In this project we have examined pollen flow in species such as oak and cherry

Forest Genetic Resources Strategy

Forest Research is collaborating with several organisations in order to harness this novel DNA approach for a range of applications in which monitoring of forest biodiversity is required.

Forest research is currently exploring the feasibility of establishing meta barcoding in our laboratory to confirm the presence of clones, species and species assemblages.

In this project we have utilised existing and developed new microsatellite markers in model species such as wood ants, wood crickets and twinflower to gain insight into the effect of landscape features.

Forest Research involvement with European Forest Genetic Resources Programme

Project page about Genetic conservation in forestry. This project also considers various aspects of the genetic diversity of forest dwelling species.

Details of the Forest Management Adaption project working to ensure forests are sustainable in the future

This project aims to investigate how habitat quality for woodland birds is affected by woodland management and deer browsing by undertaking a large-scale survey of lowland broadleaved woodland in the UK. This will be complemented by a reference survey of upland conifer woodlands where populations of the target bird species...

This four-year project involved a partnership of research organisations and local authorities from northern France and southern England, two regions with similar production and semi-natural forest ecosystems. Forest Research helped to develop common management strategies to maximise the economic, environmental and social benefits from forests in the two regions and...
