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 […]
This report details a series of five experiments which were initiated to investigate the development of multiple leaders following simulated browsing/weevil damage to three size classes of Sitka spruce and Japanese larch immediately after planting.
A range of biotechnological tools has been used by Forest Research to enhance the efficiencies of research and development programmes associated with tree breeding and genetic conservation. This Information Note presents some examples where such tools have been applied. These include enhancement of flowering in conifers, assessment of the efficiency of seed orchards, characterisation of […]

Conserving the genetic diversity within our tree species and the processes that determine it are important for sustainable forest management and increasing the resilience of Britain’s forests and woodlands. The genetic diversity within a tree species at any one time is the result of many dynamic processes, and it provides the source for future adapted […]
This Paper presents the report of the seminar, which represents more an interim review rather than a record of completed research. The seminar covered the following main subject area: amenity tree management, better value trees, planting on man-made sites, and clonal selection.
