Biological diversity in forest ecosystems |

As in previous reports, it is the opinion that no areas in UK meet all the criteria for undisturbed by man.
The category "semi-natural" is mostly based on the UK category semi-natural in Pryor & Peterken 2001, extrapolated as in the "natural" category for 4.2.
The plantation area is calculated by subtraction of total semi-natural.
