    Towards Climate Smart Forestry: Developing the Strategic Infrastructure of Research Forests

     A new generation of forestry trials and experiments is urgently required to provide evidence for recommendations in support of 'climate-smart' forestry objectives, i.e. how to ensure the right tree, in the right place, and or the right reasons. There is also a pressing need to develop a new generation of multi-factorial yield and carbon models with which to inform policy decisions.

    Adapting Vacant and Derelict Land for Tree Planting for Climate Change

     Vacant and Derelict Land (VDL) woodland will contribute beneficial ecosystem services to UK communities. To realise these benefits, such woodlands must be resilient to current and future climate change risks. This requires understanding these risks and the adaptation and mitigation approaches that can minimise them.

    Extension of the Climate Change Hub

     Research project exploring how to enhance the Climate Change Hub to better engage forestry practitioners and stakeholders. It aims to expand the Hub's content to include mitigation guidance.

    Understanding and mapping the socio-cultural benefits of forest recreation

     Trees, woods, and forests provide multiple benefits to society, including those of social and cultural value. This research outlines a scoping study which sought to identify and test methods for spatially mapping and surveying the recreation attitudes and behaviours of people living in an area around Cannock Chase National Landscape.

    Land Use for Net Zero, Nature and People (LUNZ) Hub

     The LUNZ Hub is an innovative transdisciplinary research initiative helping to drive transformational land use change in the UK needed to achieve net zero by 2050.

    Genetic conservation units (GCUs)

     This project aims to establish a network of genetic conservation units (GCUs) across the natural range of European tree species to conserve the genetic diversity of forest genetic resources (FGR).

    Economics of Woodland Creation in England

     The Economics of Woodland Creation project aims to build England’s forest economic evidence base to help land managers and businesses make informed decisions on land use change and woodland management. This will be achieved through the collection and economic analysis of information on the financial implications of woodland creation options.

    Developing a Woodland Water Code

     The design and development of a Woodland Water Code (WWC) to act as a crediting mechanism to encourage private investment in trees for the improvement of the freshwater environment.

    Understanding the significance and impacts of different populations of Dothistroma septosporum on native and exotic forest species in Britain

     This research aims to determine whether genetically distinct British populations of the foliar pine pathogen, Dothistroma septosporum are phenotypically different from one another.

    Fungi for Forest Restoration (Fungi4Restor)

     The Fungi4Restor project will investigate the patterns and mechanisms of soil woodland fungal community recovery on former agricultural land. It will also assess the significance of these communities for tree establishment, and explore interventions as potential accelerators for the restoration of soil woodland fungal communities.

    Expanding Agroforestry: A Tree Species Guide for Agroforestry in the UK

     This ‘Tree Species Guide for UK Agroforestry Systems’ provides an overview of 33 species of trees and shrubs that could be planted in UK agroforestry systems.

    Forestry & Woodland Resilience to Drought (FORWaRD)

     Research project to address knowledge gaps in tree response to drought in the UK and inform decisions on both species choice and management to enable the quantification of changing risk under alternative future climate change scenarios to increase forest resilience and improved decision-making.
