Practical considerations for urban greenspace sites with regards to colonisation by particular invasive species
Planted forests of non-native conifers make up around 36% of Britain’s total wooded area. Increasing the area of native woodlands – including converting non-native conifer to native woodland where appropriate – is an aim of the UK Forestry Standard Guidelines on Biodiversity.

Summary of Programme The programme will pursue innovative approaches to forest inventories, data acquisition, high-quality forestry statistics and forest modelling in support of forest policy and practice. New methods will be developed and integrated to inform choices on forest capital. Sustainable forest management is only possible with the appropriate data...
This Leaflet provides practical advice to forest managers on all the important aspects of upland restocking practice.
The production and use of tubed conifer seedlings in Britain have been studied between 1968 and 1973 in an extensive research and development programme based initially on Canadian practice. Results from the many nursery and forest experiments are described and form the basis for practical recommendations (see Chapter 6) on...
