities present in areas of natural colonisation, and to examine links between mycorrhizal fungi and wider ecosystem biodiversity, soil properties and plant communities. This data will be compared with mycorrhizal fungal communities in planted sites of similar age to determine the differences between these modes of woodland establishment.
