Long‐Term Effects of Woodland Creation on Soil Carbon Stocks and Aggregate Distribution in Central Scotland
1 Introduction Deforestation and forest degradation are pressing environmental issues that contribute significantly to climate change, accounting for approximately 12% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions (van der Werf et al. 2009). While the net loss of forests worldwide has decreased since 1990 (due to reduced deforestation, increased afforestation, and natural forest expansion), 4.7 million hectares of forest were still lost annually between 2010 and 2020 (FAO 2020).

Genetic Consequences of Tree Planting Versus Natural Colonisation: Implications for Afforestation Programmes in the United Kingdom
1 Introduction Afforestation projects increasingly consider genetic diversity as integral to delivering resilient future tree populations (Aavik et al. 2012; Espeland et al. 2017; Jalonen et al. 2018; Mijangos et al. 2015; Shaw et al. 2025; Thomas et al. 2014). Consequently, the effects of alternative active and passive afforestation practices on population and landscape genetic diversity are the subject of growing attention (Jordan et al. 2019; Mijangos et al. 2015; Wei et al. 2023).
Combining occupancy and dispersal models to predict the conservation benefits of land-use change - Landscape Ecology
Abstract Economic incentives for habitat creation in productive agricultural land are an important tool for halting biodiversity loss. Given inevitable funding constraints, assessing the cost-effectiveness of potential habitat creation strategies should be a priority. We make model predictions of changes in the populations of ten woodland-affiliated bird species over time across a set of contrasting woodland creation scenarios in a 25 × 25-km square of primarily arable land in England.
Local Genetic Adaptations Among Remnant Populations of British Common Juniper, Juniperus communis, Indicated by a Common Garden Trial
1 Introduction The capacity of species to adapt to changing conditions is underpinned by genetic variation and the extent to which it is heritable across generations (Boyd et al. 2022; Geng et al. 2016). Within a species, genetic diversity is partitioned among populations according to the extent of gene flow, migration, and selection operating within and among those populations.
Molecular convergence analyses identify candidate genes for low susceptibility to the ash dieback pathogen
Abstract The detection of molecular convergence can be an effective approach for uncovering loci underlying adaptive traits that have evolved independently between lineages. Within the genus Fraxinus (ash trees) low susceptibility to the fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, the causative agent of the ash dieback disease (ADB) epidemic, is observed in three independent lineages of known or plausible natural hosts.
Genomic exploration of Thuja plicata indicates no loss of diversity from adults to offspring in UK Woodlands - Tree Genetics & Genomes
Abstract Thuja plicata is a conifer tree that is valued for its cultural, ecological and wood quality features in its natural range in western North America and is used in Europe as an exotic timber species. It is increasingly used in mixed species forests in the UK that are managed using natural regeneration, raising questions about genetic diversity of both the adult trees and offspring of the species in these stands.
