Project exploring the role of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) in forest resilience, shaping ecosystem services, and aiding climate adaptation.
Project investigating mycorrhizal fungal communities in areas of natural colonisation, and making links with wider ecosystem biodiversity.
Project quantifying changes in soil carbon and tree biomass caused by different ground preparation practices during woodland creation.
Project measuring the soil carbon changes in the first 2 to 20 years of forest establishment of Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) sites.
Project exploring the ecosystem services provided by agroforestry in the UK, and the questions this raises for policy and regulation.
Project investigating the patterns and mechanisms of soil woodland fungal community recovery on former agricultural land.
This research aims to find out how to expand woodland cover in a way that maximises ecological and social benefits. The programme complements the other six programmes and follows collaborative principles to produce tools which support land managers, stakeholders and policymakers to increase engagement with woodland creation activities
