There is a slight chance of even stronger gusts of 80-90 mph in such exposed areas for a time. Please take care. and refer to our guidance on preparing for storms. We recommend woodland managers and owners read the Scottish Windblow Contingency Plan, while guidance is also available on managing storm damaged trees.

The Feasibility of Valuing Woodlands' Contribution to Regulating Water Quality and Quantity: Final Report

Last updated :28 Oct 2024

Topic: Using woodlands

Sub topic: Forest industry

This report by Adas-Eftec reviews a range of models and ecological, forestry and economic evidence on woodlands’ contribution to regulating water quality and quantity and proposes a number of options for conducting a valuation study on these benefits.

Summary

A valuation study would require the physical effects of woodland on the water environment to be quantified and subsequently linked to valuation data and methods. This report therefore evaluates models, methodologies and data sources that could quantify the physical effects and identifies a range of valuation methods for estimating an economic value for these effects.
