    Managing open habitats in upland forests
    Lead Author: Forestry Commission
    The proportion of open space in many forests and woodlands is increasing as forest management plans are implemented and forests are restructured. Landowners and forest managers are increasingly being encouraged to manage this ground for biodiversity objectives but in some situations the management of open ground may be more complex and challenging than the management […]

    Ecosystem services and forest management
    Lead Author: Louise Sing
    The ecosystem services concept helps describe the benefits which humans receive from nature and natural processes in a way that can influence policy and management decision making. The ability of trees, woodlands and forests to provide a wide range of ecosystem services is very much dependent on where they are located and how they are […]

    Trees Outside Woodland (TOW)

     The National Forest Inventory (NFI) monitors woodland trees in Britain, yet many trees do not grow in woodland, but are found singly, in hedgerows and in parks and gardens, or as small wood features in both agricultural and urban landscapes. These trees outside woodlands are important natural resources and make important contributions to national carbon stocks, […]

    [Archive] Borates for stump protection: a literature review
    Lead Author: J.E. Pratt
    The use of borates for the control of Fomes root and butt rot of conifers is reviewed in relation to the history of their use in wood preservatives, their efficacy as stump treatment materials, and their effect on the environment. Effectiveness, phytotoxicity, vertebrate toxicity, and environmental impact are all considered. Borates are effective in controlling […]

    Forest damage by deer depends on cross‐scale interactions between climate, deer density and landscape structure
    Lead Author: Chloe Bellamy
    This journal paper investigates the factors that drive deer damage to woodlands using the National Forest Inventory sample square data. We found that the likelihood of damage to trees depends on cross-scale interactions between climate, deer density and landscape structure. The complex interactive effects uncovered are difficult to interpret. We therefore provide an interactive Deer Damage Tool for practitioners to visualize how afforestation is likely to influence the probability of deer damage in different forests and regions across Britain.
