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 as harvested wood products. This page briefly describes the CARBINE model.
Research project quantifying the soil carbon changes in mineral and organo-mineral soils in the first 2 to 20 years of forest establishment. It considers different tree species and mixtures planted in the Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) sites.
Research project focusing on the production, improvement and development of statistics for England on woodland creation, woodland change and other environmental and social aspects of woodlands.
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.
This project promotes woodland creation by developing integrated spatial data to enhance biodiversity and habitat connectivity. It identifies optimal areas for tree planting, supports nature recovery and strategic land use. This will help address habitat fragmentation, and ensures the protection of existing wildlife spaces to improve climate resilience and species migration.
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 future. Undertaken as part of […]
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 the UK was found to be […]
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.
