    Owners, local residents, government, and conservation organisations can express divergent preferences in the development and management of local woodlands. The perceptions of these four groups were examined, in the context ...
  • Application of the ecosystem functions framework to community woodlands 
    Agbenyega, Olivia (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Applied Sciences, 2007-02)
    The UK government provides financial incentives to land owners who promote community use of newly-planted woodlands. De Groot et al. (2002) have developed a framework for classifying ecosystem functions. This research ...
