RDC Forest Plans

This dataset identifies Forest Plans approved during Rural Development Contracts –Rural Priorities 2007-2013. Forest Plans aim to deliver long-term environmental benefits through sustainable forest management and consists of a strategic plan describing the major forest operations over a 20 year period. Support was given to help prepare a Forest Plan through the SRDP's Woodland Improvement Grant (WIG) for long-term forest planning. An approved Forest Plan will give a 10 year approval for felling, thinning and will provide the means of accessing grants for restructuring felling and regeneration and other grant support. This dataset stores information on the Forest Plan boundary, the 1st and 2nd clearfell phases (1-5 years and 6-10 years) and areas managed under Low Impact Silvicultural Systems (LISS). Basic attribute information is captured during the digitising process. This is subsequently joined to more comprehensive information which is entered in an Excel spreadsheet by Scottish Forestry Conservancy staff. For more detailed information please see the metadata record on Scotland's SpatialData.gov.scot Metadata Portal.本数据集收录了2007-2013年农村发展合同——农村优先事项框架下获批的森林规划（Forest Plan）。森林规划旨在通过可持续森林管理实现长期环境效益，其作为一份战略计划，用以阐述未来20年内的主要森林经营活动。相关方通过SRDP下设的林地改良补助金（Woodland Improvement Grant, WIG）为长期森林规划的编制提供支持，助力森林规划筹备工作的完成。获批的森林规划可获得为期10年的采伐与疏伐许可，同时可为结构性采伐、更新造林及其他补助金支持项目的申领提供渠道。本数据集存储了森林规划边界、第一及第二皆伐阶段（分别对应1-5年与6-10年时段）以及采用低影响营林系统（Low Impact Silvicultural Systems, LISS）进行经营的区域相关信息。基础属性信息将在数字化处理过程中完成采集，后续将与苏格兰林业保护协会（Scottish Forestry Conservancy）工作人员录入Excel电子表格的更完整信息进行关联。如需获取更详细的信息，请参阅苏格兰空间数据元数据门户网站（Scotland's SpatialData.gov.scot Metadata Portal）上的元数据记录。
