Concept: Conversion to forest from other land uses, or afforestation (excluding drainage) in the threats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/vocabulary/art17_2018/threats/B01
Preferred label	Conversion to forest from other land uses, or afforestation (excluding drainage)
Definition	Increase in forest area, including planting of forests on grassland or heathland, or converting shrubs into forest. This pressure does not relate only to land use changes that occurred during the reporting period but it refers to instances where continuing the current forestry use of a natural/semi-natural habitat prevents the latter from being restored (e.g. in cases of land use conflicts between forestry and nature conservation for the restoration of some heathlands and peats, which were in the past afforested and are currently being managed and replanted as forests).
