Extent and tree species composition from a Scottish deciduous woodland survey, 1976-1979
A survey of the extent and species composition of the deciduous woodlands of Scotland (including those with some admixture of conifers) was undertaken between 1976 and 1979, by the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council and the Nature Conservancy Council. A census of deciduous woodlands in Scotland was made (as marked on British Ordnance Survey (OS) maps, 7th Series 1:63,360), between 1976 and 1979. A desk-based map search was undertaken in the first instance, followed by field ground-truthing. Full details about this dataset can be found at

- Statement
- The data were originally collected by members of staff at the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, first as a desk-based exercise, and then during a field survey. A data rescue exercise was undertaken to re-digitise the data from the raw data sheets between 2019 and 2023. Quality checks were undertaken both at the time of the field collection, and later following data entry. Further detail is available in the supporting documentation.
