Scottish Lowland Forest are a habitat found exclusively in Lowland Scotland, naturally consisting of primarily Ash, Oak, Hazel, and Scots Pine trees.[1] Modern conifer plantations, which only harbor a small amount of the wildlife of the native forests, and are often replacing the original native forests, making them generally negative to Scotland's lowland environment.[2]
History
[edit]Around 5,000 years ago, Scotland's Lowlands were mostly covered in woodland, but due to overgrazing and timber demand over the past few thousand years, only are 6% is currently covered in native forest.[3][4]
