Natural England Long Term Monitoring Network - Soil Sampling Method Comparison-This project is to undertake scientific testing of a new (hand-held) soil coring tool against the existing soil coring approach (cores encased in plastic tubing) and the standard method of small pit excavation for Natural England's Long Term Monitoring Network. This project requires undertaking field sampling using the three methods across a range of soil types, and subsequent laboratory processing of samples to determine bulk density. The contractor will provide specified field observation...

Gathering evidence on Birds for the Species Evidence Base-The Species Evidence Base (SEB) will contain novel and useful information on species that can be queried and analysed. It will provide a command of the underlying species evidence, representing the first steps towards holistic species recovery within Natural England's Nature Recovery Network. It does so by centralising species information in one place in a novel and new way. This Species Evidence Base (SEB) will focus on important species listed in Environment Act targets, notably those ass...

Compilation and review of evidence leading to SANG and SAMM provision-This project is a review of evidence and local policy documents relating to the provision of SANG and SAMM This is a short project that is expected to be completed by the end of March 2023.

Rapid Evidence Review - Density of use of greenspaces and routes in and close to urban areas-Natural England is seeking to improve our understanding of people's use of greenspaces and routes within and close to urban areas, and this study seeks to understand how many people can use greenspaces and still get benefits. This project is a Rapid Evidence Review relating to people's use of greenspaces in and close to urban areas. (The review does not need to consider the density of people in green places further from urban areas but evidence relating to such places may be useful and...

Rapid Evidence Review - Provision and management of greenspaces and routes that generates additional use and enjoyment-Currently where Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) is identified as being necessary as part of a strategic solution local authorities are required to provide SANG land at a minimum of 8ha / 1000 population. Whilst in some local authority areas there is sufficient availability of undeveloped land to meet this standard, in other areas alternative measures may be required due to a lack of suitable land. This project is a Rapid Evidence Review relating to people's use of greenspaces...
