Woodland 2
Woodland 2 : A generic term for any area of land which is predominantly characterised by trees, whether in large tracts or smaller units. Woodland can be categorized according to the types of species it contains, for instance: (1) containing predominantly coniferous tree species. (2) Deciduous woodland - containing predominantly deciduous tree species. (3) Mixed woodland - Woodland containing a mixture of coniferous and deciduous tree species. Woodland can also be categorized according to the degree to which humans manage the area, which has an influence on the type of fire behaviour that may be observed: (1) Planted woodland - An area of managed woodland (often artificially established) where trees are grown for sale as timber and/or for the commercial production of other forest products. Planted woodland is often characterised by a single species and continuity in both the horizontal and vertical fuel arrangements. (2) Natural woodland - Trees that have germinated and grown in their natural state without the influence of human actions. Natural woodland is likely to contain multiple species of trees which leads to less continuity of fuels than is found in planted woodland
