Explore new research on urban tree access and help shape future 3-30-300 tree‑planting maps for Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and York.

Darvill et al. share their experience investigating soil organic carbon stocks in a new native woodland in the Yorkshire Dales, UK, highlighting the importance of careful woodland design. Targeting…

Careful woodland design can avoid planting on high-carbon soils. In the Yorkshire Dales, tree planting targeted lower SOC areas, showing new guidelines and standards help protect soil carbon in uplan....

Deforestation is leading to temperature increases of up to 5°C in some tropical regions, according to data revealed in a new interactive map created by researchers at the University of Leeds. The onli...

The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises have driven global, national and regional targets to restore landscapes and create woodlands. In England, Defra’s Environmental Improvement Plan commits ...

Abstract. Woodlands sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which could help mitigate climate change. As part of efforts to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050, the UK's Cli...

In Brazil’s southern Amazonian region, where the notorious “arc of deforestation” has been expanding since the 1970s, forest loss is reshaping the region’s atmospheric water cycle. As the Amazon Rainf...

The extension will offer greater protection to the rare species found in the Dales upland landscape.

Forest loss in tropical regions is causing temperatures to rise, with serious health impacts for indigenous communities

The authors assess the impacts of tropical deforestation and its subsequent local warming on human heat-related mortality. They estimate that deforestation-related warming (+0.27 °C) is associated wit...

Localised rises in temperature caused by land clearance cause 28,330 heat-related deaths a year, researchers find

This In Brief explores experiences of woodland volunteers in Great Britain, showing how people might be supported to volunteer.
