    The CARBINE forest sector carbon accounting model

     The CARBINE model was first developed in 1988 by the Research Division of the Forestry Commission, now Forest Research. The development of CARBINE represented one of the first attempts to systematically model the exchanges of carbon between the atmosphere, various types of forests and other long-term reservoirs of carbon such as harvested wood products. This page briefly describes the CARBINE model.

    Obtaining Evidence for Reviewing Trees and Peat Buffer Distances

     Understanding the interaction between peatland and woodland is important when making decisions to support delivery of the English Trees Action Plan (ETAP) and England Peat Action Plan (EPAP). This project will fill gaps in the evidence base – specifically in relation to the hydrological connection between the two.

    Ectomycorrhizal Communities in Forests: Factors Shaping Ecosystem Services and Resilience in a Changing Climate

     This project examines the role of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) communities in forest resilience to drought and on carbon and nutrient balances in single and mixed tree species woodlands. The findings will guide resilient woodland management in the face of climate change.

    Comparing Carbon Budgets for Different Land Use

     This project will provide a direct comparison of the full life cycle carbon impacts of various land use change options. Land use changes examined include establishment of wind farms, solar farms, energy crops (short rotation coppice willow and Miscanthus), short rotation forests, new woodland creation and agroforestry.

    Expanding Agroforestry

     The Expanding Agroforestry project aims to support the creation of agroforestry in the UK through providing research to support policy and practitioners through evidence reviews and the collection of underpinning empirical evidence.

    Adapting Vacant and Derelict Land for Tree Planting for Climate Change

     Vacant and Derelict Land (VDL) woodland will contribute beneficial ecosystem services to UK communities. To realise these benefits, such woodlands must be resilient to current and future climate change risks. This requires understanding these risks and the adaptation and mitigation approaches that can minimise them.

    Extension of the Climate Change Hub

     Research project exploring how to enhance the Climate Change Hub to better engage forestry practitioners and stakeholders. It aims to expand the Hub's content to include mitigation guidance.

    Timber prices and elasticities for emerging species and different product categories: An evidence review
    Lead Author: Robert Hattersley
    This report reviews existing studies estimating future timber prices and price elasticities of demand for emerging species and different product categories, focusing on studies most relevant to UK timber markets. The emerging species considered are those tree species predicted to have a more prominent role in UK forestry in the future. Undertaken as part of […]

    Land Use for Net Zero, Nature and People (LUNZ) Hub

     The LUNZ Hub is an innovative transdisciplinary research initiative helping to drive transformational land use change in the UK needed to achieve net zero by 2050.

    Developing a Woodland Water Code

     The design and development of a Woodland Water Code (WWC) to act as a crediting mechanism to encourage private investment in trees for the improvement of the freshwater environment.

    Expanding Agroforestry: A Tree Species Guide for Agroforestry in the UK

     This ‘Tree Species Guide for UK Agroforestry Systems’ provides an overview of 33 species of trees and shrubs that could be planted in UK agroforestry systems.

    Forestry & Woodland Resilience to Drought (FORWaRD)

     Research project to address knowledge gaps in tree response to drought in the UK and inform decisions on both species choice and management to enable the quantification of changing risk under alternative future climate change scenarios to increase forest resilience and improved decision-making.
