These are a series of data and mapping documents for baseline values of natural assets and eco-services provision across South Yorkshire.
The maps display South Yorkshire land cover habitats by area, the data from which can be used to establish baselines for our work. South Yorkshire priority habitats were used. Ancient woodland sites were mapped and assessed in terms of what they do and the role they play, e.g. ability of woodland to soak up PM10 etc. Please note that t/year as shown on the ecosystem services maps is tonnes per year.
