  • A set of data arising from a detailed ecological re-survey of the native Scots Pine woodland habitats within Scotland. In all, 27 woods from throughout Scotland were identified as the major remaining native pinewoods, and within each wood sixteen randomly selected 200m2 plots were surveyed between 2018 and 2022. Details about the trees, ground flora, soil, habitat types as well as general plot information were collected for each plot using standardized procedures and coding systems. The survey was a repeat of an identical survey carried out in 1971, and thus allows an assessment of change in the woodlands since that time. The survey was funded by a consortium led by the Woodland Trust, and carried out by staff employed by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

  • [This dataset is embargoed until June 30, 2024]. These data are a 2020-22 repeat of a survey undertaken in 1971, and again between 2000 and 2003, when 103 broadleaved woodlands were surveyed across Britain. Ecological information was recorded at the site level and in more detail from sixteen, 200 m-2 sample plots located at random within each site. Data were collected on plant species composition of the canopy and ground flora, soil pH and Soil Organic Matter, habitat management and a wide range of other plot and site-level descriptors. This edition of the survey, comprising a re-visit to 97 sites, was funded by a consortium led by the Woodland Trust, and carried out by professional ecologists managed by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. Users of the dataset should consult the supporting documentation for further information on field methods and analytical results.
