Analysis of the ecological principles underpinning forest landscape restoration: a case study of wood cricket (Nemobius sylvestris) on the Isle of Wight (UK). Current woodland restoration programs are increasingly focussing on the creation of habitat networks in order to increase woodland cover and co...
It also avoids deep peat soils, where woodland creation damages the habitat and releases carbon from the soil. Within the areas identified, we compared soil types to assess the climate risks of woodland creation. Higher-risk soils, rich in carbon, are shown in red. Although new woodlands ...
successful. Many of the existing areas and landscape features will be maintained and when possible expanded. Much of the core design was based on local anecdotal knowledge. This was then expanded in a manner to enable a huge range of additional plants and habitat types. These we will watch ...
