Woodland creation and management deliver a wide range of environmental benefits. The extent of those benefits is determined by a range of factors, including the type of woodland, the way it is managed, and its position in the landscape.
This Research Note summarises current evidence on how the management, creation, and configuration of woodlands within a landscape affect biodiversity, ecosystem resilience, and key environmental benefits.
The Research Note concludes by discussing the potential synergies and trade-offs between different environmental benefits, and their interaction with social and economic outputs.
