    Sessile oak (SOK)

    Sessile oak and its close relative pedunculate oak are the two native oaks in Britain. Both have iconic status in British culture and have had significant impact on our history particularly the building of the early navies. They are large trees with a substantial impact on the landscape and host to many thousand species of native flora and fauna. Sessile oak is prominent in the west of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland with pedunculate oak dominant in the south, east and central England. The ranges overlap and there is a recognised hybrid between the two species: Quercus x rosacea. The hybrid is widely distributed in Britain and has characteristics of both parents which can cause issues in identification. Sessile oak is a native tree categorised as a Principal tree species. These are tree species where silvicultural knowledge provides confidence to enable successful deployment across Britain. The species are either already widely used or are increasing in usage. They will continue to be important unless affected by a new pest or disease or become adversely affected by climate change.

    Understanding the significance and impacts of different populations of Dothistroma septosporum on native and exotic forest species in Britain

    This research aims to determine whether genetically distinct British populations of the foliar pine pathogen, Dothistroma septosporum are phenotypically different from one another.

    Sycamore (SY)

    The sycamore is a large fast-growing deciduous tree to 30 m+ height with a broad native range.  An early introduction to Britain with discussion ongoing as to when – mid 1500 s or possibly earlier – it is now widely naturalised in northern Europe and Britain. A pioneer species adapted to many site conditions found in mixed stands, small plantations, shelterbelts or as individuals in the wider landscape. In the past a much-maligned species based on its non-native status and ability to regenerate frequently and prolifically where not wanted. There is a growing realisation that Sycamore has several benefits both ecologically and as a species for future forest resilience. It is a species that is here to stay and an important component of our woodland and countryside. Sycamore is categorised as a Principal tree species. These are tree species where silvicultural knowledge provides confidence to enable successful deployment across Britain. The species are either already widely used or are increasing in usage.  They will continue to be important unless affected by a new pest or disease or become adversely affected by climate change.
