We would have not been able to complete our dissertation without the help from our tutors Clara Oloriz, Daniel Kiss, Alfredo Ramirez, and Eduardo Rico. We deeply appreciate their guidance and expertise, which shaped our perception of the relationship between people and the natural landscape. We would like to also take this opportunity to thank AA Hooke Park staff, Zachary Mollica, Christopher Sadd and Jean-Nicolas Dackiw for guiding us in Hooke and providing us their knowledge and information about the forest. Also, we show great thanks to Elena Luciano Suastegui who helped us in soil research and inspired us to further scientific studies. We appreciate all the external jurors, fellow researchers at the Green New Deal, who helped us build our narrative throughout the duration of our project. Last but not the least, we express great gratitude towards our technical tutors, AALU classmates, friends and family for their kind support.

WHAT IS FOREST N?

The AA Landscape Urbanism programme set a 2019-2020 agenda in partnership with the Green New Deal to use the project as an experiment to secure a safe climate and fairer society. Under the topic of global warming, our project faces the possibility of future forestry transition. Forest could be considered in a multidimensional way with multiple meanings as the Forest N, including production, biodiversity, carbon sink, but all of them only emphasize the benefits of humans, while the concept of Wood Wide Web gives us a clue to understanding the forest from the natural dimension. We are aiming to break peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stereotype of looking at forest and giving back to the forest. Our project is to find a way of integrating this reciprocal understanding into current forestry policies and economic grants systems as humans play an essential role in forests for reciprocal accomplishment. By doing this, we would help to reshape the UK forestry and the conventional idea about the forest or nature in the ordinary.

ABSTRACT

We first learn how forests have been used and recognized, and how they are associated with the course of time and economic change, by examining the historical political changes in metaphors for forests. The most important among all of them is the idea of Wood Wide Web. Through the study of metaphors and policies, we are able to remap it to our times, generating new definitions of the forest, which helped us better understand and imagine the possibility of British forestry transition in the future. In the context of global warming, we are also simultaneously looking at how forests can be used as a way to slow global warming, and using AA Hooke Park campus as our experimental sites. We studied the carbon measurement techniques about canopy and soil. By calculating the annual carbon sequestration level of our site and studying the UK policy, we set a long term plan to optimize the forestry. By doing the scientific research, we compared the global forestry targets and negative effects about monoculture forest. But we think more about forests as a whole system from the concept of Wood Wide Web. In order to guide general foresters, we developed our manual book.In the book we systematically built our models and sorted the specific methods of planting trees with its required tools, trying to improve the health of forests. Applying our manual in Hooke Park can be used as a precedent. It is applied in 3 detailed compartments in the campus forest, which showed differences in various forest dimensions. It shows how the forest will change throughout years in the process of management operations, and how the underground network will help the trees get healthier. At the end of the project, we have compiled the predictable result of applying our management plan and grant assessment in the policies throughout the whole UK. We hope to see a healthier state of the forest and a change in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stereotypes of the forest, reframing the relationship between people and nature. We hope that this project will create a deeper connection between people and nature.

Chapter / oo INTRODUCTION OF FOREST N - BREAK STEREOTYPE & RECIPROCITY

Forest N | Reciprocating Nature

This project is part of a Green New Deal proposal to rewilding Britain and has a focus on recovering forest landscapes. The main aspect of this project is to transform the perception of forest as commodity, usually seen as factories to produce and extract wood, or a landscape that can offset carbon footprints through the creation of carbon credits. Even though some of these aspects can be seen as desirable (extracting carbon from air) they leave behind the fact that forest are more than trees. At the same time, forest are landscapes where humans extract material (wood, carbon credits) but are never a place to bring things back to them. The project proposes an alternative model of mutualism with humans (rather than business models or models for material extraction) and see how this can be applied to Hooke Park as our site.

This has been described by scholars as “a kind of cosmic resonance”. Humans were seen as embedded in a triad with heaven and earth. Following the example of the Tao, the Tao Te Ching suggests wu-wei, nonpurposive action, as the wisest approach humans can take.

A parallel metaphor viewed man as the STEWARD OF NATURE, with an implied duty of care. The Christian conception of nature, therefore, was based on a belief that man’s authority over the natural world had once been absolute, but this condition was lost after the Fall.

ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA 2100 BC

PERSONAL FATE

Logs will become the cadavers. The hero who dies within the city will project his own personal fate onto the forests. He wants the glory of his deed to spare him from such oblivion. A leader could derive considerable fame from a successful expedition through the forest.

THE EARTH IN ITS ENDURING TRANSCENDENCE

Forests represent the quintessence of what lies beyond the walls of the city, namely the earth in its enduring transcendence. Forests embody another, more ancient law than the law of civilization. Like forests, which cover the earth and endure through the millennia according to their own self-regenerating cycles. There is too often a deliberate rage and vengefulness at work in the assault on nature and its species, as if one would project onto the natural world the intolerable anxieties of finitude which hold humanity hostage to death.

BIRTH PLACE/ AGAINST CIVILISATION

Aboriginal men were born from the oaks.

OBSTACLES TO CONQUEST / A S Y LU M S O F C U LT U R A L INDEPENDENCE

Forests had once safeguarded the relative autonomy and diversity of the family and city states of antiquity, precisely because they of fered a margin of cultural privacy. The forests were obstacles to conquest, hegemony, homogenization. They were asylums of cultural independence.

SHELTER / ASYLUM

In the myth of Arcadia, Evander’s original homeland, and is made of Rome’s site an Arcadian forest whose woodlands offered cover and shelter to Saturn after Jove had replaced him as leader of the gods.

OBSTACLE TO VISIBILITY

The forests remained an obstacle to human knowledge and science.

ARTEMIS’S ROBE: DARK AND INACCESSIBLE REGIONS

This is how Artemis appears, or refuses to appear, in the mythologies: invisible, intangible, enigmatic, cruel, reigning over the nonhuman reaches of the wilderness. As virgin of the woodlands, she withdraws behind the forest’s shadows into her noumenal realm where human beings cannot, or must not, have access. Artemis’s robe is none other than the forest’s umbrae, its protective shadows.

CIVIC BOUNDARIES / PLACE OF NO ONE

Those who entered the civic boundaries took refuge there from the forests, which became a frontier or margin against which the civic, strictly institutional space was defined. Historically the natural boundaries of the Roman republica were drawn by the margins of the undomesticated forests

Forests continue to symbolize Germany’s heritage - the stronghold of its cultural origins, of its ancient bonds of community, and of its collective national possession.

THE ONLY GREAT POSSESSION

It is a physical representation of poverty and wealth. Human poverty senses this kinship and deduces its right to property from this feeling of kinship Fallen wood has as little organic connection with the growing tree. Nature itself presents as it were a model of the antithesis between poverty and wealth in the shape of the dry, snapped twigs and branches separated from organic life in contrast to the trees and stems which are firmly rooted and full of sap, organically assimilating air, light, water and soil to develop their own proper form and individual life.

THE LATEST WAY OF LOOKING AT FORESTS - CARBON SINK

Forest N | Reciprocating Nature

Since the Industrial Revolution, greenhouse gas concentrations have continued to rise, and global average temperatures have increased. There is increased concern about the impact of future climate change on humans and ecosystems. In the latest metaphor, forests are considered to be a carbon sink. By absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, this process can be used to mitigate climate change. This chapter lists methods for measuring the amount of carbon sequestered in forests, and the inventory method was applied in Hooke Park as our prototype. These measurements reflect how people see forests - as wood for production, or as a tool to mitigate climate change. These are used for the benefit of humans and ignore forest health and long-term development.

The irreversible global warming

Carbon emission and absorption

Global warming is the ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming. It is a major aspect of climate change which, in addition to rising global surface temperatures, glacial melting, also includes its effects, such as changes in precipitation. While there have been prehistoric periods of global warming, observed changes since the mid-20th century have been unprecedented in rate and scale.

Before the Industrial Era, circa 1750, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration was 280 ± 10 ppm for several thousand years. It has risen continuously since then, echoing the increasing pace of global agricultural and industrial development (Figure 2.3).

UK INFLUENCE

Figure 1.1 illustrates the observed temperature from 2010 to 2020. The primary driver for increased global temperatures in the industrial era is human activity, with natural forces adding variability. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that, "human influence on climate has been the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century". The largest human influence has been the emission of greenhouse gases, with over 90% of the impact from carbon dioxide and methane.

The recent and continuing increase of atmospheric CO2 content is caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions most importantly fossil fuel burning(Figure 2.4). Atmospheric CO2 is, however, increasing only at about half the rate of fossil fuel emissions; the rest of the CO2 emitted either dissolves in sea water and mixes into the deep ocean, or is taken up by terrestrial ecosystems. Uptake by terrestrial ecosystems is due to an excess of primary production (photosynthesis) over respiration and other oxidative processes (decomposition or combustion of organic material).

The carbon cycle in and out of forest Basically, the forest structure is formed from 3 layers, including canopy, understory, and soil microbiome. There are several main components of the forestry ’s carbon cycle: In the forest, the components are trees and other vegetation. Outside the forest, the components are the harvested wood products. The C stock in forestry at any moment is the sum of the quantities in these components.

UK INFLUENCE

Above shows the main organic C stock components and C fluxes between components in forestry. The green arrow indicates C flux into the forest; red arrows indicate fluxes out of the forest. On the right shows that the carbon stored in the harvesting wood will go back to the atmosphere by burning for energy, Biodeterioration, and decay. In the understory, a similar carbon exchange process happens. The understory typically consists of trees stunted through lack of light, other small trees with low light requirements. The carbon exchange happens through the process of photosynthesis plant respiration, and the diagrams show this process.

Measuring aboveground carbon storage Inventory methods quantify biomass accumulation within forests, and are characterized by their long history and adequate data coverage (particularly in developed nations). However, they have low time resolution (years) and variable standards of measurement. Remote sensing methods are most reliable if remote sensing information is jointly used with forest carbon inventories and ecosystem models. However, incomplete information limited by remote sensing techniques and uncertainties in the models require further development.

UK INFLUENCE

The eddy covariance method is advanced in its high accuracy and fine temporal resolution (hours), and is a good method for direct measurement of CO2 flux at the ecosystem scale. However, it is restricted in use by its systematic biases and limited number of observation sites.

Measures of carbon sequestration in forests, while based on scientific research, also reflect biases in how forests are viewed. The inventory method considers forests as valuable timber and takes into account the differences between tree species. This method is used to measure the increase in the economic value of forests. It ignores small trees and shrubs that have little economic value.

Soil carbon is an important component of the ecosystem. However, there are many difficulties in quantifying forest soil carbon pools and fluxes. Therefore, soil carbon stocks are often overlooked.Bacteria and fungi, as well as overall animal community composition, have a significant influence on soil carbon dynamics, which is a side confirmation of the forest as a whole and the existence of interspecies networks. However, this relationship was not reflected in the measurements.

The remote sensing method monitors forests at different temporal, spatial, and spectral resolutions. The remote sensing method, which looks at the forest as a whole, weakens the distinction between tree species but also takes into account the amount of carbon sequestered by small saplings and shrubs.

Dry combustion method measure the weight loss of the sample to different temperatures. First, all the weight loss at 100C is water and the weight loss around 450C is organic carbon. As for the second method, LIBS are more specific and they provide more detail on the structure of the organic matter.

The carbon and timber import

UK INFLUENCE

We consider carbon exchange into carbon absorption, and carbon emission, that is to say, the absorption and release of greenhouse gases. Forest N visualize the import route of sawn wood and the import and export of carbon and timber products to understand the amount of carbon released in the United Kingdom. The main use of wood in the UK is paper-making, and this process consumes a lot of energy and leads to produce carbon emissions, which means that a large proportion of wood imported into the UK is converted into carbon emissions. The graph marks the changes of carbon credit from 1900 to 2019. Countries participating in the “cap-and-trade” program are increasing, and the increase in the price of carbon credit also relates to the countries which gradually pay attention to the global environment and by taking part in the “cap-and-trade” program, each country limits their domestic carbon emissions.

We contacted a local teacher and obtained basic information about the Hooke Park, like spatial distribution of tree species and the year planted, which gave us a general idea of Hooke Park. Hooke Park forest is a 150 hectare ancient woodland set in the West Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty sitting high on the coastal hills looking out over the sea. From the entrance gate a long drive winds through the woodland to 3 hectare clearing within which the campus is based. The campus is divided into a working zone of workshops and a living zone divided by green fingers of woodland which pass through the clearing. In addition to the densely planted forest is a rich variety of woodland landscape, including recently felled clearings, hidden river valleys, an ancient willow coppice and a broadleaf groves of ash, hazel, alder and poplar. Having the basic data of Hooke Park, We went there in March to gather more information. For the field work, We measured the Diameter at breast height and tree height of each component.

Then we can start cauculation step by step. Step 1: Using Tariff number and tree basal area with Equation 5 (below) to estimate the mean merchantable tree volume. Step 2: Calculate the mean total stem volume by multiplying the mean merchantable tree volume by the appropriate value. Step 3: To find the total estimated stem volume in the stratum, multiply the unrounded estimated mean volume by the estimated total number of trees in the same stratum. Step 4: The total volume and quadratic mean diameter for each species in the stratum should be carried forward in order to estimate the biomass allocation for those trees.

Chapter / o3 WOOD WIDE WEB - COMMUNIACTION BETWEEN PLANTS

Forest N | Reciprocating Nature

But Is it all about carbon? What does carbon mean to the forest? Carbon is also a form of communication that builds a reciprocal relationship between plants. Carbon exchange is commonly known as the phase of breeding and fruit transition. Reciprocal connections also happen between neighboring plants; Www is the scientific way of reciprocity. This symbolic metaphor has existed for hundreds of years. Individual plants are connected to each other through underground mycorrhizal networks, a complex collaborative structure that has come to be known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wood Wide Web.â&#x20AC;? The relationships between these mycorrhizal fungi and the plants they connect to are now known to be ancient and predominantly interactive in which both organisms benefit from their association.

Through our understanding of the Wood Wide Web, we discover that trees are as social as humans. They cannot wholly survive on their own like humans in our society; People socialize in our community, while trees communicate with each other underground through Wood Wide Web. The idea is that trees are not in competition with each other in the forest; rather, they rely on each other all the time. Our next step is to find a way of integrating Wood Wide Web understanding into current forestry policies and grants as human plays an essential role in forests for the reciprocal accomplishment.

After the last ice age (about 12,000 years ago), the glaciers’ retreat allowed trees to cover 70-80% of the land. During this period, the forest took on its most pristine appearance, without any human intervention. When the melting waters flooded Doggerland, and the low-lying marshes became the English Channel, they cut off the British Isles and created a group of tree species now considered “native”.

During this period we can speculate that the trail of deforestation is consistent with early human migration as shown in MAP 4.2. At this stage, humans began to intervene in the forest, and the forest was defined by the indigenous people as a tool to help them settled down

In 1086 AD, the Domesday Book suggested there was 15% tree cover in England. Norman aristocracy used new land rights to close off lands to the public, the origin of the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, meaning exclusive hunting land for aristocratic use only.

UK INFLUENCE

This is the earliest period that British people began to define forest as entertainment tools (FIG 4.3). At that time, the forest was exclusively used for noble people, thus the forest became a medium to help define different classes, which led to significant class conflict. MAP 4.3 provides the Roman road which we can trace the timber transfer route in the 20th century, and the sites of noble forests present a relatively high density.

By 1900, forest cover had been depleted to only 5%. The use of timber from trenches and coal pit props in the First World War nearly depleted the domestic timber supply, leaving Northern Ireland with only 1% forest cover and England with 4%. After the First World War, the Forestry Commission was set up to prevent the future depletion of domestic timber supplies, particularly during the war. The Forestry Commission acquired 48,000 hectares of Crown Estate woodland. In the first ten years, it purchased 240,000 hectares, planted 56,000 hectares, and paid grants to support 22,000 hectares planted on private land.

New machinery and greater use of tax credits have led to massive and ecologically inappropriate tree planting. It eliminated tax loopholes and a dramatic drop in planting rates, and a shift by the Forestry Commission towards amenity woodlands.

UK INFLUENCE

The 1990s and 2000s saw a dramatic drop in planting rates, particularly in Scotland. Thirty years later, the supply of timber is outstripping demand, and there is a perceived shortage of planting. Subsequently, the UK has increased the planting of marketable broadleaf woodland, much of which now lacks management. At the same time, the UK Woodland Assurance Standard was introduced, providing wood product manufacturers with assurances about the sustainability of the wood they bought. In 2011, the coalition government launched an independent forestry panel and created a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;woodland cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the UK.

Woodland management plan (WMP) grant Policies can help to shape the woodland and change its relationship with human beings by giving subsidies. Until 2014, woodland management subsidies were allocated from the Environmental Stewardship, known as the Woodland Grant Scheme. Afterward, the forest grant was integrated into the Countryside Stewardship grants and divided into three projects.

UK INFLUENCE

The current scheme of the woodland management plan is used for creating a 10-year plan to meet the UK forestry standard. Applicants will not be scored, and if they qualify, they will be allocated funds based on the forest area. The current Woodland’s Condition assessment considered aspects including woodland damage, habitant types, regeneration, and woodland structure. However, none of these has anything to do with how much grant the forester will get.

Forest can be divided into 5 stages, from ground preparation to old forest. Here we identify the operational sign of each stage, and develop different scenarios of them, each scenario will have corresponding treatment actions. We can identify the different stages of the forest to determine how we want to proceed with the next management plan. Young forests will need to be thinned multiple times to reach a stable age class, and old forests at the same time need some external disturbance to reach an overall systemic dynamic balance. Forest throughout all the stages needs more care about the soil and microbiological part which have great impact on both growing trees and mature trees.

There are some general management actions, including thinning, pruning, and etc. Each of them related to forest values we mentioned above. Base on our WWW concept, we adjust the actions. The point of it is to choose the least impact tools and caring more about giving back to the nature, not to use large scale machines, and care more about seedlings and understory after harvest.

We regard some leisure and working activities as part of reciprocity and classify them in 7 categories: tourism, education, work, exercise, relaxing, timber production, and secondary production. We consider its current stage and possibility in Hooke Park, weather influence, and target population. Also, we provide timber usage based on its properties. For example, the forked trees could be used to build structure, burning biochips, handicraft-making, and camping. We provide timber usage based on its properties.

The most basic and commonly used short rotation model is mainly for wood production, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed for trees like beech and sweet chestnut. The key point of this model is to preserve the mother tree, to grow new seedlings started from the forest edge and let the fell branches enrich the soil .

The medium model is based on the short rotation one, but containing more caring for the soil. It has medium capacity for carbon sequestration. The key to this model is to be more biodiversity in tree species and tree age groups, and regularly check the soil nutrient condition avoiding soil compaction.

The last part of the manual book is the tools. We have analyzed five aspects at the levels of cost, efficiency, fit scale, ease of operation, and sequestration capacity. Large tools or mechanical equipment, while highly efficient, can cause erosion or soil compaction, so they need to be chosen carefully on a case-by-case basis. This catalogue can provide a reference for tool selection in various situations.

We created another catalogue of broadleaves and conifers to see how these trees as well as the forest would change due to the process of management operation. Beech from young one to old will have different shapes and structure after thinning, coppicing, raising, topping and reduction. The corsican pine part has a similar pruning process but behaves differently in the vertical.

Soil composition consists of loose gravel, stones and dirt, with the air component in the interstices also influencing the nutrient of the soil. Soils that are too wet or too compacted are not conducive to forest health and stability. In forest systems, changes within this part of the soil are more detailed. More changes arise from tool selection and microbial synergy. The proportion of soil components also affects the corresponding management activities.

For the soil, we do the insects control, loosen soil, apply organic matter and residues management to see the subtle changes in the soil.

The first thing that needs to be established is how we and the Hooke Park stuff understand or define the role of the forest, which leads to a variety of management modes. We will apply the manual to Hooke Park and be specific to small-scale forest plots. By analyzing site environmental factors and existing management models, and combining them with Wood Wide Web as core concepts, we are able to see Hooke Park taking on a whole new look.

Trees offer wood products and valuable landscape services. Both should be supported through markets and fiscal incentives. Most of the controversies in tree policy arise from the impressive range of goods and services that trees provide. With land in short supply, there are many stakeholders, including environmental NGOs, heritage campaigners, water companies, farmers, local communities and commercial foresters. These groups often have conflicting interests, despite a general consensus that trees are a net benefit in most settings.

UK INFLUENCE

These different definition of forest applies whether the afforestation is for commercial or environmental purposes. This creates potential markets and subsidies for a range of ‘tree services’, effectively balancing this column with the ‘tree products/goods’.

General Forestry Modes

FOREST METAPHOR CARBON

The management mode for timber production will pay more attention to the quality of wood and improve the frequency of thinning. The quality of soil is more important in this mode. This mode will neglect the protection of the natural environment, and the decrease of water and air quality will also lead to the decline of livestock, and the overall ecological environment and stable state are decreasing, but it has a high economic value. WOOD WIDE WEB AA Landscape Urbanism 2019-2020

AA Landscape Urbanism 2019-2020

POLICY STUDIES MANUAL BOOK

This is a management mode which is the closest to the forest state of the natural environment. This mode pays more attention to the restoration and improvement of the ecological environment. Increasing the richness of species can increase the amount of carbon sequestration in the soil and improve the visual appreciation. But because it is more ecologically sound, the model takes little account of the economic benefits and the amount of carbon sequestration in the timber.

HOOKE PARK UK INFLUENCE

Here we are talking about plantations with a single carbon sequester species. This mode focuses only on growing the best carbon sequester species at high efficiency. While ignoring the economic benefits of wood production and the protection of water or air quality. Moreover, the ecosystem of monoculture plantations is unstable and vulnerable to diseases and insect pests, leading to mass death.

As a robotic developer, Jean had more of a general understanding of Hooke Park's management model, more like a member of the team rather than a professional forestry practitioner. So his graph is more like our expected one, which is more balanced and comprehensive, but it also doesn't take into account the economic value of the forest.

AA Landscape Urbanism 2019-2020

POLICY STUDIES

As forester, Chris paid more attention to the management and production of timber. His management mode diagram was closer to the one of timber production. At the same time, he would pay attention to the carbon sequestration amount in the wood and the amount in the biomass.

UK INFLUENCE

Based on our observation, Hooke Park's existing management mode takes little account of external market economics, composting capacity, and little attention to the protection of the abiotic natural environment. They mainly considered wood production and carbon sequestration as their targets.

In order to develop a coherent policy approach, it helps to rationalise the value of trees, splitting them into two broad value categories of ‘goods’ and ‘services’. Our management modes have tried to achieve a balance between these competing demands through regulation.

Hooke Park as the campus of AA Design & Make, the management mode (FIG 6.4) will attach great importance to the teaching nature of the forest, which can be used as the foundation for later tourism use for the nearby residents. With a vision for the Hooke Park woodland, we first analyzed the existing buildings on the site to enhance the future woodland activity dimensions. We find that most of the current buildings and pieces of equipment are only used by Hooke Park faculties, staff, and AA students. Functionality ranging from equipment and wood storage, dormitories for AA students and staff, teaching and experimental spaces, and dining and recreational facilities.

These factors includes tree ages, root carbon, soil type, hydrology, current tree growth rate, tree density and rotation year to get the management plan. We assigned and weighted the different categories separately, with higher scores meaning the plot was more likely in need of being managed. The map provides 7 types of plots from urgently in need of management to non urgently plots and we divided our management plan into 4 phases. We prefer to choose those in the first two phase, which are urgently in need to be managed.

Clear-fell

Firstly, we know that forests are made up of many dimensions. From aerial photographs, known circulation maps and field surveys, we analysis the accessibility, forest density and visual aesthetics of each compartment. After that, we assigned a value analysis to each plot of land and ended up with a map of the functional dimensions. Although each plot had diversity and multiple possibilities, we selected three of them: tourism, timber production and pre-seedlings.We will propose different strategies and management options for these specific sites. Secondly, we are informed that original Hooke Park has three types of operation, including clear-fell, thinning and unmanaged. Our site should include all of these operations. In order to distinguish the functionality and purpose of these different operations, we are aware of the specific patterns of these operations and the corresponding practical application scenarios. Thirdly, we overlap 7 main influential factors,to get a Intervention priorities.

For relatively high growth rates and short rotations trees to increase timber production.

Finally, after all the analysis above, we can come to our result of 3 testing sites: 13E, 12C and 9F.

In previous forest management models, wood production and carbon sequestration were used as the main indicators. However, indicators of forest healthy, such as Wood Wide Web connections and age diversity, are equally important. In order to maintain a balance between giving and taking, a model was built to simulate the evolution of forest succession in response to human intervention and record the dynamics of the processes.

UK INFLUENCE

As shown in the diagram above, trees are cut down as adults, the above-ground portion (e.g., 80% biomass) is used as wood, and the roots (e.g., 20% biomass) remain in the ground. At the same time, the forester will plant small saplings in the same place. The flowchart illustrates the logic of the circular simulation. The trees are divided into three types, some are cut down, some are protected, and some do nothing. The final comparison of giving and taking decide which option to take.

The simulation is set for 100 years, of which every 20 years is a thinning rotation.There are four types of circles to present carbon sequestration. For the protected trees, we will remain it during thinning years as we do not want to break the main connections in Wood Wide Web, which is the connection between the trees in the diagram. There are two charts. One shows the effective of giving back by the number of Wood Wide Web connections and age diversity in the woodland, and the other is how much we taking from the forest by total carbon sequestration and wood production.

A mother tree is the tallest or has the widest girth of its kind in a specific area. She has the most links to the surrounding trees, making the Wood wide web more complex. She also sends nutrients to the surrounding saplings through the network, making them grow faster. In our simulation, we assume that protecting 10% of the mother tree from felling will add up to 125% of the other young treesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; growth rate, causing a significant increase in the number of connections.

Cultivating fungi in the forest will increase the biodiversity of the forest and make the Wood Wide Web connections stronger. In the simulation, we assume that the growth rate increases to 1.5 times and that the radius of connection of the www will be 125% as more fungi will connect plants further apart. Faster growth rates will sequester more carbon in the atmosphere while increasing the productivity of the woodland.

12C is supposed to have a clear-fell and replanting broadleaves. With simulation, we firstly tested the conventional way of clear-fell (FIG 6.39 - senario 1) , which is 1/3 side clear-fell. The result shows that it may lost underground connections and will stop providing nutrient to the young ones. For another scenario, we chose to test selective thinning and devide the process into three steps. Selective thinning (FIG 6.39 - senario 2) might prevent soil erosion and help replanted seedlings get more nutrient from mature trees, making the whole replanting process more gentle and gradual. By compareing the results of senario 1 and 2, we chose to do the selective thinning to minimize the harm.

13E is a separate long strip of land located in the northern part of the overall Hooke Park. This is an area of natural growth that has been virtually unmanaged for the past twenty years. And because of its proximity to major roads and driving routes, we have planned it for external visitation, with the hope of creating more open space and adding more soft features to bring people into the interior of the forest.

The particular changes in 13E are in forest dimensions since more activities could happen here. For phase 1, after judging from the Satellite image, we select a possible path and thinning alongside the way preparing for phase 2. We provide possible activities, including thinning and some other protective actions like soil erosion control, fertilizing, etc.

We envisioned Hooke Park as a whole rather than as a fragmented piece, and we projected its expected outcomes after applying our management plan. Over the years, Hooke Park will become more and more sustainable, with a network of mature trees which will gradually connect with each other. The following step will be to gradually influence the surrounding trees outside Hooke Park to form a larger underground network.

MANUAL BOOK

Birdport Footpath

HOOKE PARK

Once our management plan is in place, we will predict the impact on the neighbour cities and forests like Beaminster and Birdport forest. After Hooke Park itself establishes an underground connection between trees, starting from Hooke Park as the center, we will see veteran trees connecting and guiding people really get into the forest and experience the nature through transportation links such as highway and train tracks.

UK INFLUENCE

Once the overall park network is formed, it will form a more extensive network of transportation with other nearby forests and parks. Residents of nearby cities and villages can be attracted to the forest greenery and enjoy the nature.

Forest N | Reciprocating Nature

In Hook Park, we determined the woodlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characteristics and direction using the Forest Condition Assessment. The next step is to apply the modified grant assessment form to a larger scale, such as the UK, incentivizing people to undertake activities to give back to forests through a national grant policy. Form reciprocal networks between people and nature. People living in cities come to the countryside to experience life in the deep woods and get involved in forest management. These activities both enrich lives and contribute to the forest.

Reciprocal networks are the link between people and nature. We promote the idea that humans cannot simply take from nature without restraint, such as producing wood or playing in the forest. It is also important to help the forest in any way we can, for example, by planned felling to increase age diversity, protecting mother trees so that the forest can regenerate itself, and nurturing fungi that benefit the soil and roots.

UK INFLUENCE

Currently, forestry grants in the UK are not very effective in encouraging foresters and the general population to get involved in giving back to the forests. People are not yet aware of the enormous value that these activities create, so there is plenty of room for improvement.

A revised forestry grant would give grants based on the woodland’s current status and encourage managers to do more activities that are good for the forest. In this way, we would predict that not only would the links between forests be strengthened, but also between the UK’s major towns and forests, as more ordinary people join in the action of giving back to the woods. Mother trees will be exceptionally protected, creating a more complex WWW that supports small saplings’ growth and gives the forest the ability to regenerate itself. At the same time, the forest becomes richer in dimensions, not only for producing wood and mitigating climate change, but also as a place to learn about nature and exercise.
