Research investigating barriers and solutions for translating forest and land manager knowledge into action to prevent and mitigate tree pest and disease impacts and build resilience into our treescapes.
Guidance to the tree felling licences required by the forestry authorities in the United Kingdom when felling trees, especially larch trees, infected by Phytophthora diseases, especially Phytophthora ramorum and Phytophthora kernovii (previously P. kernoviae)

Our soil surveyors/foresters and scientists provide bespoke advice on practical soil management for the sustainable, healthy growth of diverse tree species and woodlands.
Service overview
Forest Research soils experts have worked on projects to help forest managers, owners, regulators and policy-makers to develop practical, evidence-based methods for sustainable soil management throughout the UK.
Soils are a fundamental contributor […]
Original aims of the research, studies of polyphenol composition, use of gas-liquid chromatograph, major study of Scots pine, identifying biochemical markers for pest and disease, isozyme markers, DNA-based techniques
