Long Term Monitoring Network Soil Samples Analysis

The purpose of this requirement is to: - To provide an assessment of woodland habitat improvement resulting from management under WD2. - To evaluate the response of woodland species to large-scale habitat management implemented through WD2 in lowland and upland woodlands. - To explain how any observed effects on priority species populations, trends and communities relate to woodland characteristics, thus providing an evidence base to inform future woodland management activities for increasing biodiversity and contributing to climate change mitigation.
