Abstract

SCOTLAND- LCS88 Woodland Polygon >2ha Data updated by Woodland Surveys for the National Inventory of Woodland and Trees to include Forestry Commission (FC) new planting, New Woodland Grant Schemes, woodland in urban and woodland beneath cloud/shadow, at 31st March 2002. (Woodland areas are considered to have greater than 50% cover by tree crowns) Feature Attributes; Featcode Interpreted forest type (IFT) Code e.g. 76 IFT Interpreted forest type (IFT) e.g. Broadleaved Ref_date Reference date ENGLAND- Interpreted Forest Type Woodland Polygon >2ha Data updated by Woodland Surveys for the National Inventory of Woodland and Trees to include Forestry Commission (FC) new planting and New Woodland Grant Schemes, as at 31st March 2002. Woodland consists of areas of tree cover with a crown density of, or likely to achieve, at least 20%, a minimum width of 50 metres and a minimum area of 2ha. Woodland also includes areas that may temporarily be without tree cover following forest operations such as felling. Within woodlands, internal polygons may be identified with a minimum area of 1ha.

Lineage

SCOTLAND- The Land Cover Of Scotland 1988 (LCS88) based on 1:25000 aerial photography (flown 1987-89) and OS mapping captured by MLURI for Scottish Office. Woodland Grant Schemes 1988-1995 - digitised from paper maps held by FC Scotland. 1995-2002 - WGS Digital data supplied by FC Scotland. FC New Planting 1988-1995 - digitised from FC paper maps 1995-2002 - Digital data supplied by FC. Cloud & Urban Woodland - determined from NIWT survey of LCS88 data. Miscellaneous adjustments to original LCS88 as detected by Survey Foresters. ENGLAND- Based on interpretation of 1:25000 (some fill in 1:10000) aerial photography (flown 1991-2000) and plotted against OS 1:25000 mapping for the Forestry Commission. Miscellaneous adjustments to original aerial photography interpretation (API) as detected by Survey Foresters Woodland Grant Schemes approx. 1992-1999 - digitised from paper maps held by FC England 1995-2002 - WGS Digital data supplied by FC England. (Date varies per 100k tile) FC New Planting 1992-1999 - digitised from FC paper maps. 1995-2002 - Digital data supplied by FC. (Date varies per 100k tile) Additional API update for part North England (flown 1999-2000) WALES- Based on interpretation of 1:25000 (some fill in 1:10000) aerial photography (flown 1991-1999) and plotted against OS 1:25000 mapping for the Forestry Commission.
