SNH Ancient Woodland Inventory Scotland - released on SNH Natural Spaces 2010 01 08 Summary: In response to a 1980 select committee which recommended that ancient woods should be recognised and treated as a separate category, the NCCs compiled the Inventories of Ancient, Long-established and Semi-natural woodlands. A more sophisticated classification was developed for woodlands in Scotland due to the nature of the available historical sources. IMPORTANT. For Scottish woods, the category Ancient comprises woods recorded as being of semi-natural origin on EITHER the 1750 Roy maps OR the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey maps of 1860. This is due a) to the likelihood of the latter having been omitted from the Roy maps and b) to render the Scottish classification compatible with that for England and Wales. Lineage: These Inventories have been published for a number of years and have been widely used for woodland management, local planning and strategic policy development. In order that staff may use and interpret the Inventories correctly a short account of the original compilation work has been provided. If this document has not been included here please contact the Woodlands Group for a copy. The status and methodology used to produce the Version 2.0 inventories is described in an I & A note "Further Development of the Inventory of Ancient and Long Established Woodland Sites and the Semi-natural Woodland Inventory". Version 3.0 differs from Version 2.0 in two regards. Firstly, a new field 'Map_Origin' has been added to the dataset. This permits the identification of the historical map source of each wood, along with whether a wood was first recorded as being of semi-natural or plantation origin. The different categories are : ASNO1750 - Ancient Semi-Natural Origin on Roy maps. ASNO1860 - Ancient Semi-Natural Origin on 1st edition Ordnance Survey maps. LEPO1750 - Long Established Plantation Origin on Roy maps. LEPO1860 - Long Established Plantation Origin on 1st edition Ordnance Survey maps. Other Roy - Woods of any origin on Roy maps, absent from 1st edition Ordnance Survey maps but present today. Secondly, the Version 2.0 category of 'Recent' has been amended. This category used to contain two types of woods: those present on Roy maps, absent on the 1860 OS maps but present on the 1970 OS maps; together with an incomplete selection of woods for which no historical map documentation existed but were of high nature conservation value. These latter woods have been removed from Version 3.0 but may be identified by overlaying designated sites datasets with semi-natural woods on the Caledonian Partnership's Millennium Guide to Scotland's Forest Resource. The amended category in version 3.0 is now titled 'Other (on Roy maps)', and signifies historical woods that have survived a break in continuity of woodland cover. It should be noted that the records of long-established plantation origin (LEPO) woods - whether dating from 1750 or 1860 - are incomplete in the Borders area. While it is estimated that some 8,000 ha. of this woodland type exist in the Borders, for reasons of economy during the original paper compilation only 1,500 ha. of LEPOs were recorded. Derivation The inventories were derived from a desk-based exercise which examined woodlands from three sources: 1. The Military Survey of Scotland - 'Roy maps' - c. 1750 2. OS First Edition c. 1860 3. OS 1970 1:25,000 Forestry Commission Scotland National Forest Inventory 2014 Summary: The NFI definition of woodland is a minimum area of 0.5 hectares under stands of trees with, or with the potential to achieve, tree crown cover of more than 20% of the ground. Areas of young trees, which have the potential to achieve a canopy cover of more than 20%, will also be interpreted as woodland and mapped. The minimum width for woodland is 20 m, although where woodlands are connected by a narrow neck of woodland less than 20 m wide, the break may be disregarded if less than 20 m in extent. Intervening land classes such as Roads - all 'tarmac' roads should be excluded from the woodland area, but internal forest tracks, farmers tracks, rides etc. willbe included as part of the woodland if < 20m wide. Rivers - where the gap in woodland is 20m then rivers will be excluded from the woodland area. Power lines etc. - where the gap in woodland is 20m then power lines will be excluded from the woodland area. Railways - all normal gauge railways should be excluded from woodland Scrubby vegetation" is included within this survey where low woody growth seems to dominate a likely woodland site. The definition of an open area is any open area that is 20m wide and 0.5 ha in extent and is completely surrounded by woodland. The woodland boundaries have been interpreted from colour aerial orthophotographic imagery. For the base map, photographic images aimed to be no older than 3 years at the time of mapping (i.e. areas mapped in 2007 would be based on photographs that were ideally taken no earlier than 2004). As the map is be the basis for a longer rolling programme of sample field surveys it has been necessary to develop procedures to update the map to the date of the field survey, currently 2011, for the purpose of reporting on the current phase. The map is continually updated on an annual basis. These updates will are achieved by a combination of remote sensing and updated aerial imagery analysis for changes in the woodland structure and with reference to available new planting information from grant schemes and the FE sub-compartment database. Ordnance Survey MasterMap® (OSMM) features have been used as a reference for capturing the woodland boundaries. OSMM is the most up to date large-scale digital map of GB providing a seamless database for 1:1250, 1:2500 and 1:10000 survey data. All woodland (both urban and rural, regardless of ownership) which is 0.5ha or greater in extent, with the expection of Assumed woodland or Low density areas that can be 0.1ha or greater in extend, as been mapped Woodland that is less than 0.5ha in extent will not be described within the dataset but will be included in a separate sample survey of small woodland and tree features. Lineage: All woodland (both urban and rural, regardless of ownership) which is 0.5ha or greater in extent, with the expection of Assumed woodland or Low density areas that can be 0.1ha or greater in extend, as been mapped Woodland that is less than 0.5ha in extent will not be described within the dataset but will be included in a separate sample survey of small woodland and tree features. Attributes The structure of the schema has been changed since the 2011 woodland map release, to maintain compatibility with the new NFI update and reporting tool. Category: Woodland (W) The woodland polygons represent the extent of mapped woodland >= 0.5 ha; Non woodland (NW) The 'non-woodland' polygons represent open areas completely surrounded by woodland also >= 0.5 ha; Descriptions of Interpreted Forest Types (IFTs) Conifer (C) Coniferous woodland often occurs as large plantations with trees in regular rows and the stand edges may be regular and sharply defined. Some broadleaved trees may also be present but greater than 80% of the area will consist of conifers. Broadleaved (B) The canopy of broadleaved woodland is generally more uneven than that of coniferous woodland being made up of rounded crowns but with variations according to species, age, height, and season. Boundaries with adjacent internal polygons are generally less clearly defined than with conifers and naturally occurring stands may grade into adjacent ones with no sharp division. Some coniferous trees may be present but greater than 80% of the area will consist of broadleaved trees. Mixed (Mc) Predominantly conifer The interpretation of Mixed woodland can be very difficult as it exhibits intermediate characteristics between Conifer and Broadleaved woodland. There can be several types of mixed woodland. A plantation of alternate rows of conifer and broadleaves may produce a 'striped' appearance. You may see conifer and broadleaves planted in blocks, and there may be general intersperse woodland. The proportion of the Conifer will be more than 50% of the area and less than 80%. Mixed (Mb) Predominantly broadleaved The interpretation of Mixed woodland can be very difficult as it exhibits intermediate characteristics between Conifer and Broadleaved woodland. There can be several types of mixed woodland. A plantation of alternate rows of conifer and broadleaves may produce a 'striped' appearance. You may see conifer and broadleaves planted in blocks, and there may be general intersperse woodland. The proportion of the Broadleaves will be more than 50% of the area and less than 80%. Coppice (O) The most important characteristic of coppice areas on aerial photographs is its very even, smooth appearance. The coppice area may be made up of a patchwork of different ages (heights) but all show this very even character. Areas recently cut may appear to have a very clear floor with little felling debris. Coppice-with-Standards (P) Some areas of coppice also include larger broadleaved trees set in the coppice matrix. These broadleaved trees, often oak, are known as standards and show very clearly over the even coppice as large rounded crowns. The distribution of the standards may also be fairly scattered with approximately 25 per ha. Shrub Land (S) This category is intended to include areas that may possibly be woodland, where the growth is close to the ground and shows a rough character but no clear differentiation between Conifer and Broadleaved can yet be made. Areas being colonised by woody species may fall into this category. The cover will be at least 20%. Young Trees (N) Areas where planting is clearly visible but the trees cannot yet be allocated between Conifer and Broadleaved due to their immaturity. These areas can be on either land new to woodland or where a felled crop has been replaced. Felled Woodland (F) Areas of woodland where the trees have been harvested or felled. Stumps or felled trees may be visible and there may be long heaps of felling debris ('windrows'). Some standing trees within this limit may also be present but should be disregarded. This category should not be confused with Coppice. The areas concerned may also have been re-stocked but the new trees are not yet visible. Ground Prepared for New Planting (G) Land in this category is area recently converted from some other land use to woodland and will show plough furrows or mounding but the new planting (if present) cannot yet be discerned Cloud or Shadow Areas (CS) If cloud or shadow areas obscure woodland detail and it is difficult to allocate one of the above IFTs, then digitise a new boundary line feature around the area of uncertain forest type. Uncertain Areas (X) Where the interpreter is uncertain of the IFT/IOA to be used X will be designated. The rate of use of this category should decline over time as operators become more proficient and better at recognising IFT/IOAs. As part of the QA procedures X's will be checked and operators found using this code frequently will be subject to more intensive QA procedures and possibly more training. Low density (Ld) This category intended to include areas that have less than 20% canopy cover that might have potential to achieve woodland in the future. These areas will be monitored in future updates and either updated to reflect forest type or removed from the dataset. Assumed woodland (Aw) The supplied grant scheme and FC new planting polygons have been attributed as 'assumed woodland' as these areas have not been checked against the latest images and will be monitored in future updates and either updated to reflect forest type or removed from the dataset. Descriptions of Interpreted Open Areas (IOAs) Open water (W) Normally labelled within OSMM, areas of even colour Grass (Gs) A predominantly grassy area - may be agricultural or not. Agricultural land (Ag) May contain a cereal crop or pasture. Urban/Building (U) Buildings within woodland areas, may include gardens surrounding the building Forest road, track (Ro) Linear feature, often fairly straight with gentle bends or turning circles. River (Ri) Linear feature, depending on location can be fairly straight or meander through woodland. Powerline (L) Possible shadow evidence of poles, pylons or even the cable/lines. Quarry (Q) Show change in vegetation to geology, sand, slate, rock etc. Active quarries could have buildings, heavy plant tracks leading into the quarry. Bare (Ba) Bare ground/rock Windfarm (Wf) Possible shadow evidence of turbines, normally in groups Other vegetation (V) Not covered by the above, e.g. Gorse, Rhododendron, Bracken, Heather etc. Notes: Species such as Gorse and Rhododendron are not regarded as woodland and have therefore been excluded. Orchards are not regarded as woodland but have been mapped for carbon accounting purposes. Details can be provided on request. Interpreted Forest Types are only used to classify polygons in the NFI digital woodland map. IFTs are useful when using the map without the sample data, and for smaller geographic areas where the sample data would be inappropriate. However, for larger geographic areas data on forest types collected in the field is considered to be more accurate, and hence is used for reporting purposes. {9644E2CD-46BD-4D7C-B6CC-B79C203242A1} ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.0.1770 en AWI_SCOTLAND AWI_SCOTLAND vector digital data withheld Shapefile 121322.000000 410333.500000 535539.375000 973890.750000 -6.793175 -1.821908 58.653240 54.637700 en FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata FGDC-STD-001-1998 local time 20130729 Downloadable Data 30.987 30.987 Vector Simple FALSE 1412 TRUE FALSE Ordnance Survey Great Brit British National Grid coordinate pair meters 0.000000 0.000000 Ordnance Survey Great Brit Airy 1930 6377563.396000 299.324965 Explicit elevation coordinate included with horizontal coordinates 1.000000 CFJV_Lost_AWI_Verified_NFI_OS_BLOM_Imagery_A9 Feature Class 1412 SN_OTH OBJECTID OID 4 0 0 Internal feature number.
