Recreation includes activities such as walking, hiking, cycling, etc, i.e., ‘outdoor non-vehicular recreation’. Recreation demand was calculated as the number of projected visits for local recreation, estimated using the universal law of human mobility (Schläpfer et al., 2021, Nature). Recreation demand maps are supplied at 250 m resolution in a British National Grid transverse Mercator projection (EPSG 27700). For each visit frequency (weekly, monthly and yearly), there is a map with and without attractiveness included in the calculation, where protected areas are used a proxy for attractiveness.\n\nThis research was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under research programme NE/W005050/1 AgZero+ : Towards sustainable, climate-neutral farming.

To estimate the total number of projected visits in each 250 m target cell, a bespoke version of the universal law of human mobility was used (Schläpfer et al., 2021), as seen in the function below:\n\nDemand_i = Attractiveness_i × ∑ |j=1 to j= all| [(Population_j) / ((Frequency_ij × Traveling distance_ij)^∝)]\n\nwith i the target cell, j the source cell and the scaling factor α = 2.17, following Schläpfer et al. (2021); frequency is expressed as number of visits per year; travelling distance in kilometres.\n\nThe distance decay gravity function considers the number of visits to single target cells (i) depending on the \"Population\" size in a source cell (j), corrected by the \"Traveling distance\" from that source cell to the target cell and the \"Attractiveness\" of the target cell – the assumed relative likelihood of visiting that target cell. Traveling distance was estimated non-Euclidean, as a cost-weighted distance using the UK road network in 2.5 km cells and the distance to the nearest road within cells. The number of visits per year from the source cell to the target cell, i.e. the Frequency, is also included (weekly, monthly and yearly), since people tend to visit more often where there is a shorter distance to travel. Thus, for a given distance more predicted visits will arise from more densely populated cells compared with less populated cells, whereas at shorter distances more visits are predicted than at longer distances for a given source population density. For each target cell, the equation is summed over all potential source cells. See documentation accompanying the data for a detailed description of the data used for each parameter in the equation.
