DOI

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.To establish:- (i) the pattern (spatial and environmental) of private sector afforestation (ii) the effects in terms of employment (iii) the effects in terms of land use (iv) possible differences between sub-sectors of the private sector

Main Topics: Variables Plantation size, composition, land type; previous land use, land uses displaced; employment levels; owner and manager type. The depositors emphasise that the dataset is unlikely to be 100% accurate and comprehensive. It is posible that some 'afforesters' have been omitted, and that the area of afforestation is less than 10ha in some cases

One-stage stratified or systematic random sample

by geographical area, date (which correlates with type of grant) and type of ownership
