isn't woodland less dense then a forest? I think a true forest needs to have some extent in order to be a forest (e.g. for habitat reasons, the ecosystem forest needs some space or will collapse/become something more like a park), while a wood might also be smaller and "woodland" is a different type again, a patchwork of shrubs, trees and grass/heath/rock (etc., according to climate and region). The idea that a forest differs from woodland by the amount of management is a concept I have only seen in osm so far, it developed after both tags had already been in use, out of the wish to make some sense from the crowd-grown chaos. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
