Project page about Genetic conservation in forestry.This project also considers various aspects of the genetic diversity of forest dwelling species.
We investigated whether biodiversity information obtained from DNA metabarcoding of mass-trapped arthropods and from a range of taxa-based surrogate measures of biodiversity (e.g. carabid beetles, vascular plants) provide: 1) similar estimates of alpha and beta diversity and 2) provide similar forest management related conclusions. We also explored how well habitat-based...
Dothistroma septosporum, Dothistroma needle blight, DNB, fungicides, copper, aerial application
Our approach to management is to breed and release a host-specific predatory beetle, Rhizophagus grandis, that is found within the pest’s natural range. This strategy is known as ‘classical’ biological control. The biological control programme has been, and continues to be highly successful because of the extraordinary ability of the predator...
How urban greenspace can be used to provide an ideal setting for education and learning, and the potential of urban woodlands and greenspaces as an education and learning resource and case study examples
Information on the development pressures, practical considerations, policy and issues of greenspace provision in urban areas
A list of all literature available (updated to December 2015) about Dothistroma in alphabetical order (D-F)
Acetamiprid, chlorantraniliprole, and in some situations the physical barriers MultiPro® or Kvaae® wax, can be alternatives to traditional synthetic pyrethroid insecticides for the protection of young conifers from damage by the large pine weevil Hylobius abietis L.
Woodland offers a wide range of benefits including environmental benefits
The Land Use and Ecosystem Services Research Group provides services to the forestry and environment sectors in the following areas: Evidence & knowledge These services are focussed on generating ecological, environmental, and social evidence and knowledge. We do experimental work, talk to people, and derive new evidence from existing data. For example,...
