Estimating deer abundance in woodlands: the combination plot technique | |||
| Bulletin 128 | |||
| Graeme Swanson, Helen Armstrong, Douglas Campbell | 2008 | ||
| This Bulletin describes a technique for measuring deer abundance in woodlands. The technique is a variation of the faecal accumulation rate method and was developed and refined using data from more than ten years of monitoring and research by Strath Caulaidh Ltd. In justifying their choice of each element of the technique, the authors also provide one of the most comprehensive overviews of dung counting methods available. This Bulletin will be of use to both deer managers and deer researchers as well as being of interest to those considering using a dung counting method to monitor the density of other herbivore species. | |||

Choice of Sitka spruce seed origins for use in British forests | |||
| Bulletin 127 | |||
| C.J.A. Samuel | 2007 | ||
| Sitka spruce is one of the most important and widely planted conifer species in Great Britain today. It plays a key role in the production of timber and is also important for other multipurpose forestry uses. Due to the extensive latitudinal distribution of its natural range along the Pacific Northwest coastline, it was necessary to establish seed origin studies to identify the most well-adapted sources for planting in Great Britain. This Bulletin summarises the results emanating from over 70 years of research. The growth and production data have been used to produce a series of suitability maps which can assist forest managers in their decisions on the choice of seed origins for planting. The Bulletin is recommended reading for forest managers, advisors and researchers alike – as well readers interested in the development and use of species from the Pacific Northwest used for forestry in Great Britain. | |||

Phytophthora disease of alder in Europe | |||
| Bulletin 126 | |||
| Cees Van Dijk | 2003 | ||
| Alders play a vitally important role in Europe. Their diversity of characters not only enables them to establish as pioneers but in many cases also allows them to play a significant part in climax forests and make a major contribution to the ecology and stability of river banks. All four European alder species are important in the establishment of woodland on difficult sites. European alders are largely free from major pest and disease problems so the discovery of a previously unknown disease, caused by a new Phytophthora fungus, led to major Concerted Action within Europe. The Bulletin sets out to: - determine if the spread of the disease within Europe can be limited. - define the nature of the pathogen. - make recommendations on disease management and control. - identify future research requirements. Although aimed primarily at forest pathologists and managers, it is hoped that these issues will prove to be of interest to a wider audience, coupled with the fact that work on alder Phytophthora disease has also thrown up important information about the generation of new pathogens through unusual hybridisation events and other evolutionary processes. | |||

Climate change: impacts on UK forests | |||
| Bulletin 125 | |||
| Mark Broadmeadow | 2002 | ||
| Human-induced climate change has become increasingly important in our everyday lives and, inevitably, will continue to do so.This Bulletin describes current thinking on the most likely effects of climate change on UK forests and woodlands. Predicted changes in the main environmental drivers - temperature, water availability, wind and rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels - are discussed, together with their potential impacts on forest growth and the incidence of pests and diseases. The Bulletin also explores the implications of environmental change for semi-natural woodland ecosystems and for species choice in managed forests. The Bulletin is recommended reading for forest managers and advisers, students and all those with an interest in the consequences of global change to our forests. | |||

An Ecological Site Classification for forestry in Great Britain | |||
| Bulletin 124 | |||
| Duncan Ray | 2001 | ||
| The site classification described in this Bulletin provides a sound ecological basis for the sustainable management of forests for timber production, wildlife conservation and other benefits. Applicable to all kinds of woodlands, from plantations of a single species through the range to semi-natural woodlands of many species, it incorporates the existing classification of soil types used as the basis of silviculture for many years. The methodology is coded into the Ecological Site Classification decision support system which is a computer-based model designed to match the key site factors and the ecological requirements of different tree species and woodland communities anywhere in Britain. | |||

Analysis of the changes in forest condition in Britain 1989–1992 | |||
| Bulletin 116 | |||
| Peter Freer-Smith | 1995 | ||
| Computerised forest condition records have been combined with meteorological and pollution data so that the use of statistical modelling provided a valuable opportunity for investigating medium-term changes in forest condition. Analysis of forest condition is complicated by the large number of environmental factors influencing it, so a new statistical approach had to be used, separating changes that could be attributed to pollution from those due to other environmental factors. Results and analyses are presented in detail. | |||

Forest fertilisation in Britain | |||
| Bulletin 095 | |||
| C M A Taylor | 1993 | ||
| In Britain the use of fertilisers has greatly increased the productivity of forests growing on nutrient-poor soils. From the early pioneering work of Stirling-Maxwell to the present day, the Forestry Commission has continually tested rates and types of fertiliser and methods of application. A pattern has gradually emerged from these empirical experiments indicating the fertiliser requirements of the main tree species planted today in Britain. This Bulletin attempts to condense this research into practical guidance for the forest manager. | |||

Timber Measurement | |||
| Field Guide/Book | |||
| Ewan D Mackie, Robert W Matthews | 2008 | ||
| Timber measurement was first published in 1983 as Booklet 49. Its punchy, practical style proved popular with practitioners trying to work out how to take basic measurements on trees and timber and apply standard forest mensuration procedures in the field. This revised edition has been produced primarily to achieve consistency with the second edition of Forest Mensuration: a handbook for practitioners. The new edition includes a number of significant changes, including a revised section on weight measurement. The section on abbreviated tariffing has been amended for consistency with Forest Mensuration: a handbook for practitioners. The opportunity has also been taken to make small refinements to the information in all sections to improve clarity and, in a departure from the original format, a number of decision trees have been included to help guide users through the various methods and procedures. | |||
