Summary of Programme
Increasing woodland cover is a priority for all three nations, and there are now ambitious targets for woodland creation across Britain. This provides opportunities to restore degraded landscapes as well as a means of tackling the climate and biodiversity crises. However, there is a need for research to understand more about the best […]
The regeneration of brownfield land to green space can deliver multiple benefits to society and the environment through improvements in the quality of a site and its surrounding landscape. Successful delivery of regeneration projects is dependent on the planning of project delivery and on good project management. This Practice Note describes the process of brownfield […]
This Research Note describes the negative impact that elevated urban temperatures can have on human thermal comfort and health and how urban green infrastructure can help lessen this impact.
Contract report to the Department for Communities and Local Government detailing research over a ten-year period to examine tree growth on modern containment landfill sites.
In 1993-4, experimental tree species plots were set up on five clay capped landfill sites across England, following newly proposed standards for tree establishment. Initial data collection indicated that useful insights […]
