An accompanying User Guide is available to support the use of these datasets, and a full list of source datasets and data limitations can be found in the project technical report. This dataset shows the constraints affecting the suitability of land for rapid-rotation woodland planting for biomass and timber production. The constraints map indicates the number of factors that may limit the establishment of productive woodland within a given area. The constraints considered include biophysical, practical, urban, conservation, cultural, economic and legislative factors. Areas with fewer constraints may offer greater potential for rapid-rotation woodland planting and associated biomass and timber production benefits.
