- Abstract:
- ... 1. This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Orchis mascula (L.) L. (early purple orchid) relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the framework of the Biological Flora of the British Isles: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, ...

- Abstract:
- ... The composition of forest litter and understorey layer, and fungal biomass (in terms of ergosterol) were measured in eight subplots over a winter-spring period (January to April). The sampling site was positioned in a range of woodland habitats (variously dominated by beech, Fagus sylvatica; birch, Betula pendula x pubescens, and oak Quercus petraea) and a clear area covered with grass (dominated ...

- Abstract:
- ... The role of seed dispersal in maintaining genetic connectivity among forest fragments has largely been ignored because gene flow by pollen is expected to predominate. By using genealogical reconstruction, we investigated gene flow after establishment of seeds in a wind-pollinated, wind-dispersed tree. Our data show that seed dispersal is the main vector of gene flow among remnants and that long-di ...

- Abstract:
- ... Increasing forest cover has been the policy of various countries in recent decades. The Scottish government aims to increase national forest cover from 18% to 25% by 2050. Mid-altitude upland areas above farmland and below the natural tree line will be targeted for planting, which could impact black grouse Tetrao tetrix, a species of conservation concern which is most abundant in this zone. We use ...

- Abstract:
- ... Natural enemies are important contributors to the differences in Panolis flammea abundance observed in Scots pine and lodgepole pine plantations in Scotland. This study compared the diversity and abundance of harvestmen species in Scots pine sites and lodgepole pine sites within forests of Northern Scotland. While the native Scots pine sites have never been affected by high numbers of P. flammea, ...

- Abstract:
- ... Achievements in pinewood management over recent decades are reviewed, focusing particularly on attainment of UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets and the delivery of Scottish Forestry Strategy and Scottish Biodiversity Strategy objectives. Future challenges for the management of native pinewoods are outlined which include the need for effective landscape-scale planning, deer management, habitat res ...

- Abstract:
- ... Landscape adaptation to climate change requires policies that facilitate species dispersal, to counteract the effects of fragmentation and allow tracking of a species’ ‘climatic niche’. Expanding existing ecological networks is often proposed as a measure to maintain functional connectivity for forest species in multi-functional landscapes. In the next decades, however, such networks will be threa ...
