Abstract

The term 'native' is widely used to refer to a small number of British tree species and naturally regenerating woodland. This paper proposes that the concept is rooted in an out-dated understanding of vegetation dynamics. Consequently, its definition is arbitrary and ecologically flawed, and should be replaced by terms that make clear the different but important aspects of biogeographical origin, local distinctiveness and conservation value.
