- Trees Species Selection Criteria
- </a></h2><!-- -->
-
- This knowledge base helps you decide what types of tree to plant on a piece
- of land (in the U.K.). It assumes you will be planting a mixture of tree
- species, rather than a single species. It won't suggest actual species;
- rather, it advises you what to take into account when you make up your mix.

- Context
- </a></h3><!-- -->
-
- This KB was built assuming U.K. conditions, requirements and tree species,
- at a time when the U.K. government had instituted a series of 'community
- forests' to try to encourage tree planting. Britain's tree cover had been
- below 5% and must be increased. But lots of would-be tree planters would
- not know what to take into account in planting trees.

- <h3><a name="">
- The Questions You will be Asked
- </a></h3><!-- -->
-
- You will be asked about 20 questions about the site and about your
- intentions for it. Most are of a certainty type (a scale 0..10) in which
- the meaning of the numbers is indicated by words. Most are asked singly,
- but there are a couple of groups.
- <p>
- A few of the questions are oddly worded; please be patient.

- account, the more asterisks, the more important the factor is.

- at the given level of importance.
