Nutrient Cycling Between Litters and Soil after Fire in Native Woodland and Pinus radiata Plantations
… fire. These reserves included Eucalyptus woodlands (‘native’) and Pinus radiata plantations (‘pine’); sampling in all of these reserves initially occurred four months after the fire with further samples collected as described in Chapters 2, 3, and 6. To address the knowledge gaps, a series …

Woodland history and management in the Oxfordshire Chilterns: implications for the future
During the 20th century, woodland fragmentation and changes in composition have had an impact on the woodland ecology of lowland England. Government policy which initially focussed on softwood timber production, now aims to protect, enhance, restore and expand native deciduous woodland. These …

Seeing the Woods for the Trees: A palaeoecological investigation of past woodlands to inform present and future woodland conservation management strategies in northern Scotland
This study explored the natural woodland development in northern Scotland over the course of the Holocene in order to inform whether such woodlands can be reinstated on present and future upland areas across northern Scotland under the care of Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS). Sediment sequences …

Changes in soil properties under experimental tree plots on the Isle of Rum
The ecological importance of native woodland in the Scottish Highlands and Islands is widely acknowledged and many calls for its expansion have been made. Much research into the effects of such an expansion on the above-ground ecosystem has been undertaken, but little is known about the impact it …

Changes in soil invertebrate decomposer communities during regeneration of Scots Pine within the Abernethy Forest Reserve, Scotland
Plans currently exist to extend the range of native woodland within the Scottish Highlands. The effects of such an expansion on birds, mammals and above ground invertebrates have been previously been investigated, but little consideration has been given to soil invertebrates. This research looks at …

The dynamics of litterfall in eucalypt woodland surrounding pine plantations
… beyond the confines of plantations, displacing native species and becoming the dominant species in a number of vegetation types. The negative ecological impacts associated with pine plantations now extend well beyond plantation boundaries. While a number of studies have examined the invasion of …

Avian Occurrence in Woodlands and Grasslands on Public Areas Throughout Eastern South Dakota
… public lands throughout eastern South Dakota in woodland and grassland habitats of different patch sizes and landscape matrices in various physiographic regions. Nongame birds were surveyed in 524 (99 native and 425 planted) woodland patches on 307 public areas in eastern South Dakota using belt …

Optimising oak woodland establishment into UK upland pastures in the context of climate change; and the role of oak woodland in soil hydrological recovery for natural flood management
… ‘Atlantic’ oak (Quercus robur, Quercus petraea) woodland establishment on the recovery of soils for natural flood management (NFM). The soil moisture, livestock grazing and dispersal constraints for potential oak woodland expansion in upland pastures are assessed. The study is located within …
