  • How to recognise a healthy forest: Perspectives from private forest managers in Britain

    Open AccessSeumas Bates, Gillian Petrokofsky et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2023References: 3

    The managers of private forests have critical roles in responding to forest health challenges. Basic knowledge of how they interpret and understand the health of their trees is, however, very sparse. Via an online survey of private forest managers in Britain, we reveal the basic characteristics of this group's understandings of tree and forest health both in general and, more specifically, in relation to the health (and ill health) of oak species…

  • Temperate Regenerative Agriculture practices increase soil carbon but not crop yield—a meta-analysis

    Open AccessMatthew W Jordon, Kathy J Willis et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Regenerative Agriculture (RA) claims to build soil organic carbon (SOC) and increase crop yields through simultaneous adoption of a suite of management practices which restore soil health. However, this claim is largely unevidenced as few studies of fully integrated regenerative systems are currently available. As a first step to addressing this knowledge gap, we here examine three practices now being promoted as part of RA: reducing tillage inte…

  • Anticipated impacts of achieving SDG targets on forests - a review

    Open AccessJamie Carr, Jamie A Carr et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2021

    Sustainable development requires knowledge of trade-offs and synergies between environmental and non-environmental goals and targets. Understanding the ways in which positive progress in matters of development not directly concerned with the environment can affect the natural environment, whether for better or for worse, can allow policymakers and development agencies to avoid the negative impacts of their actions, while capitalising on mutually …

  • Navigating the science-policy interface: Forest researcher perspectives

    Open AccessMaria Ojanen, Maria Brockhaus et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2021Cited by: 9References: 15

    There is growing interest – and need – among researchers and research organizations to contribute societally relevant work as well as to demonstrate the policy impact of their research. Diverse science-policy interfaces (SPIs) aim for scientifically informed policymaking by connecting scientists with policymakers. Effective SPIs need to be grounded in credibility, relevance and legitimacy; at the same time, however, they become part of the comple…

  • Shrub growth and expansion in the Arctic tundra: An assessment of controlling factors using an evidence-based approach

    Open AccessAndrew Martin, Elizabeth S Jeffers et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Woody shrubs have increased in biomass and expanded into new areas throughout the Pan-Arctic tundra biome in recent decades, which has been linked to a biome-wide observed increase in productivity. Experimental, observational, and socio-ecological research suggests that air temperature—and to a lesser degree precipitation—trends have been the predominant drivers of this change. However, a progressive decoupling of these drivers from Arctic vegeta…

  • Trees for life: The ecosystem service contribution of trees to food production and livelihoods in the tropics

    Open AccessJames Reed, Josh van Vianen et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2017Cited by: 16References: 11

    Despite expanding interest in ecosystem service research over the past three decades, in-depth understanding of the contribution of forests and trees to food production and livelihoods remains limited. This review synthesizes the current evidence base examining the contribution of forest and trees to agricultural production and livelihoods in the tropics, where production often occurs within complex land use mosaics that are increasingly subjecte…
