The results of 3 years commissioned research in the 1990s provide valuable information and advice on this important topic. Care in soil selection and placement, species choice, tree stock type, weed control, and protection against browsing animals is emphasised. Provided that there is a sufficient depth of overlying soil, woodland...
Habitat networks are a key mechanism for reversing the effects of fragmentation on biodiversity while delivering other social and environmental benefits. This research aims to clarify and propose a direction for the implementation of networks in urban environments
Analysis of functional connectivity of woodland and open-ground habitat in the Scottish Borders using the landscape ecology model BEETLE.
Developing practical management guidance through to strategic advice to support forest policy decisions
This project aims to investigate how habitat quality for woodland birds is affected by woodland management and deer browsing by undertaking a large-scale survey of lowland broadleaved woodland in the UK. This will be complemented by a reference survey of upland conifer woodlands where populations of the target bird species...
Decision support tool and Information system for managing Habitats and Rare Priority and Protected Species in British forests
A focal species-based approach to develop and define woodland habitat networks
Forest Research is collaborating with several organisations in order to harness this novel DNA approach for a range of applications in which monitoring of forest biodiversity is required.
Identifying key woodland and heathland habitats, extent of riparian and wet (Carr) woodlands, priority open ground habitat and improvement, restoration and expansion priorities
Improving the connectivity of native woodlands, avoiding damaging non-wooded habitats and land uses and targeting land most suitable for woodland establishment
Information about a regional project linking habitat network expansion opportunities with the regional structure plan
