    Factsheet: Climate change and insect pests of trees

     Will the impact of damaging forest insects increase? Insects provide many critical ecosystem services, such as pollination, decomposition and pest control. Many beneficial insects appear to be in decline, due to habitat loss, pesticide use and climate change. Only a few insect species have become damaging pests of trees, but their occurrence and impact may unfortunately […]

    Climate change: impacts and adaptation in England’s woodlands
    Lead Author: Duncan Ray
    The changing climate presents a challenge for forest planning and forest management in England because the projected increases in temperature, changes in the seasonality of rainfall, and an increased frequency of extreme events add complexity to species selection and silvicultural practice. By actively adjusting forest management now, to anticipate future changes, we can hope to […]

    Understanding the carbon and greenhouse gas balance of forests in Britain
    Lead Author: James Morison
    Forests and woodlands represent a substantial stock of carbon that is contained in soil, trees and other vegetation. They are a key component of the global carbon cycle and their effective management, at both global and regional scales, is an important mechanism for reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Understanding what determines the size of […]

    Tree species and provenance

     Information on over 60 species that are either widely grown in British forests at the present time or which could play an increasing role in the future. Focus is on species which could be expected to produce usable timber in British conditions. Pages outline the natural distribution, summarise our knowledge of their site and climatic preferences and other silvicultural characteristics, and briefly cover information on suitable seed origins and provenances.
