    [Archive] Yield models for forest management

    Lead Author: P.N. Edwards
    This booklet, with its associated yield models and curves, replaces Forestry Commission Booklet Number 34 Forest Management Tables (Metric) by G. J. Hamilton and J. M. Christie, which was published by HMSO in 1971. Yield models can be constructed to simulate the effects of any silvicultural treatment, and the ‘normal yield tables’ included in the […]

    Building wildfire resilience into forest management planning

    Lead Author: Forestry Commission
    Wildfire events are predicted to increase in frequency in the UK due to increased land-use pressure and climate change. Wildfires can have a number of impacts on sustainable forest management and, in some extreme cases, may have devastating human and environmental consequences. Reducing the incidence and impact of wildfires in forests and woodlands through good […]

    Human dimensions of adaptive forest management and climate change

    Lead Author: Anna Lawrence
    Adaptive forest management is a systematic process for continually improving forest management, in conditions of complexity and uncertainty, by learning from the outcomes of experiments and operational practice. Adaptive management has often been proposed as a suitable approach for dealing with uncertainty and complexity in natural systems, particularly in relation to climate change.Some of the […]

    [Archive] Forest management and the harvesting and marketing of wood in Sweden

    Lead Author: B.W. Holtam
    This Bulletin presents the findings of a team of Forestry Commission Officers who visited Sweden and Norway in 1965. The main object of the visit was to study managerial, organisational and technical practices which seemed likely to assist in promoting greater efficiency in the creation and maintenance of state and private woodlands at home and […]

    What do Forest Managers want to know about adaptation?

    Lead Author: Gail Atkinson
    Research exploring what forest managers want to know about climate change adaptation. Adaptation to climate change involves adjusting Forest Management to anticipate future changes. Starting to adapt woodland and forests to the changing climate now is important if owners and society wish to continue to benefit from the range of services they provide, capitalise on opportunities […]
