Availability: Restricted
The data are withheld from general circulation and disclosure but access may be obtained on a case-by-case basis through negotiation

Description
The database contents 2 linked (by site or vegetation structure) parts, this part, part 2 contains survey data more

"The database contents 2 linked (by site or vegetation structure) parts, this part, part 2 contains: Survey-data of early woodland development patterns in 19 study sites (extension possible). Species, numbers, development stages, baseline vegetation/land use types, grazing management strategy, development time, grazing and damage patterns, vegetation and sapling height are recorded. Part 2 is extended via new site surveys and repeated measures. "
