Opportunities to use woodland measures for Natural Flood Management (NFM) in the Derwent Catchment: Scoping Report

Lead Author: Huw Thomas

Forest Research was commissioned by Forestry England to carry out a desk-based GIS exercise to determine the potential opportunities of implementing NFM measures in 4 forest areas in the Derwent Catchment. The study focused on the Parkwood Isel, Howgill and Messengermire, Setmurthy and Matterdale forest areas. A desk-based GIS exercise was carried out by Forest Research […]

Influencing behaviour for resilient treescapes: Rapid Evidence Assessment

Lead Author: Bianca Ambrose-Oji

The Rapid Evidence Assessment considers the following: The impact of policy tools – grants, subsidies, programmes, provision of advice – on the response of land managers to tree pests and diseases The potential of formal networks to act as disseminators of information and knowledge, and mediators of change.

Quantifying the hydrological effect of woodland creation in the Camowen and Drumragh catchments, Omagh, Northern Ireland

Lead Author: Huw Thomas

A rainfall-runoff model based on the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Runoff Curve Number method has been applied to the catchments draining to Omagh, Northern Ireland, to assess the potential effect of woodland creation on flood flows. Realistic woodland creation targets that would extend woodland cover to 13.8% of the catchment was predicted to reduce more […]

Quantifying the hydrological effect of woodland creation in the Camowen and Drumragh catchments, Omagh, Northern Ireland

Lead Author: Huw Thomas

The ‘Runoff Curve Number’ rainfall-runoff model, developed by the USDA Soil Conservation Service, was applied to the catchments draining to Omagh, to assess the potential effect of woodland creation on flood flows. The ‘Runoff Curve Number’ method provides a potentially powerful tool for evaluating the impact of land use change and management on surface runoff, as […]

Opportunity mapping for woodland creation to reduce flood risk in Northern Ireland

Lead Author: Huw Thomas

The report provide results, methods and details of the source data used in a mapping project to provide GIS spatial datasets which identify priority areas for woodland creation to benefit flood risk management in Northern Ireland. Maps are also available in an additional document. The results provide a strong basis for developing and refining catchment strategies, initiatives […]
