Project Details
Description
This project will explore the relationship between carbon storage, biodiversity conservation and flood mitigation in upland habitats to detect synergies and trade-offs and identify land management practices that optimise the benefits to be gained. It will therefore generate evidence to inform land-use management practices in the Scottish uplands that contribute to tackling the twin challenges of biodiversity loss and the climate emergency.
