This research aims to outline what would be needed and what the benefits would be in establishing a longitudinal research network of new planting sites with communities in different locations to monitor the social benefits, attitudes, actions, motivations and barriers associated with this planting over time.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
