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, ...

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 ...

The influence of single trees on saturated hydraulic conductivity (K s) was investigated for six isolated oak trees (Quercus robur) growing on a Dystric Gleysol in an area of parkland in northwest England. The K s was measured within the A soil horizon over a 0.10-0.25m depth using a borehole permeameter. A dataset of 119 K s values was obtained and comprises of 55 values from around 1 oak tree at ...

Abstract:
... The native red squirrel is being replaced by the introduced North American eastern grey squirrel in the UK. Here, Sitka spruce dominated plantations containing a larch and pine element offer the best long-term opportunity to conserve the red squirrel because they can sustain populations in a forest environment where the competitive advantage of the grey squirrel is reduced. Forest habitat manageme ...

Abstract:
... Moths are a vital ecosystem component and are currently undergoing extensive and severe declines across multiple species, partly attributed to habitat alteration. Although most remaining forest cover in Europe consists of intensively managed plantation woodlands, no studies have examined the influence of management practices on moth communities within plantations. Here, we aimed to determine: (1) ...

Abstract:
... Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is frequently planted as a monoculture, but it is also grown in mixed plantations with other native trees such as pedunculate oak (Quercus robur). 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:
... In the UK, Acute Oak Decline (AOD) has caused much concern, due to its distinctive symptoms and its potential to impact oak species that form the largest component of native broadleaf woodland. Decline complexes involve multiple biotic and abiotic factors, which combine to reduce host vigor. In order to investigate forest decline, it is necessary to take a systems approach by considering biotic ag ...

Abstract:
... Direct seeding is potentially a cost-effective method for creating woodland and is particularly suited to establishing mixtures of species. Seed predation can cause poor establishment, and information on granivore preference for seed of different species is essential to evaluate relative risk and the need for control measures. We investigated consistencies in the preference of small mammals for re ...

It can be identified by distinctive stem symptoms, dark liquid seeping out between the bark plates from areas of necrosis in the cambial tissue, which are found in conjunction with signs of the two spotted oak buprestid Agrilus biguttatus. Novel bacterial species hav ...

Abstract:
... In October 1987 a severe storm caused catastrophic damage to many conifer plantations across south-east England. During 2006 a survey was carried out to investigate the success of natural regeneration by trees and whether the new woodlands were typical of local native woodlands. All sites had regenerated successfully and comprised predominantly native broadleaved trees. Although stocking was good ...
