Introduction
Currently I am working on applying the CARBINE region-level forest carbon accounting model to the UK greenhouse gas inventory.
This involves taking data from the National Forest Inventory and forestry statistics and using that to create a timeline of afforestation and replanting for the historical and future time period, then applying the CARBINE model for estimate carbon fluxes from forest growth, harvest, deadwood, litter, soil and harvested wood products.

Calibration of predictive growth models for Sitka spruce (SS), western hemlock (WH) and Douglas fir (DF) as function of light availability, as support for CCF planning, and analysis of their differences in terms of shade-tolerance behaviour.
We implemented a spatial application of a previously evaluated model of soil GHG emissions, ECOSSE, in the United Kingdom to examine the impacts to 2050 of land-use transitions from existing land use, rotational cropland, permanent grassland or woodland, to six bioenergy crops; three ‘first-generation’ energy crops: oilseed rape, wheat and sugar be...
A preliminary model simulating the growth of Sitka spruce seedlings as function of light availability, using the potential growth approach. The model was validated through an independent dataset.
Process and empirical-based models that describe lignocellulosic biomass yield of the perennial energy grass Miscanthus (MiscanFor©), short rotation coppice (SRC) trees and shrubs, poplar and willow (ForestGrowth-SRC) and a number of short rotation forest trees (ESC-CARBINE), were used to estimate the yield potential for current and future climates...
Woody biomass produced from short rotation coppice (SRC) poplar (Populus spp.) and willow (Salix spp.) is a bioenergy feedstock that can be grown widely across temperate landscapes and its use is likely to increase in future. Process-based models are therefore required to predict current and future yield potential that are spatially resolved and ca...
