After centuries of landscape change, particularly deforestation caused by humans, it is easy to forget how well trees can thrive there.

Key Points: 
  • After centuries of landscape change, particularly deforestation caused by humans, it is easy to forget how well trees can thrive there.
  • Since at least 3,000 years ago, trees and shrubs have been harvested for building materials, firewood and charcoal.
  • Woody plants, especially willows, are particularly appetising for these animals in the uplands where nutritious food can be harder to find.

A perilous decline

    • The iconic Scots pine is a feature of remnant treelines, particularly in the Cairngorms.
    • These refuges also include birch, rowan and juniper, as well as arctic-alpine willows which are rare and endangered or vulnerable to extinction.

Reaching new heights

    • Some observations were at least 200m above previous known altitudes.
    • Our discoveries are attributed primarily to increased biological recording, which is valuable for expanding knowledge of the environmental tolerances of plants.

Benefits for a whole ecosystem

    • Once a large enough seed source exists, the trees will also emerge on their own via natural regeneration.
    • Montane willow scrub now flourishes on the Ben Lawers range in the southern Highlands, while Caledonian pinewoods are reappearing on higher ground in the Cairngorms.
    • These benefits are called “nature-based solutions” because they are considered vitally important for reducing threats from escalating climate change, including warming temperatures, extreme weather and soil erosion.

Nature recovery at scale

    • Land managers, policymakers and funding bodies must move forward from focusing on small areas of mountain woodland held behind fences.
    • Those estates already taking such an approach are showing significant capacity for regeneration and nature recovery.
    • Improving the health of all these habitats will allow our environment to nurture a high diversity of life and many associated benefits to people amidst the nature and climate emergency.
