Areas of origin of tree species for forest seed INSPIRE WMS

This service represents the areas of forest origin of the tree species that are subject to the FoVG (Forest Propagation Goods Act); they were drawn up on the basis of the Ordinance on Areas of Origin for Forestry Propagating Material (Forest Propagating Material Origin Regulation, FoVHgV of 7 October 1994 (BGBl. I, p. 3578), as amended by the Ordinance of 15.1.2003 (BGBl. I p. 238)). Vector data in the INSPIRE data model “Managing areas/protected areas/regulated areas and reporting” are available for the following 28 tree species: Acer platanoides/top maple; Acer pseudoplatanus/mountain maple; Alnus glutinosa/black alder; Alnus incana/Grey alder; Betula pendula/Hang-Birke; Betula pubescens/Moor-Birke; Carpinus betulus/Common hornbeam; Castanea sativa/noble chestnut; Fagus sylvatica/red beech; Fraxinus excelsior/Common ash; Prunus avium/bird cherry; Quercus rubra/red oak; Quercus robur/stalk oak; Quercus petraea/grape oak; Robinia pseudoacacia/Robinie; Tilia cordata/Winter-Linde; Tilia platyphyllos/Summer-Linde; Abies alba Mill./White fir; Abies grandis Lindl./Coast fir; Larix decidua/European larch; Larix kaempferi/Japanese larch; Picea abies/Common spruce; Picea sitchensis/Sitka spruce; Pinus nigra var. austriaca/black pine; Pinus nigra var. calabrica/black pine; Pinus nigra var. corsicana/black pine; Pinus sylvestris/forest pine; Pseudotsuga menziesii/Douglasie. However, only the limits of the ecological basic units for the demarcation of forest areas referred to in Appendix 1 to the above-mentioned Regulation are legally binding for the allocation of forest areas (see also data set “Basic ecological units for the delimitation of forest areas of origin”).
