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...

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 producing, improving and developing statistics for woodland creation and change in England.

Project comparing the full life cycle carbon impacts of land use change, including renewable energy sources and land-based ecosystems.

Project exploring integrated (woodland) habitat connectivity, using advanced spatial mapping to generate biodiversity insights.

This report reviews existing studies estimating future timber prices and price elasticities of demand for emerging species and different product categories, focusing on studies most relevant to UK timber markets. The emerging species considered are those tree species predicted to have a more prominent role in UK forestry in the...

This paper summarises the results of Forest Research’s citizen science canopy cover webmap. Tree canopy cover was measured by contributors to the project in 5,749 urban wards in the UK using a random sample, manual image classification tool called i-Tree Canopy. The area-weighted mean canopy cover across urban areas in...

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.
