Abstract:
... The invasive phytopathogen Phytophthora ramorum has caused extensive infection of larch forest across areas of the UK, particularly in Southwest England, South Wales and Southwest Scotland. At present, landscape level assessment of the disease in these areas is conducted manually by tree health surveyors during helicopter surveys. Airborne laser scanning (ALS), also known as LiDAR, has previously ...

Abstract:
... At moderate to high densities ungulates can impact negatively on forest crops and these may be managed by lethal control. In production forestry an understanding of the relationship between ungulate density, habitat-related factors and the incidence of tree damage may promote more efficient ungulate damage management than by lethal control alone. In plantation forests in the north east of England, ...

We explore how the ground flora of a temperate woodland (Wytham Woods, southern England) changed in terms of species-richness, cover and biomass over five decades; what the drivers of change were; and possible future change as a consequence of the decline in Fraxinus excelsior as a canopy dominant. Vascular plants were recorded from 164 permanent, 10x10 m plots, distributed as a 141 m grid, in 197 ...

Abstract:
... Bats use roosts for protection, sociality and reproduction. Lack of knowledge regarding the specific roost preferences of tree-dwelling bats means that roosts are regularly removed from woodland during felling and thinning interventions, even when woodlands are managed to promote biodiversity. The often-unintentional loss of roosts this way continues to constrain efforts to conserve many rare bat ...

Changing economics in the 20th century led to losses and fragmentation of semi-natural woodland in Britain and to a reduction in active woodland management with many becoming increasingly neglected, even-aged and with closed canopy. Lack of woodland management is known to contribute to declines in some taxonomic groups, for example birds. However, the response of bats to changes in woodland struct ...

The two spotted oak buprestid Agrilus biguttatus is strongly associated with AOD, a ...

Both pine and oak form ectomycorrhizas that cover their roots and extend into the soil, facilitating tree water and nutrient uptake in exchange for photosynthetic carbon. Forming the interface between the soil and tree root ...

Abstract:
... Recently-restored forests on former agricultural land have impoverished herbaceous understories. This is partly due to the poor colonizing capacity of understory plants, which makes them slow in responding to land use change. Functional traits can be used to compare old and recent understories and provide insight about which plant syndromes are missing after restoration intervention. In this work, ...
