As climate change intensifies, the fate of many of the world’s forests is becoming a major concern. Meanwhile, the European Union (EU) member states have committed to the goal of becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, which will invo

Genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity play a role in determining the performance of a tree provenance at a planting site. This paper explores their relative importance in determining growth, phenology and tree form in a broad geographic sample

The ability of a population to genetically adapt to a changing environment is contingent not only on the level of existing genetic variation within that population, but also on the gene flow received from differently adapted populations. Effective po

Open Structured Woodland and the Ecological Interpretation of Scotland's Ancient Woodland Inventory

Autor: Joseph Hope, Richard Whittet, Christopher J. Ellis

Publikováno v: Scottish Geographical Journal. 131:67-77

Following intensive human land use over millennia, European forest ecosystems record among the largest values of deforestation globally. This puts a premium on European ancient woodland, which has existed in the landscape minimally over several centu

Critical tests for lichen indicators of woodland ecological continuity

Autor: Richard Whittet, Christopher J. Ellis

Publikováno v: Biological Conservation. 168:19-23

For lichen epiphytes the loss of trees from a site represents a complete break in the availability of their primary habitat. Epiphytic species are therefore expected to provide powerful indicators for the ecological continuity of woodlands. Suites of
