Overview
Woodland creation and management deliver a wide range of environmental benefits. The extent of those benefits is determined by a range of factors, including the type of woodland, the way it is managed, and its position in the landscape.
This Research Note summarises current evidence on how the management, creation, and configuration of woodlands within […]
This Practice Guide provides advice to forest managers, practitioners, planners and supervisors, on how forest operations should be planned and managed to protect the water environment.
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.
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.
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.
This project explores the movement/dispersal of different species (plants, invertebrates, small mammals and fungi) between woodlands. Specifically, the project aims to understand whether newly planted woodlands enhance habitat connectivity for woodland species within fragmented landscapes.
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.
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.
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.
