Data used in the tool to determine where a survey is required
Peatland
Non-peatland - this layer is a combined view of the original Non-soil and Non-peatland classes from the source dataset
Uncertain peat depth - a processed version of the uncertain peat depth class of the Muirburn Peatland Map is used to determine survey points. Areas that do not need to be surveyed are automatically removed:
Water bodies - lochs, lochans and reservoirs from the UK Lakes database (data.catchmentbasedapproach.org)
- Scheduled Monuments (Historic Environment Scotland)
Scottish Liverwort Heath (NatureScot HabMoS)
Woodlands (Habitat and Land Cover Map of Scotland, EUNIS codes F9 and G, NatureScot)
