New decision-making tool helps ecosystem services to adapt to the potential impact of climate change on Scottish forests In a paper published in Environmental Research Letters Michal Petr and colleagues investigate the impacts of future climate change on forest ecosystem services in Scotland and describe a new approach to supporting...
B4EST will offer new understanding about how adaptive forest breeding can be used to increase forest survival, health, resilience and productivity under climate change and natural disturbances, while maintaining genetic diversity and key ecological functions.
How will the changing environment impact bark-boring insects? Climate change projections indicate more frequent extreme weather events, such as storms, heatwaves, droughts, and floods. One of the likely consequences of this will be an abundance of stressed trees with weakened defences against pests, creating favourable conditions for some species of...
