By its origin, forests are divided into natural forest and planted forest;

Natural forests: forests are available in nature or restored by natural
regeneration, including primary and secondary forests.

Planted forests: refer to forests which are planted by human, including: new
plantations on land without forests; replanted forests after timber harvest of
existing planted forests, naturally regenerating forests from harvested planted
forests.

By purposes of use, forests are divided into protection forests, special-use
forests and production forests.

Protection forests: forests are mainly used to protect water resources,
protect land, prevent erosion, combat desertification, limit disasters, regulate
climate and protect the environment.

Special-use forests: forests are mainly used for nature conservation, the
standard sample of the national ecosystem, and forest genetic resources; scientific
research; protection of historical and cultural relics, tourist attraction; serve for rest
and tourism, combined with environmental protection.
Production forests: forests are mainly used for production and trading of
timber, and non-timber forest products, combined with purposes of protection and
environmental protection.

Forest area refers to the total forest area at a given time.

Newly concentrated forests are planted forests in the first year, meet the
technical standards for afforestation.

Production of timber and non-timber forest products includes production
of timber, firewood, bamboo, neohouzeaua, bambusa nutans, dendrocalamus
barbatus, etc., and other products such as shellac, resins, oleaginous fruits, nuts,
etc., harvested and collected from natural forests, planted forests and scattered
forests in a certain period of time.

4 Canopy cover is the level of coverage of canopy trees in a vertical direction per unit of forest area
expressed in tenths.
