    2016 – Carbon sequestration

    In climate change reporting, removals to forestland, also called the forest sink, measures the net annual accumulation of carbon in forests by woody biomass, soils and litter. Table 4.2 and Figure 4.2 show estimates and projections of net carbon dioxide removals attributed to UK forestry, from 1990 to 2020. In the longer term, the annual rate […]

    2019 – New planting & restocking

    Introduction New planting is the creation of new areas of woodland.  Restocking is the replanting of areas of woodland that have been felled.  New planting can use planting/seeding or natural colonisation.  Restocking can also use planting/seeding or natural regeneration. Data sources and methodology Information about Forestry England (previously Forest Enterprise England), Forestry and Land Scotland (previously Forest Enterprise […]

    2017 – Financial return from forestry investment

    Returns to investors in forestry are made up of sales of timber (standing or felled), sales of other goods and services, increases in the value of the woodland (from annual increment or market factors), and the net income from subsidies (e.g. planting grants) less taxes. The investors’ costs are made up of employment costs and […]

    2018 – Carbon sequestration

    Forest carbon sequestration is the process of increasing the carbon content of the forest through processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (i.e. photosynthesis).  Once sequestered the carbon is stored in the forest within living biomass, soil and litter and contributes to the forest carbon stock.   The forest carbon sink describes the natural reservoir […]
