    Rapid review of evidence on biodiversity in Great Britain’s commercial forests
    Lead Author: Nadia Barsoum
    This publication provides a rapid review and analysis of evidence of the biodiversity supported by commercial high forests in Great Britain. The overall aim of the review is to explore whether there is sufficient evidence to understand relationships between these forest types and their associated biodiversity and to identify gaps in understanding. Such a review […]

    Timber, carbon and wind risk: towards an integrated model of optimal rotation length
    Lead Author: Vadim Saraev
    Modern forest management practice increasingly adopts an ecosystem services approach to account for the multiple benefits and objectives of forestry. It is also increasingly linked to climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. In view of the priority given to these policy agendas, it is important that new models take an integrated approach to accounting for […]

    Valuing the social and environmental contribution of woodlands and trees in England, Scotland and Wales
    Lead Author: Amy Binner
    Woodlands and trees have a wide-ranging role in the economy, but this is often under-valued in conventional economic indicators. For example, woodlands deliver social and environmental benefits – such as outdoor access, biodiversity and carbon sequestration – which are largely unpriced in economic transactions but which have important impacts on the economy and on society’s […]

    Delivery of ecosystem services by urban forests
    Lead Author: Helen Davies
    This Research Report looks at a broad range of urban forest-based ecosystem services and disservices and, using a literature review, links their provision with four aspects of urban forests (physical scale, physical structure and context in terms of location and proximity to people and land use and ownership). A key objective of this report is […]
