Update – 30/06/13 The latest version of the NFI - dated 31 March 2012 - was used as the woodland baseline. The data is built from the administrative vector data inputs described in the abstract and the Forestry Commissions National Forest Inventory (NFI) vector dataset. All vector inputs are put through a rasterisation process to produce rasters with a resolution of 25 metres. All administrative raster inputs are then combined to create a single 'Managed Woodland' input raster with a 25 resolution. This combined input raster is then used to reclassify the NFI 25m raster into values representing 'Actively Managed' and 'Unmanaged'. Finally the reclassified NFI raster is converted to TIFF format to produce the dataset this metadata is associated with.
