Habitat, vegetation, tree and soil data from Native Pinewoods in Scotland, 2018-2022

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.

本数据集源于对苏格兰本土苏格兰松林生境的详细生态复测。总计识别出苏格兰全境的27处林地为主要的原生松树林，其中每处林地内随机选取了16个200平方米的样地，在2018年至2022年期间进行了调查。采用标准化程序和编码系统，对每块样地的树木、地表植被、土壤、生境类型以及一般样地信息进行了收集。此次调查是对1971年进行的一次相同调查的复测，从而允许评估自那时以来林地的变化情况。该调查由由森林信托公司领导的财团资助，并由英国生态与水文中心雇佣的员工执行。
