Landscape linear feature data 1998 [Countryside Survey]

This dataset consists of stock (length) data for landscape linear features across Great Britain in 1998. Data are presented as lengths of different feature categories (such as fences, walls and lines of trees), with associated species attributes, from 569 km squares, surveyed for the Countryside Survey long term monitoring project (note: not all surveyed squares contained linear features). The Countryside Survey is a unique study or 'audit' of the natural resources of the UK's countryside, carried out by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. The sample sites are chosen from a stratified random sample, based on a 15 by 15 km grid of GB. Surveys have been carried out in 1978, 1984, 1990, 1998 and 2007 with repeated visits to the majority of squares. The countryside is sampled and surveyed using rigorous scientific methods, allowing us to compare new results with those from previous surveys. In this way we can detect the gradual and subtle changes that occur in the UK's countryside over time. In addition to linear features, habitat areas, vegetation species plot, soil plot, freshwater habitat and satellite map data are also produced by Countryside Survey.

Report

Dataset Reference Date (): 2010-12-08

Statement: The data were recorded onto paper field sheets in the summers of 1998 and 1999 by professional surveyors using standard methodologies (refer to the online documentation). Data were recorded from 569 1km squares sited across Britain, selected by random stratified sample. The boundary lines were digitized in 1998-2000 by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.
