Resilient woodlands to support biodiversity recovery

该项目将分析绘制英国林地特征和数千种英国物种(包括鸟类、昆虫、植物)分布的大量联合王国数据集，并辅之以代表不同创造和管理做法(如自然更新、补种)的重点地点的生物多样性调查，以：(1)审查物种、组合和相互作用网络如何受到林地范围和连通性的影响，以及不同类型林地和气候变化情景的测试结果；(2)调查不同管理和恢复年限的地点，以评估林地质量和物种相互作用网络之间的关系；(3)整合调查结果，以制定政策建议，以确保林地恢复支持自然恢复。

The project will analyse extensive UK data sets mapping woodland characteristics and distributions of 1000s of UK species (including birds, insects,plants), complemented by biodiversity surveys at focal sites representing different creation and management practices (e.g. natural regeneration, re-planting), to:(1) Examine how species, assemblages and interaction networks are affected by woodland extent and connectivity, and test outcomes of differentwoodland and climate change scenarios;(2) Survey sites that differ in management and age of restoration, to assess relationships between woodland quality and species interaction networks;(3) Integrate findings to develop policy recommendations to ensure woodland restoration supports nature recovery.
