  Deforestation, forest degradation and fire in the tropics
University of Leeds School of Earth & Environment
  Dr D Spracklen
Application Deadline: 2 January 2019

  Constraining the carbon balance of intact tropical forest landscapes
University of Leeds School of Geography
  Dr T Baker, Dr D Galbraith, Prof O Phillips
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Intact tropical forests play a key role in determining the rate of climate change, as they can act as either a significant sink, or potentially source, of carbon.

  The role of forest demography in controlling the terrestrial carbon sink
University of Birmingham School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
  Dr T Pugh, Dr T Matthews
Applications accepted all year round
Forest demography, that is the establishment and mortality rates of trees, and the structure of that vegetation within forests, is a fundamental factor underlying the function of a forest and the services it provides.

  People, forest use and biodiversity on islands: models for global sustainability
University of Leeds School of Earth & Environment
  Dr M Dallimer
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Small island states comprise some of the world’s poorest countries and are often home to extraordinary levels of endemic biodiversity at substantial risk of extinction.

  Rewilding the great wood of Caledon: using remote sensing to understand natural forest regeneration in Scotland
University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences
  Dr C Ryan, Dr A Keane
Application Deadline: 10 January 2019
Scotland and the UK are deforested countries. In recent years, the entwined ideas of rewilding and natural forest regeneration have influenced land use, particularly in upland Scotland.

  Quantifying the role of forest disturbance regimes in macroecology and carbon cycling
University of Birmingham School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
  Dr T Pugh, Dr E Marais
Applications accepted all year round
big advances in assessing the frequency with which forests are impacted by large disturbances worldwide (Hansen et al., 2014), but in many ecosystems small-medium-sized disturbances may be much more important (Espirito-Santo et al., 2014).

  Hedges and edges: landscape effects on forest biodiversity and ecosystem function.
University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: School of Biology
  Prof W E Kunin, Dr G Ziv
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Forests represent the native climax vegetation of most of Britain and Europe, and are important both for the distinctive set of species they protect and the diverse range of important ecosystem services they provide.
