The landscape ecology of forests, woodlands and trees

This conference will bring together people from science, policy, conservation and industry, to learn from each other, and identify ways in which landscape ecology can support ambitious policy targets, including those for woodland expansion, greenhouse gas reduction, biodiversity conservation, commercial viability, and sustainable development goals.

Forest Resarch speakers and topics are:

Alice Broome – a biodiversity index for Britain’s national forests

Louise Sing – lessons from applying ecosystems services in forest planning

Mike Perks – the importance of carbon sequestration rate considerations in area targets for afforestation

Maddie Grey – mapping and characterising trees outside woodlands and hedgerows with remote sensing
