    Forland Landscape Restoration

     The ForLand-Restoration project is developing a forest landscape restoration decision support platform. A collaborative research project funded by Climate-KIC to explore landscape restoration opportunities with stakeholders with the aim of reaching consensus on land use decisions.

    Climate change impacts

     Examining the effects of climate change on woodland and forestry.

    Modelling scenarios for woodland expansion in Scotland

     A model was developed to represent the environment of Scotland, including its many different types of land managers and their views about woodland creation. By representing alternative scenarios in the model, the research explored how each set of choices might affect the benefits we get from the environment over the next 100 years and the contribution to woodland cover targets.

    Above and belowground ecological linkages in temperate forest soils

     Olivia Azevedo, PhD studentship, University of Stirling (2019-2022)   Background Forests are crucial for biodiversity and also provide numerous ecosystem services that enhance human welfare. However, when studying forests, often the complexity of life belowground either goes unnoticed or it is studied in isolation from its aboveground component. Compartmentalising the above and belowground...

    Attitudes to Woodland Expansion in Southern Scotland

     A review of the methods available for eliciting local attitudes to woodland expansion (or other land use change), and findings from an attitudinal study in Southern Scotland.

    The social dimensions of oak processionary moth (OPM) management

     Management of oak processionary moth (OPM) is becoming an increasing challenge to land managers of trees and woodlands in urban and rural areas as the pest continues to spread outwards from original infestation sites in London. This work looks at how landowners and other managers of trees are responding to...

    BioCoRe: An interactive/adaptable landscape ecology approach for targeting restoration

     How we manage priority habitats within increasingly fragmented landscapes is a critical conservation issue.   Practitioners and policy makers are often faced with the dilemma of deciding where to focus limited resources, but evidence on where particular actions will have the largest return on investment is lacking.  To aid this decision...

    Valuing tree and forest ecosystem services

     Our research explores the value of different tree and forest ecosystem services and uses innovative methods to identify and capture those values

    Valuing and governing tree and forest ecosystem services

     This research provides new insights into how to recognise and understand the value of ecosystem services provided by trees and forests.

    Understanding stakeholder visions for woodland expansion in Scotland

     The development of stakeholder visions for woodland expansion in Scotland from analysing organisational documents, workshops and interviews.

    Exploring changes in ecosystem services under varying scenarios

     Exploration of the resilience of woodlands to future change by assessing how ecosystem service values and natural capital stocks of woodlands may be affected by change through the application of the UK National Ecosystem Assessment (UK NEA) scenarios and different management approaches, e.g. forest diversification through the application of forest management alternatives
