Forest Research is developing a framework to assess the performance of UK tree species against a comprehensive set of evaluation criteria. The framework will be used with key industry stakeholders to select the most promising species for promotion, to diversify species composition and increase the resilience of our forests and...

Overview Woodland creation and management deliver a wide range of environmental benefits. The extent of those benefits is determined by a range of factors, including the type of woodland, the way it is managed, and its position in the landscape. This Research Note summarises current evidence on how the management,...
