Hello, there. In forest or woods, there can be transitional areas on which all trees have been cut years ago, and which are merely scrub, maintained or not, with cut-lines or not. These areas are morphologically scrubs, but are maintained to be brought back to a forest; besides, the scrub state lasts for years, justifying its mapping as such, so how to map these areas?
Awaiting your answers, Regards. asked 13 Mar '17, 09:53 Penegal |
I've always tagged those as landuse=forest+natural=scrub, but note the caveat below. While the landuse=forest vs natural=wood semantic debate is not fully settled, I've always gone with the "landuse=forest is for forestry-like activities and implies natural=wood/landcover=trees unless otherwise tagged" interpretation. I feel this interpretation has become largely dominant, but that may be my observation bias. answered 13 Mar '17, 12:34 Vincent de P... ♦ |
