    Programme 5 Achieving multiple ecosystem benefits

     Summary of Programme Trees, woods and forests provide multiple benefits to society and many of these are recognised in the forestry and woodland strategies spanning the next 25-50 years. In particular, there are benefits to the environment through climate change mitigation and adaptation, air quality improvement, protecting water quality and soil health, flood mitigation and addressing […]

    Programme 2 Markets for forest products and services

     Summary of Programme The move to a low carbon economy is expected to place an increasing demand on timber and forest products and there is a need to increase our domestic production to support sustainable economic growth in the sector. Increasing demand for sustainable construction and infrastructure materials as well as biomass is expected. An over-arching objective […]

    An analytical framework for spatially targeted management of natural capital

     A major sustainability challenge is determining where to target management to enhance natural capital and the ecosystem services it provides. Achieving this understanding is difficult, given that the effects of most actions vary according to wider environmental conditions; and this context dependency is typically poorly understood. Here, we describe an analytical framework that helps meet […]

    Factsheet: Climate change and biodiversity

     More biodiverse woodlands are better able to resist or adapt to threats, such as climate change. This enhanced resilience supports the continuity of woodlands and the ecosystem services they provide. Biodiversity is the variation at different levels of biological organisation - the genes within a species; the species within a community; and the diversity between communities and ecosystems.

    Urban Forests in a European Perspective: what can the National Forest Inventory tell us?
    Lead Author: Natalie Marie Gulsrud
    This pilot project demonstrates that the NFI data, in combination with the DEGURBA approach, provides existing data on European urban forests. Now that we know what we have, there is potential to quantify and qualify the state and trends of European urban forests. Moving forward we can draw on existing policies and concepts such as […]

    Modelling scenarios for woodland expansion in Scotland

     A model was developed to represent the environment of Scotland, including its many different types of land managers and their views about woodland creation. By representing alternative scenarios in the model, the research explored how each set of choices might affect the benefits we get from the environment over the next 100 years and the contribution to woodland cover targets.
