Broadleaved, Mixed & Yew Woodland
The kind of broadleaved, mixed and yew woodland found in any one place is influenced by the geology on which it grows. Ancient woodland is an example of particularly biodiversity-rich broadleaved woodland habitat, defined as land that has had continuous woodland cover since at least 1600.
In Kent, there are 45,217 hectares of broadleaved, mixed and yew woodland (KHS2003) - this is approximately the same size as the European country of Andorra.
