Surface generators related to grade A7 easements

Category A7 easements concern easements relating to so-called protection forests. The following may be classified as protective forests, for reasons of public utility:
— woods and forests the conservation of which is recognised as necessary for the maintenance of land on mountains and slopes, protection against avalanches, erosions and flooding of waters and sands;
— woods and forests located on the periphery of large agglomerations;
— woods and forests located in areas where maintenance is necessary either for ecological reasons or for the well-being of the population.
Protection forests shall be subject to a special forestry regime, in particular as regards management and operating rules, the exercise of grazing and user rights, excavations and extractions of materials and the research and exploitation of the water resource by public authorities or their delegates.
Classification as a protective forest prohibits any change in land use or land use that would compromise the conservation or protection of afforestation.

This resource describes the surface generators of Grade A7 easements, i.e. forests classified as protective forests.

A7类地役权（easement）涉及与所谓防护林地（protective forests）相关的地役权。出于公共利益考量，以下林木与森林可被归类为防护林地：
— 为维持山地与坡地土地稳定、抵御雪崩、水土流失以及水体与沙尘泛滥，其养护被认定为必要的林木与森林；
— 位于大型城市群周边的林木与森林；
— 因生态原因或保障民众福祉而需要进行养护的区域内的林木与森林。

防护林地须适用特殊林业管理制度，尤其在经营与作业规则、放牧权与使用权的行使、物料采掘与提取，以及公共主管部门或其授权主体对水资源的研究与开发利用等方面。

被认定为防护林地的区域，禁止任何土地用途变更，或实施会损害造林养护与保护的土地利用行为。

本数据集描述了A7类地役权的地表标的，即被归类为防护林地的森林。
