Natural monuments in Saxony, dotted

The data set contains the punctually recorded natural monuments (ND) in the Free State of Saxony as a result of their barren expansion. According to the Saxon Nature Conservation Act (SächsNatSchG) and § 28 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG), natural landscape features and individual creations of nature or corresponding areas of up to five hectares, the special protection of which is necessary for scientific, historical or regional reasons, or because of their rarity, peculiarity or beauty, are legally binding. Natural monuments can, for example, be individual trees, tree groups and avenues, geological formations or natural history testimonies. The protection purpose can also include natural history or regional cultural values. Land natural monuments can in particular be biotopes that are particularly protected under § 30 BNatSchG in conjunction with § 21 SächsNatSchG or which are habitats of particularly endangered animal or plant species. The close interlocking of such biotopes can be a special reason for underprotection. For each natural monument, the geographical name is listed.本数据集收录了萨克森自由州内因裸地扩张形成的自然纪念地（Natural Monuments, ND）的定点记录数据。依据《萨克森州自然保护法》（SächsNatSchG）与《联邦自然保护法》（BNatSchG）第28条规定，具有科学、历史或地域价值，或因稀有性、独特性或美学价值而需要特殊保护的自然景观特征、天然单体造物或面积不超过5公顷的相关区域，均受法律强制保护。自然纪念地例如可包括单体树木、树木群落与林荫道、地质构造或自然史遗迹，其保护目标亦可涵盖自然史或地域文化价值。陆地类自然纪念地尤其可指依据《联邦自然保护法》（BNatSchG）第30条结合《萨克森州自然保护法》（SächsNatSchG）第21条予以特殊保护的生境，或是极度濒危动植物物种的栖息地。此类生境的紧密连通性，亦可成为保护力度不足的特殊诱因。本数据集为每一处自然纪念地均标注了其地理名称。
