An ornithological evaluation of Tayside Region, Scotland, with special reference to the location of future commercial afforestation 1994

Abstract

Cultural landscapes of upland Tayside Region, Scotland, support a breeding bird assemblage of considerable nature conservation importance. Commercial large-scale afforestation of these birds' habitats is having a particularly damaging impact on a number of species.

This report provides a strategic evaluation of birds adversely affected by commercial afforestation, and also identifies important areas for open ground birds.
