Great Britain, National Inventory of woodland and trees (1995-99) Analysis of Management and Biodiversity Data

This publication covers the management and biodiversity data collected during the first National Inventory of Woodland and Trees (NIWT1) that were not published with the main statistics on woodland area. Many of these data were collected for the first time during this National Inventory project.
The new types of data reflect the rapid expansion in the information needs of modern multiobjective forestry policy. For example the data includes aspects of ecology, biodiversity and thinning history, which contribute to the understanding of silvicultural potential as well as future harvests from the woodlands, not solely as timber.
