Climate change: impacts on UK forests |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. |191 x 254 mm |
