📢Call for papers for a special issue of Forest Ecology and Management based around the themes of the 10th Wind and Trees Conference. Also open to scientists who have not presented at the conference! 🗓️Submission deadline: 29 February 2024 ⏩sciencedirect.com/journal/forest…

This month we've been exploring theme of #forests and how they have been affected by #climatechange You can read this thread to learn about how Met Office climate projections have helped Forest Research 👇 (1/4)

Leaky dams and timber bunds are designed to slow peak flow during extreme rainfall events in the Allt Glas near Aberfoyle: forestresearch.gov.uk/climate-change…

Congratulations on a fabulous paper! 👏👏👏Wonderful to see the work of NetZeroPlus team members from Forest Research Climate Change and University of Aberdeen with colleagues from University of York help improve our understanding of forest carbon

We’re hiring! Join our friendly team at Alice Holt Research Station as Scientist - Climate Change. This varied role involves working at our eddy covariance flux tower site. You’ll be hands-on measuring greenhouse gas fluxes, tree growth and more! bit.ly/3TOAgJf

Thank you to everyone who attended the IUFRO ForestGALES/fgr workshop this week and shared their knowledge and expertise on #windrisk in a changing climate. An inspiring three days with delegates from the UK, Europe and beyond.

“ForestGALES is a decision support tool that allows foresters to look at a range of scenarios, to help them make important decisions that could impact on the timber yield and the delivery of other ecosystem services of their forests" Tommaso Locatelli

Here's the first of our new animations that give a flavour of key topics from the #climatechange factsheet series, available on the Forest Research Climate Change Hub:

Will the impact of damaging forest insects increase with #ClimateChange? 🦗🍂 Download our bite-sized climate change factsheets that explore this, and other topics, on our Climate Change Hub ➡ ow.ly/kNNZ50SK65t #ForestResearch

Did you know you can now filter our 12 #adaptation case studies on the #ClimateChangeHub by climate change risk or by management objective? ➡️forestresearch.gov.uk/climate-change…

Warmer temperatures enable some insects to produce more generations each year and can facilitate the establishment of non-native species through trade and imports. Find out how implementing biosecurity measures can help increase woodland resilience: forestresearch.gov.uk/climate-change…

Do you have a biosecurity action plan in place to protect your woodland from the spread of tree pests and pathogens and increase resilience? Biosecurity guidance, created in collaboration with the Forestry Commission, is now available on our Climate Change Hub. 🔗

Would you like to help us understand the impact of the Forest Research #ClimateChangeHub and inform our future plans? If so, our social scientists would love you to respond to our survey and attend an online focus group next week. Find out more: forestresearch.gov.uk/news/social-sc…

Climate projections show an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme events in the UK, such as storms, flooding & droughts. We discuss the risk of drought to our woodlands and how future drought impacts can be reduced through adaptive management: forestresearch.gov.uk/climate-change…

🌳 Landowners, woodland managers, and forestry advisors - we need your input to shape the future of our online Climate Change Hub. This impact assessment survey only takes 8-10 minutes to complete and is open until 31 January 2025: ow.ly/JIM250UrH3V #ClimateChangeHub

❔ We are looking to understand the Climate Change Hub’s impact to date to help ensure the development of new resources continues to meet the needs of woodland mangers and advisors. 🌲📑 The Climate Change Hub centralises information and practical guidance about protecting our

It's your final opportunity to participate in our short survey about the #ClimateChangeHub, which closes 31 Jan! Your views are important as we continue to develop climate change guidance and resources. Access the survey here: defragroup.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_db…

Wind risk experts Bruce Nicoll and Tommaso Locatelli discuss threats to UK forests and how the #ForestGALES decision support tool can help managers assess vulnerability to storm damage⬇️
