🌳🌲If you have experience in growing mixed-species stands, please complete our survey to inform new mixed-species trials and improve our understanding of drought resilience. Survey link: ow.ly/LpP350WtPMk Project info: ow.ly/1Yth50WtPMn @edinburghuni.bsky.social @forest-protection.bsky.social

📢 PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT📢 🌳 Can planting mixed-species forests boost resilience to drought? 🔬 Our scientists are testing which species combinations thrive best under stress. 🔗 Read more: forestprotection.uk/project/cfp2... and take part by completing the survey below 👇

🌳🌲Today, we released an online survey seeking to collect the views and experiences of people managing mixed-species stands in the UK, as part of my new CFP project, EXPLORATION. Follow the link to find out more, and please share the survey link with your network. tinyurl.com/mixed-specie...

📢 PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 🌳 Are we planting the right trees for tomorrow’s climate? 🔬 Using genomics & tree rings, our scientists aim to predict which genotypes will thrive, and where, to build resilient forests in the UK. 🔗 Read more: www.forestprotection.uk/project/cfp2...

This week, Dr Gail Atkinson, Head of Climate Science spoke to the BBC’s Justin Rowlatt, about how our trees, woodlands and forests are being impacted by climate change Find out more: www.forestresearch.gov.uk/news/head-of... #ClimateChange #ForestResearch @forestrycommission.bsky.social

Can mixed-species forests boost drought resilience? Our EXPLORATION project, funded by DEFRA via the Centre for Forest Protection, is finding out. Learn more: www.forestprotection.uk/project/cfp2... #ForestResilience #DroughtAdaptation #MixedSpeciesForests #ForestResearch #EXPLORATIONproject

We are re recruiting for a Scientist at Climate Change Research Group www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cg...

Today we installed an IoT device at NRS which monitors tree stem's shrinkage and expansion in response to its environment.

Excited to lead EXPLORATION, a new 3-year project funded by the Centre for Forest Protection & DEFRA, with UoE and INRAE. We’ll study how mixed species planting can boost drought resilience in forests. More here: gov.uk & forestprotection.uk

Interested in finding out more about our NCEA Programme? Here is a link to an interview I gave recently explaining all about our range of NCEA projects... www.forestresearch.gov.uk/news/143349-...

Great job, great colleagues, great range of science with which to engage! Thoroughly recommended!

Fieldwork today. The Spruce trees are growing well, but there were some damaged needles, most likely caused by recent frost.

Cloudy day over Harwood Forest

Hello. I am a scientist at Forest Research. My area of research is the impact of drought on tree physiology and the monitoring of greenhouse gases.
