Opportunity mapping for woodland creation to meet the objectives of the Water Framework Directive

Lead Author: Samantha Broadmeadow
Map-based case study to assess how woodland creation could be better targeted within catchments to locations where it would contribute most to maximising water and other benefits, while minimising risks. By Samantha Broadmeadow, Tom Nisbet, Martyn Silgram & Katrina Morrow. Final report to the Environment Agency and Forestry Commission England, May 2009. Related pages Forest […]
