Abstract

Uruguayan legislation, through Law 15.939, the Forestry Law, and its regulations, defines native forest as “vegetative associations in which trees of any size predominate, whether exploited or not, and are capable of producing timber or other forest products, influencing soil conservation, hydro-logical regimes, or climate, or providing shelter or other benefits of national interest.” Additionally, under its regulations, Decree 452/988 establishes that forests are considered tree formations with a “minimum area of 2,500 m²”. Furthermore, the General Directorate of Forestry (DGF), in the Native Forest Registration Guidelines, specifies that there must be at least 200 trees per hectare and a minimum coverage of 50%.
