A multi-species modelling approach to examine the impact of alternative climate change adaptation strategies on range shifting ability in a fragmented landscape
This paper describes research to test the effects of varying ‘climate change adaptation strategies’ on the ability of different animals to move through the landscape in response to changing climatic conditions. The adaptation strategies […]
1. Principles
The principles underlying the guidance presented below are:
maintaining, where possible, the values and benefits associated with ash woodlands and iconic trees;
securing an economic return where timber production is an important objective;
maintaining as much genetic diversity in ash trees as possible with the aim of ensuring the presence of ash in the long term; and
minimising impacts […]
