    Adapting Vacant and Derelict Land for Tree Planting for Climate Change

     Vacant and Derelict Land (VDL) woodland will contribute beneficial ecosystem services to UK communities. To realise these benefits, such woodlands must be resilient to current and future climate change risks. This requires understanding these risks and the adaptation and mitigation approaches that can minimise them.

    Ectomycorrhizal Communities in Forests: Factors Shaping Ecosystem Services and Resilience in a Changing Climate

     This project examines the role of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) communities in forest resilience to drought and on carbon and nutrient balances in single and mixed tree species woodlands. The findings will guide resilient woodland management in the face of climate change.

    Obtaining Evidence for Reviewing Trees and Peat Buffer Distances

     Understanding the interaction between peatland and woodland is important when making decisions to support delivery of the English Trees Action Plan (ETAP) and England Peat Action Plan (EPAP). This project will fill gaps in the evidence base – specifically in relation to the hydrological connection between the two.

    Comparing Carbon Budgets for Different Land Use

     This project will provide a direct comparison of the full life cycle carbon impacts of various land use change options. Land use changes examined include establishment of wind farms, solar farms, energy crops (short rotation coppice willow and Miscanthus), short rotation forests, new woodland creation and agroforestry.
