Woodland Carbon Code Projects

This dataset gives the spatial extent of the Woodland Carbon Code projects, along with their current status, species type, and country. All projects have to register, and are publicly available on the UK Woodland Carbon Registry, managed by Markit (https://ihsmarkit.com/products/environmental-registry.html). Once registered, they are validated at the outset and then verified at regular intervals throughout the project to check the amount of carbon sequestered, and that the project is sustainably managed. Woodland Carbon Code projects are expected to be managed in line with their agreed management plan (to ensure the predicted amount of carbon sequestration is realised), and a landowner has the responsibility to ensure future landowners are aware of the commitment of a particular land area to the Woodland Carbon Code, should an area of woodland be sold. This dataset gives the spatial extent of the Woodland Carbon Code projects, along with their current status, species type, and country. The majority of projects also receive a woodland creation grant, but some Woodland Carbon Code projects also include non-grant aided areas, or are not grant aided at all. Woodland Carbon Code statistics are produced quarterly on the last day of March, June, September and December and available fromhttps://www.woodlandcarboncode.org.uk/statistics.本数据集提供了林地碳准则（Woodland Carbon Code）项目的空间范围，同时涵盖其当前状态、物种类型及所属国家信息。所有项目均需完成注册，并可在由Markit管理的英国林地碳注册平台（UK Woodland Carbon Registry）上公开查询，该平台的官方网址为https://ihsmarkit.com/products/environmental-registry.html。项目注册之初需通过初始验证，后续亦会定期开展核查，以确认项目的固碳总量及可持续管理落实情况。林地碳准则项目需严格遵循预先约定的管理方案实施运营，以确保实现预期固碳量；若林地地块发生转让，土地所有者有责任确保后续受让方知晓该地块受林地碳准则约束的相关承诺。本数据集再次提供了林地碳准则项目的空间范围，以及其当前状态、物种类型和所属国家信息。多数项目可申领林地营造补贴，但部分林地碳准则项目亦包含非补贴资助区域，或完全未获得任何补贴。林地碳准则相关统计数据按季度于每年3月、6月、9月及12月的最后一日生成发布，相关数据可通过https://www.woodlandcarboncode.org.uk/statistics获取。
