Urban woodland network shape files

These data are the urban woodland habitat networks of eleven different cities: Nottingham, Plymouth, Stoke-on-Trent, Milton Keynes, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Northampton, Birkenhead, Derby, Luton and Kingston-Upon-Hull.

Three types of data are used to create the shape files:

1. The OS MasterMap Topography (EDINA Digimap Ordnance Survey Service, 2024) ‘Natural Environment’ layer.
2. This was overlain upon the latest version of the LandCover Map (EDINA Environment Digimap Service, 2022) for each urban area using QGIS (https://qgis.org/).
3. Urban area boundaries were determined and clipped using the experimental urban extent polygons for the UK (ONS, 2019).
