{ "currentVersion": 10.51, "serviceDescription": "An understanding of the potential of different areas within a landscape to support different woodland types is crucial to planning the restoration and expansion of native woodland. The Native Woodland Model has been developed as a strategic tool to aid those involved in such projects, whether on currently unwooded land or in non-native forest plantations. It is suitable for use at scales above 1:50,000.\n\nThe methodology relies on the interpretation of integrated soils and land cover data in relation to the growth requirements of different woodland types. Combinations of these attributes are assessed and an optimal native woodland type is assigned to each combination. This is a very pragmatic model and uses major soil subgroup and geology (effectively soil series in a Scottish context), rather than specific attributes and thresholds. This is then qualified by land cover which has been used to assess how the soil may or may not have been modified by human intervention. The approach might best be described as \u2018map unit interpretation\u2019, qualified by knowledge of current land cover (from LCS88, although LCM2000 is equally valid and possibly more so because of its currency).\n\nReferences\nTowers, W., Hall J., Hester, A.
