T42 Coppice and early-stage plantation

new search

Forest treated as coppice without standards. Plantations with a dominant canopy of young trees that are still less than 5 m in height. Plantations of dwarf trees or shrubs cultivated for wood or small-tree production, with a regular whole-plant harvesting regime, including short-rotation Salix beds for biomass production, Christmas tree crops and tree nurseries.

[This habitat could not be formally defined in the expert system, because coppice management or early-stage plantation is impossible to identify from the vegetation-plot data.]
