    New climate change information modifies frames and decisions of decision makers: an exploratory study in forest planning
    Lead Author: Michal Petr
    This paper explores how information about climate change and its impacts on the provision of forest products and services, influences forest planners’ decisions about forest management. It explains that research has found that when this information was presented to forest planners, it resulted in forest management actions being planned to occur at more appropriate […]

    Climate Change Factsheet Series

     These factsheets explore the key risks to our trees, woods and forests from climate change, how we can improve the resilience of our forests to future conditions, and how our trees woods and forests could be managed to mitigate both direct and indirect impacts of the changing climate. They provide short summaries on specific topics […]

    Factsheet: Climate change and tree diseases (canker)
    Lead Author: Carolyn Riddell
    Canker-inducing pathogens kill the inner, living bark of trees resulting in poorer growth or mortality of affected individuals which limits their contribution to climate change mitigation.

    Factsheet: Climate change and tree diseases (Phytophthora)
    Lead Author: Debra Fredrickson Matika
    Milder and wetter winters, followed by increased spring rainfall, are likely to enhance the survival and infection potential of many tree pathogens. Hotter, drier summers leading to drought stress in trees will also increase their susceptibility to disease and expand the distribution range of some pathogens. The increased incidence and severity of diseases caused by Phytophthora species reduces the benefits that trees provide, including climate change mitigation.

    The origins of shake and drought crack in trees

     The soil conditions experienced by a growing tree are reproduced under controlled conditions. Fluid distributions with the tree are visualised using magnetic resonance imaging in order to identify stresses and determine if these are linked to drought cracking and shake.
