This ‘Tree Species Guide for UK Agroforestry Systems’ provides an overview of 33 species of trees and shrubs that could be planted in UK agroforestry systems.

Agroforestry, the integration of managed trees and agriculture, will help meet national tree planting commitments and provide social, environmental and economic benefits. This project will develop and test a monitoring and evaluation framework for agroforestry agri-environment schemes to measure scheme outcomes and improve future offers.

Summary of Programme Environmental change describes the far-reaching shifts in the earth’s life systems caused by human-induced effects on climate, atmospheric composition and land use.  Forests offer opportunities for mitigation of the effects of environmental change (e.g. carbon sequestration, slope stabilisation), and forests can be managed over the long-term to...
