    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.
  • Research

    Comparing Carbon Budgets for Different Land Use

     This project will provide a direct comparison of the full life cycle carbon impacts of various land use change options. Land use changes examined include establishment of wind farms, solar farms, energy crops (short rotation coppice willow and Miscanthus), short rotation forests, new woodland creation and agroforestry.

    Expanding Agroforestry

     The Expanding Agroforestry project aims to support the creation of agroforestry in the UK through providing research to support policy and practitioners through evidence reviews and the collection of underpinning empirical evidence.

    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.
  • Research

    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.

    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.

    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.
  • Research

    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.

    Green Finance in the Context of UK’s Trees, Woods, and Forests

     There is a need for Green Finance mechanisms to increase private investment in UK woodland creation and tree planting. Forest Research is exploring existing evidence on this topic, identifying innovative mechanisms, existing case studies and research gaps.

    SUPERB – Upscaling Forest Restoration

     Forest Research, working with Forestry and Land Scotland, is leading a forest restoration Demo for the EU Horizon2020 “SUPERB” project. This demonstrates conversion to continuous cover forestry, establishment of high-elevation forests, and riparian woodlands with natural flood management measures, and will work with stakeholders to examine potential for upscaling.
