Research

New evidence to inform woodland creation for climate change mitigation
This project was commissioned to estimate and compare the potential for carbon sequestration and GHG emissions mitigation that could be realised by creating different types of woodlands. The analysis assesses the influence of different tree species, site and management factors, including the eventual use of harvested wood, on the potential carbon...

Cooling effect of street trees in Bristol
In cities the climate is significantly warmer than in the surrounding countryside. This is known as the Urban Heat island (UHI) effect. The UHI effect is caused by a range of factors including hard building surfaces which absorb and radiate heat and the design of urban areas which means they...
Research

Climate change and urban forests
Can urban forests help cities adapt to climate change? Urban forests can both help reduce climate change and help urban society cope with its impacts. As growing trees remove carbon dioxide from the air, storing the carbon in their biomass, urban forests are an important part of our response to...

Woodland Creation and Expansion – Programme 6
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 policy makers to increase engagement with woodland creation activities
Research

Connecting trees and forests to the Internet of Things
An ongoing project betwen Forest Research, Defra and Vodafone is exploring how the Internet of Things (IoT) can be used in environmental and forest monitoring at remote forest sites. A pilot study is currently underway where a new generation of IoT sensors and communication devices is being used to monitor...

PRAFOR: Probabilistic drought Risk Analysis for FORested landscapes
Probabilistic drought risk analysis
Research

Forland Landscape Restoration
The ForLand-Restoration project is developing a forest landscape restoration decision support platform. A collaborative research project funded by Climate-KIC to explore landscape restoration opportunities with stakeholders with the aim of reaching consensus on land use decisions.
Research

Woodland Diversification
Woodland Diversification Managing woodland stands in a way that retains productivity targets, but that also fosters biodiversity and stand resilience are key sustainable forest management goals. Current forestry policy advocates a diversification of woodland stands to achieve these goals, favouring mixed age structures, trees of mixed provenance and polycultures over...
Research

Provenance variation of emerging species
Forest Research has recently examined some long-term experiments to examine provenance variation of emerging species. The table below is a summary of how the results compare with Forestry Commission Bulletin 66, which only included three of the species. Individual reports for the eight species covered so far can be found...

Climate change impacts
Examining the effects of climate change on woodland and forestry.
Research

The dendroclimatic and dendrochronological background to Acute Oak Decline
Using tree ring measurements (dendrochronology) and stable isotope analysis, the research aims to examine the stem growth and tree health histories of Acute Oak Decline (AOD)-affected trees, to look for evidence of predisposition to AOD, the impact of AOD on recent growth, and correlation with A. biguttatus attack.
Research

Large scale diversity and distribution of ectomycorrhizal fungi
A multi-partner Europe wide transdisciplinary project to understand the large-scale diversity and distribution of ectomycorrhizal fungi across Europe, taking into account long-term monitoring of environment, climate, soil and geographical variables.

Harwood Forest GHG monitoring site
Measuring forest carbon balance and effect of harvesting
Research

Exploring scenarios of forest diversification and ecosystem services impacts
This page describes our work carrying out research into the delivery of forest ecosystem services at the forest scale.
Research

Priorities for research on Emerging Species
An analysis of species diversity of the Public Forest Estate in Britain to help inform the future direction of research on species and provenance.
Research

Changes in tree and forest ecosystem service values
Changes in tree and forest ecosystem service values under different scenarios and visions, and different costs and benefits
Research

Mechanisms to deliver tree and forest ecosystem services
Our research has explored mechanisms for delivering tree and forest ecosystem services and examined land managers’ perspectives in relation to mechanisms
Research

Valuing tree and forest ecosystem services
Our research explores the value of different tree and forest ecosystem services and uses innovative methods to identify and capture those values
