Question
g33
:
Dominant vegetation type
|
|
The dominant vegetation type separates three categories of these miscellaneous woodlands: <strong>trees under 5 m height</strong> (including young stages of forest re-growth or early colonisation by tree species, trees planted for early whole tree harvesting, such as Christmas trees, and coppice, where tree species are artificially maintained in the shrub phase); areas normally part of the forest area but very recently clear-felled and not yet re-stocked and with no succession to weedy vegetation or temporarily unstocked due to natural causes such as wind-throw, (path = <strong>no trees</strong>); or <strong>trees over 5 m height</strong>.

Question
g34
:
Heavily managed or planted?
|
|
Young plantations and woodlands maintained in the young stage through coppicing are separated (path = <strong>Yes</strong>) from stands of young trees arising from natural colonisation or forest regrowth.
|
Answers:
|
Yes

No

Question
g35
:
Woodland width
|
|
More or less continuous lines of trees and <strong>linear</strong> plantations comprising one to three distinct lines of trees, such as windbreaks and avenues, are separated from <strong>other</strong> small, intensively managed woods, small woods strongly influenced by anthropogenic activities and small plantations. Small woodlands are those up to about 0.5 ha in extent. Tree cover may often comprise completely or partially non-native species.

Question
g36
:
Dominant tree type
|
|
Small anthropogenic woods and small plantations (less than about 0.5 ha in extent) are characterised by the dominant tree types, which may be mixtures of species within the categories <strong>broadleaved deciduous; broadleaved evergreen; coniferous</strong>; and <strong>mixed broadleaved and coniferous</strong>. Small natural and semi-natural woodlands are characterised with their larger counterparts in G1 – G4. Note that broadleaved woodland is defined as wooded land on which more than 75% of the tree crown cover consists of broadleaved species and that coniferous woodland is defined as wooded land on which more than 75% of the tree crown cover consists of coniferous species (based on FAO definition). Mixed woodland is defined as wooded land on which neither coniferous, nor broadleaved species account for more than 75% of the crown cover.
