Trees for Climate Change, Biodiversity and People

We have curated a collection of relevant reports and original research across AER and the British Ecological Society journals to supplement the key themes at the Trees for Climate Change, Biodiversity, and People symposium, organised by the British Ecological Society in collaboration with the Woodland Trust and the Positive Environmental Futures Signature Research Theme, University of Kent.

We are inviting proposal for an upcoming Special Feature examining the multiple and diverse ways trees could deliver on agendas for climate change, biodiversity and people. Find out more here.

Applied Ecology Resources (AER) is a globally accessible open resource for the management of biodiversity and the environment. We make sharing and discovering information easier for everyone in the ecological community – whether you work in research, policy or practice. All content on AER is freely accessible and you can discover more resources on our search platform.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence is an open access journal publishing articles with direct relevance for the management of biological resources and ecological systems.

People and Nature is a broad-scope open access journal publishing work from across research areas exploring relationships between humans and nature.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution promotes the development of new methods in ecology & evolution, and facilitates their dissemination and uptake by the research community.
