    Factsheet: Climate change and tree species

    Matching species to site and future conditions Tree species are the basic building blocks that form any forest or woodland. If a species is weakened by the impacts of climate change, this could change the composition of the woodland and affect the organisms that live there. Wise species choices can help forests adapt to the changing […]

    Factsheet: Climate change and provenance

    How can careful choice of provenance of planting stock make forests more resilient to the changing climate? Provenance is a forestry term used to describe the location of the stand from which reproductive material (seeds or cuttings) was collected. The choice of provenance of planting stock used to establish new woodlands and the management of existing […]

    Factsheet: Climate change and forest carbon

    How much carbon is there in our woodlands? Forests are a key part of the global carbon cycle. As trees grow, carbon is removed from the atmosphere so there is much interest in tree planting and woodland expansion to help slow down the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gases that is causing rapid climate change. It is […]

    Climate Change Factsheet Series

    These factsheets explore the key risks to our trees, woods and forests from climate change, how we can improve the resilience of our forests to future conditions, and how our trees woods and forests could be managed to mitigate both direct and indirect impacts of the changing climate. They provide short summaries on specific topics […]

    Factsheet: Climate change and risks

    What are the key risks to our forests and woodland? There are many risks to UK forests, woodlands and trees from climate change trends and extreme weather events. These risks can be managed to reduce the potential impact on our forests and the ecosystem services they provide. This factsheet highlights the main risks from climate change […]

    Factsheet: Climate change and insect pests of trees

    Will the impact of damaging forest insects increase? Insects provide many critical ecosystem services, such as pollination, decomposition and pest control. Many beneficial insects appear to be in decline, due to habitat loss, pesticide use and climate change. Only a small number of insect species have become damaging pests of trees, but their occurrence and impact […]

    Understanding and supporting public access to woodlands

    This research project will gather evidence to better understand, enable and support public access to woodlands in England. There are currently evidence gaps in meeting the aims of the England Tree Action Plan and the forthcoming Woodland Access Implementation Plan. This research will contribute directly to the delivery and implementation of the plans.
