公元4、5世纪前,英国的主要树种以阔叶树为主,有橡树、桦木,苏格兰有一部分松树,森林面积占50%。以后由于人口增加,工业发展,工业化程度增高,森林减少了。17—18世纪由于战争,用木材作军船、军舰,18世纪后期用很多木材盖房,作建筑物,到19世纪末林地面积只占国土面积的5%。以后由于需要木材,大量植树,但因劳动价值高,种植的不多。第一次世界大战时,用木材很多,战后私人造了一些林,但林地面积仍只占5%。第二次世界大战也用了很多木材,森林面积仍不大。1950年以后,大量植树,主要造林树种有云杉、冷杉,其中占面积最多的是从美国西北部和加拿大西南部引进的北美云杉(Picea sitchensis)。目前森林覆盖率为8.8%。
Before the 4th and 4th centuries BC, the main tree species in the United Kingdom were mainly broadleaf trees, with oaks and birch trees, and some pine trees in Scotland with a forest area of 50%. Since then, as a result of population growth, industrial development and industrialization, forests have decreased. As a result of the war in the 17th and 18th centuries, wood was used as a warship and a warship. In the late 18th century, a lot of wood was used to build houses and buildings. By the end of the 19th century, the area of woodland only accounted for 5% of the land area. Since the need for timber, a large number of tree planting, but due to the high value of labor, planted less. During World War I, there was a lot of timber and some private forests were made after the war, but the area of woodland still occupied only 5%. World War II also used a lot of wood, the forest area is still not large. After 1950, a large number of tree planting, the main afforestation species of spruce, fir, which accounts for the largest area is the Northwest United States and Canada introduced the Northwest Picea sitchensis. At present, the forest coverage rate is 8.8%.
