Ecological basic units for demarcating forest areas of origin

The basic ecological units for the demarcation of forest areas of origin are based on Annexes 1 and 2 of the Forest Propagating Material Origin Ordinance — FoVHgV of 7 October 1994 (BGBl. I, p. 3578), as amended by the Ordinance of 15.1.2003 (BGBl. I p. 238). On the basis of the basic ecological units, the areas of origin of the tree species that are subject to the Forest Propagation Goods Act (FoVG) were determined. This dataset is for information only and is only suitable for display purposes, as it does not reflect precise boundary gradients. Only the limits of the ecological basic units for the demarcation of forest areas as defined in Annex 1 to the Ordinance (FoVHgV) are legally binding for the allocation of forest areas.
