Changes in human values and wellbeing experienced from treescape expansion

这个博士旨在了解人类价值观和福祉如何受到大规模植树的影响。由于树木具有储存碳的能力，植树已成为基于自然的气候变化解决方案的一个组成部分。例如，英国政府承诺到2025年每年种植3万公顷。那么，一个关键问题是，这些树将种植在哪里？虽然我们对支持大规模植树的环境条件了解不少，但我们对当地环境的这种变化将如何影响人们知之甚少。事实上，很少有研究试图根据任何生活环境的变化来衡量人类价值观和福祉的变化。对这些影响的深入了解可以帮助指导有关种植地点的决策，以及与计划进行此类改变的当地社区的接触。

This PhD aims to understand how human values and wellbeing are affected by large scale tree planting. Due to trees' ability to store carbon, tree planting has become an integral part of nature-based solutions to climate change. For example, the UK government has pledged to plant 30,000 hectares every year by 2025. A key question, then, is where are these trees going to be planted? While we know quite a bit about the environmental conditions supporting large scale tree planting, we know much less about how people will be impacted by such changes to their local environments. In fact, little research has attempted to measure changes to human values and wellbeing based on changes in any living environments. Insights into such impacts can help guide decisions around planting locations as well as engagement with local communities where such changes are planned.
