    2016 – Environment

     Introduction The statistics presented in the Environment chapter of this release cover: populations of wild birds; public opinion on tree health; and woodland fires. Woodland fires Wildfires, including woodland fires, are uncontrolled vegetation fires. Although they can start naturally, the majority are caused by people, either accidentally or deliberately. Wildfires can impact on transport network and power lines; damage property and businesses; […]

    Adaptation Measures

     In order to identify the most appropriate adaptation measures, forest and woodland managers should consider their management objectives alongside an assessment of climate change risks for their sites. Adaptation measures that will reduce the most immediate and greatest risks should be prioritised.

    Windthrow

     Wind is a major threat to woodlands and forests across the United Kingdom, particularly in upland and western areas. Climate change projections include an increased frequency of storms, an increase in wind speeds, and increased rainfall, which are expected to increase the risk of windthrow.

    NFI Woodland Ecological Condition

     There is a growing requirement across government, non-governmental organisations and the private sector for better evidence concerning the ecological condition of British woodlands. British woodlands are dynamic entities and their ecological condition changes in response to factors such as changing woodland management, general land use practices and climate change.  Evidence of the current state of […]

    Take action

     Deciding when, where and how to adapt, over what timescales and how to monitor progress can involve complex decisions. The Climate Change Hub has been designed to help inform these decisions, whilst showing how others are approaching adaptation.

    Adapting infrastructure

     Forest infrastructure includes forest roads and rides, bridges, drainage systems, buildings and other facilities that enable management and access. Infrastructure plays a key role in the resilience of forests to climate change risks, such as flood water drainage and access for wildfire response.
