- Broad Leaved Woodland (5+yrs)
As defined by DEFRA in their CS2000 report:
‘This form of woodland is dominated by trees that are more than 5m high when mature, which form a distinct, although sometimes open, canopy with a cover of greater than 20%. It includes stands of native broad-leaved trees (oak, ash and beech), non-native broad-leaved trees (sycamore and horse-chestnut), and yew trees, where the percentage cover of these trees in the stand exceeds 20% of the total cover of the trees present.’
Broad-leaved woodland is much more diverse (in terms of the species it plays host to) than coniferous woodland when mature.
