Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Compares the ground flora in lowland plantations with that in ancient semi-natural woodland and reports that the seedbank of plantations is insufficient to regenerate former diversity.

The introduction contains a useful history of the Forestry Commission’s changing attitudes to woodland biodiversity.
