    Allometric relationships for urban trees in Great Britain
    Lead Author: Madalena Vaz Monteiro
    Tree allometry describes the relationships between tree biometric variables, such as tree diameter, height and crown width. Understanding of these relationships helps urban foresters to assess many of the economic and ecological benefits (e.g. carbon storage, rainwater interception and regulation of temperatures) provided by trees, such as through the use of the urban forest management […]

    Red band needle blight of conifers in Britain
    Lead Author: Anna Brown
    Red band needle blight is an economically important disease affecting a number of coniferous trees, in particular pines. The disease has a world-wide distribution but until recently it was mainly of concern in the Southern Hemisphere. In much of the world, including Britain, it is caused by the fungus Dothistroma septosporum. Red band needle blight […]

    Threshold Response to Extreme Drought Shifts Inter-Tree Growth Dominance in Pinus sylvestris
    Lead Author: Tom Ovenden
    Many studies quantify short-term drought impact on tree growth relative to pre-drought growth averages. However, fewer studies examine the extent to which droughts of differing severity differentially impact tree growth or shape stand dynamics. Focusing on three droughts in high and low density stands of Pinus sylvestris in Scotland, we calculated pre-drought growth averages using […]
