The Eurasian Woodcock has cryptic camouflage to suit its woodland habitat, with intricately patterned reddish-brown upperparts and buff underparts.

The most important threat to the population of the Eurasian Woodcock in the breeding range is the increased fragmentation of its woodland habitat.

Eurasian Woodcock nest on the ground in low cover in woodland or tall heather.

Though it is a predator which specialises in catching woodland birds, the Eurasian Sparrowhawk can be found in any habitat and often hunts garden birds in towns and cities.

Eurasian Sparrowhawks breed in suitable woodland of any type, with the nest, measuring up to 60 cm ( 2. 0 ft ) across, built using twigs in a tree.

It has also been blamed for decreases in passerine populations ; scientific research has found no link between increased numbers of Eurasian Sparrowhawks and declines in some farmland and woodland birds after World War II.

Eurasian Sparrowhawks prefer to hunt woodland edges, but migrant birds can be seen in any habitat.

The Eurasian Sparrowhawk is a major predator of smaller woodland birds, though only 10 % of its hunting attacks are successful.

The Eurasian Sparrowhawk breeds in well-grown, extensive areas of woodland, often coniferous or mixed, preferring forest with a structure neither too dense nor too open, to allow a choice of flight paths.

Throughout the Goldcrest's range, the main predator of small woodland birds is the Eurasian Sparrowhawk, which has a diet consisting of up to 98 % of birds.

Throughout the Firecrest's range, the main predator of small woodland birds is the Eurasian Sparrowhawk, which takes avian prey as up to 98 % of its diet.

The heathland and woodland on Kinver Edge are inhabited by wildlife, including Adder and Common Lizard present on the heaths, and Common Buzzard, Eurasian Jay, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Badger, Red Fox, and many other bird species present in the woods.

The role played by the Noisy Miner in the steep decline of many woodland birds, its impact on endangered species with similar foraging requirements, and the level of leaf damage leading to die-back that accompanies the exclusion of insectivorous birds from remnant woodlands, means that any strategy to restore avian diversity will need to take account of the management of Noisy Miner populations.

Crops and fallow land account for 3 per cent of the land area, grasses and rough grazing 73 per cent, other agricultural land 1 per cent, forest and woodland 13 per cent, and urban development 10 per cent.

The southern zone, often referred to as the Sudanian zone, receives between, with woodland savanna and deciduous forests for vegetation.

The cane toad inhabits open grassland and woodland, and has displayed a " distinct preference " for areas that have been modified by humans, such as gardens and drainage ditches.

As of 1993, 12 % of New Caledonian land is used for permanent pasture, with 39 % occupied by forests and woodland.

Prairies and steppes are types of plains, and the archetype for a plain is often thought of as a grassland, but plains in their natural state may also be covered in shrublands, woodland and forest, or vegetation may be absent in the case of sandy or stony plains in hot deserts.

The woodland mix varies according to geography and climate so for example the Eastern Canadian forests ecoregion of the higher elevations of the Laurentian Mountains and the northern Appalachian Mountains in Canada is dominated by balsam fir Abies balsamea, while further north the Eastern Canadian Shield taiga of northern Quebec and Labrador is notably black spruce Picea mariana and tamarack larch Larix laricina.

New France was defended by about 3, 000 troupes de la marine, companies of colonial regulars ( some of whom had significant woodland combat experience ), and also made calls for militia support when needed.

Techniques for capturing birds are varied and include the use of bird liming for perching birds, mist nets for woodland birds, cannon netting for open area flocking birds, the bal-chatri trap for raptors, decoys and funnel traps for water birds.

The town was visited in 1802 by Admiral Horatio Nelson, who knew the importance of the area's woodland in providing timber for the British Navy and approved a Naval Temple built in his honour on the nearby Kymin Hill.

After stating the assessment of the manor, the record sets forth the amount of arable land, and the number of plough teams ( each reckoned at eight oxen ) available for working it, with the additional number ( if any ) that might be employed ; then the river-meadows, woodland, pasture, fisheries ( i. e. fishing weirs ), water-mills, salt-pans ( if by the sea ) and other subsidiary sources of revenue ; the peasants are enumerated in their several classes ; and finally the annual value of the whole, past and present, is roughly estimated.

The virus is not commonly found in cows ; the reservoir hosts for the virus are woodland rodents, particularly voles.

The name Prenner is traced back to the German word for somebody who clears woodland.

One third of the site has been developed from 26 million cubic metres of colliery spoil which have been landscaped to create a large complex of herb-rich grassland, wetland and woodland.

The third hypothesis is dubbed the " woodland hypothesis " and was proposed by the American paleontologist Gregory J. Retallack in 2011.

It is supported by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs ( DEFRA ), with the aim of converting one third of the land within the boundaries of the National Forest ( 135 km², 33, 000 acres ) to woodland, by encouraging landowners to alter their land use.
