Hello, there.

If a part of a forest has been razed and is now a scrub area, should I let this natural=scrub area in the forest multipolygon? I thought so, as the scrub area is still managed as a section of the whole forest, but another user updated it to exclude the scrub areas from the forest multipolygon, so I would like to know which version was correct.

Awaiting your answers,


Is the area
A) used for forestRY - an area that uses trees to produce something?
B) or just an area with trees?

If A then it is correct to have the area tagged landuse=forest. The addition of landcover=scrub, once the 'scrub ' grows into trees then landcover=trees can be done. If B then it should be tagged landcover=scrub as the tress are no longer there.

For me the landuse=forest (where correct) is enough, I would not tag the cycle of the harvesting, planting, growth of the trees. But some want that detail. There are enough blank areas on the map that these time dependant details lack any real interest to me.

Note: renders may not recognise landcover ... so you may have to add 'natural=scrub' etc even if it is not what you would call natural.
