Yield models are one of the foundations of forest management. They provide information about the patterns of tree growth and potential productivity that can be expected in forest stands of different tree species, with varying growth rates, when managed in different ways. Yield models are in daily use by forest...
The Forestry Commission Journal was introduced as a way to communicate information on a wide range of topics which could not be communicated through ‘ordinary official channels’, and was intended to be a means of exchanging the opinions and experiences of all members of the staff. This thirty-second Journal includes...
The research will investigate the ecological genetics of the ash dieback pathogen Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus and its ability to evolve in response to natural selection.
Research to improve our understanding of how forests and woodlands can contribute to the carbon balance at both local and global scales
The page summarises the findings of Forest Research’s comprehensive literature review to assess economic evidence on the health benefits provided by street trees.
This research aims to find out how to expand woodland cover in a way that maximises ecological and social benefits. The programme complements the other six programmes and follows collaborative principles to produce tools which support land managers, stakeholders and policymakers to increase engagement with woodland creation activities
What is tree resilience, and how can we support better management for tree health in the face of climate change and pests and diseases?
The Future Proofing Plant Health project aims to provide evidence for the implementation of the GB Plant Biosecurity Strategy. It will focus on strategic areas related to new and emerging pests and diseases (prevention, detection, control, resilience), as well as identifying priority pests, diseases and pathways.
Location, situation, relief and drainage, climate, geology and soils, tree species and history
The tiny white Hymenoscyphus fraxineus fruiting bodies on the rachises (stalks) of the previous year’s fallen leaves from an infected ash tree. These mushroom-like fruiting bodies develop and burst open in summer, releasing thousands of spores into the air. The spores can be blown by the wind on to the...
