    Rapid review of evidence on biodiversity in Great Britain’s commercial forests
    Lead Author: Nadia Barsoum
    This publication provides a rapid review and analysis of evidence of the biodiversity supported by commercial high forests in Great Britain. The overall aim of the review is to explore whether there is sufficient evidence to understand relationships between these forest types and their associated biodiversity and to identify gaps in understanding. Such a review […]

    The Ecological Function of Trees outside Woodland (ToW) in Relation to Treescapes and Woodland Creation

     Research project aiming to map and assess the ecological role of Trees outside Woodlands (ToW) in England. By studying ToW distribution, biodiversity value, and conservation needs, the project aims to protect and enhance ToW's contribution to biodiversity in fragmented landscapes.

    Assessment of ECM Communities at the Natural Colonisation Sites

     This project aims to investigate mycorrhizal fungal communities present in areas of natural colonisation, and to examine links between mycorrhizal fungi and wider ecosystem biodiversity, soil properties and plant communities. This data will be compared with mycorrhizal fungal communities in planted sites of similar age to determine the differences between these modes of woodland establishment.

    Fast-tracking Connectivity through Woodland Creation

     This project explores the movement/dispersal of different species (plants, invertebrates, small mammals and fungi) between woodlands. Specifically, the project aims to understand whether newly planted woodlands enhance habitat connectivity for woodland species within fragmented landscapes.

    Integrated (Woodland) Habitat Network Spatial Layer

     This project promotes woodland creation by developing integrated spatial data to enhance biodiversity and habitat connectivity. It identifies optimal areas for tree planting, supports nature recovery and strategic land use. This will help address habitat fragmentation, and ensures the protection of existing wildlife spaces to improve climate resilience and species migration.

    Fungi for Forest Restoration (Fungi4Restor)

     The Fungi4Restor project will investigate the patterns and mechanisms of soil woodland fungal community recovery on former agricultural land. It will also assess the significance of these communities for tree establishment, and explore interventions as potential accelerators for the restoration of soil woodland fungal communities.

    Ecology of Natural Colonisation

     Project to assess the efficacy, biodiversity, carbon impacts and ecology of natural colonisation as a means of establishing new woodland.
