Re-distribution of major tree species in British forests should begin soon

Posted by Landscape Juice on August 7, 2014 at 9:42am

Scientists at the University of Twente and at Forest Research, the research agency of the British Forestry Commission, used the UK Climate Projections 2009 data in models to show reduction in forest production by up to 42% by the 2080s due to climate change.

The researchers studied three major tree species: spruce, pine, and oak, which together make up 59% of the British public forest area.

Thanks to this new information, the forestry industry can anticipate by re-distributing tree species when restocking existing woodland or planting new woodland.
