Abstract

ABSTRACT Around 8% of the total land area in the UK is defined as urban, with around 83.4% of the total population living within these areas. In the UK, the management of woodlands and forests is governed by the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS), self-certified as the “ … reference standard for sustainable forest management in the UK”. However, the urban forest has no comparable national standard. With an increasing need to manage urban trees sustainably, a fit-for-purpose approach is required to promote sustainable, consistent and efficient urban tree population management. Generally, the approach to urban tree management is not cohesive and not related to any standard. Conversely, the principles of high forest silvicultural management are well publicised and adopted. Within forest management, an approach has been championed for its benefit to wildlife, commercial timber and ecosystem services; that of Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF). CCF is not a system, but instead, an approach used to attain set objectives (such as biodiversity and timber production). This research has shown a CCF approach can be directly applied to the urban forest. However, to successfully apply the principles, limitations must be overcome at national and local planning levels.

普通高林造林系统的原则能否应用于管理构成英国城市森林的树木?
英国约8%的土地面积被定义为城市,约83.4%的人口居住在这些地区。在英国,林地和森林的管理由英国林业标准(UKFS)管理,该标准自我认证为“英国可持续森林管理的参考标准”。然而,城市森林没有可比的国家标准。随着可持续地管理城市树木的需求日益增加,需要一种适合目的的方法来促进可持续、一致和有效的城市树木种群管理。一般来说,城市树木管理的方法没有凝聚力,没有任何标准。相反,高林造林管理的原则得到了很好的宣传和采用。在森林管理方面,倡导了一种有利于野生动物、商业木材和生态系统服务的方法;连续覆盖森林(CCF)。CCF不是一个系统,而是一种用于实现既定目标(如生物多样性和木材生产)的方法。该研究表明,CCF方法可以直接应用于城市森林。但是,为了成功地应用这些原则,必须克服国家和地方规划一级的限制。
