A summary of methods of establishing, maintaining and harvesting forest crops with advice on planning and other management considerations for owners, agents and foresters.
This booklet is designed for field use. It provides a simple guide to the control of volume to be removed when marking a thinning. There are three sections. The first section describes the Yield Class system and the assessment of yield class in a stand. The second section covers thinning...
The tables included in this Booklet are designed as aids to the management of forests in British conditions and where profitability is a primary objective. The Booklet is divided into four parts which are: The Yield Class System of Classifying Growth Potential Thinning Control Production Forecasting Yield Tables This publication...
With the general introduction of metric measurements in the dedicated and approved woodlands schemes with effect from October 1971, the opportunity has been taken to re-examine the form of the standard Plan of Operations. This study has been carried out by the Forestry Commission in close consultation with the Timber...
This Booklet contains tables which give volumes of softwood sawlogs for given lengths and top diameters in metric units.
This guide outlines proposals for the introduction of the metric system of weights and measures in British forestry and has been approved by the Forestry Commission and the Home Grown Timber Advisory Committee as a basis for more detailed planning by the individual sectors of the industry.
A project within the EFI Network Fund, developing a FOSS GIS modelling platform for stand growth and risk of wind damage.
Forest Research, Forestry & Land Scotland and Forestry England have co-developed an evidence based, repeatable approach for assessing the biodiversity potential of the National Forest Estate. Several extent, condition, connectivity and diversity metrics are measured and aggregated into a Combined Biodiversity Index. An online, interactive tool allows users to explore mapped scores.
Project quantifying changes in soil carbon and tree biomass caused by different ground preparation practices during woodland creation.
Understanding how we can increase the resilience of forest systems to future extreme drought events is increasingly important as these events become more frequent and intense. Diversifying production forests using intimate mixtures of trees with complementary functional traits is considered as one promising silvicultural approach that may increase drought resilience....
This report reviews existing studies estimating future timber prices and price elasticities of demand for emerging species and different product categories, focusing on studies most relevant to UK timber markets. The emerging species considered are those tree species predicted to have a more prominent role in UK forestry in the...
