Regeneration Guidance for Tree Planting on Vacant and Derelict Land

There are potentially many Vacant and Derelict Land (VDL) sites which could be used for the establishment of vegetation, such as trees and woodland. Such sites are often challenging and historically there has been mixed success in delivering vegetation establishment schemes. A clear delivery pathway for VDL sites, supported by contemporary technical guidance, is needed to ensure that schemes are successful, and the benefits are fully realised.

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.

ESCom 2020 workshop: Scotland’s National Ecological Network – progress and practicalities

Lead Author: Chloe Bellamy

Summary of a workshop for researchers, policymakers and practitioners to discuss the progress and practicalities of developing a National Ecological Network in Scotland. Embedded in this approach to more sustainable land use is the need to take stock of progress towards regional and national ecological networks to increase resilience into the future.

Valuing mental health benefits of forests

This research examines approaches to valuation of the mental health benefits of forests and proposes how monetary valuation of these benefits can be developed further. It examines metrics to quantify mental health impacts, methodologies to value changes in these and potential for incorporating associated values into natural capital accounting

The difference in roots traits under different tree species as influenced by soil type in forest ecosystems in Bulgaria and the UK

Lyudmila Lozanova, short-term studentship, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (2016) Summary This study investigated selected root traits such fine root length, belowground fine mass (biomass and necromass) distribution across different root diameter classes and soil depths, and patterns of temporal dynamics in root biomass and necromass.
