EWCO - Nature Recovery - Priority Habitat Network

Spatial data supporting the England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) additional contribution targeting for Nature Recovery, where the layer indicates ‘Premium’, ‘Higher’ and ‘Lower’ priority areas for woodland network expansion. Data input sources: National Forest Inventory (NFI) 2012 Map plus additional woodland habitat network modelling provided by Forest Research. <o:p></o:p> Habitat Networks (England) - Ancient Semi Natural Woodland 2019 map by Natural England Attributes: ‘cat’ – ‘Premium’, ‘Higher’ and ‘Lower’ priority area for woodland network expansion ‘ewco_score’ – the number of points the additional contribution provides per hectare, if awarded> ‘ewco_val’ – £ value the additional contribution provides per hectare, if awarded Lineage: First published to support the woodland creation grant under Countryside Stewardship (CS), launched in 2015. The layers attributes were updated in 2021 to cater for the new England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) scheme. The layer was edited in 2024 to add the ‘Premium’ priority area, based on data from the Habitat Networks (England) - Ancient Semi Natural Woodland map and the Countryside Stewardship elements removed.本空间数据用于支撑面向自然恢复的英格兰林地创建补贴（England Woodland Creation Offer, EWCO）额外资助额度测算，其图层标注了林地网络扩张的“优先（Premium）”“较高（Higher）”“较低（Lower）”三类优先级区域。数据输入来源包括2012年国家森林清查（National Forest Inventory, NFI）地图，以及森林研究所（Forest Research）提供的额外林地生境网络模型；另包含英格兰自然署（Natural England）发布的《英格兰生境网络——2019年古老半天然林地》地图数据。数据集属性如下：‘cat’字段用于标识林地网络扩张的优先级类别，取值为“优先”“较高”“较低”；‘ewco_score’字段代表若获批补贴，每公顷可获得的额外资助积分；‘ewco_val’字段代表若获批补贴，每公顷可获得的额外资助金额（单位：英镑）。数据沿革如下：本数据集最初于2015年推出的《乡村管理（Countryside Stewardship, CS）》计划下发布，用于支撑林地创建补助金申请；2021年为适配新版英格兰林地创建补贴（EWCO）方案更新了图层属性；2024年基于《英格兰生境网络——古老半天然林地》地图数据新增了“优先”优先级区域，并移除了原乡村管理相关的内容。
