State Legal Regulation of the Use and Protection of Protective Forest Plantations in Agriculture

Abstract

The subject of the study is the state impact on social relations arising in connection with the use and protection of protective forest plantations, as well as the legal regime of these plantations. The analysis made it possible to establish that protective forest plantations can be located on lands of various categories, however, legal norms have been developed in more detail only in relation to lands used in agriculture. Relations regarding protective forest plantations are the subject of complex legal regulation. As a result, the legal regime of plantations has an intersectoral character, which is influenced by the category of land and the purpose of the plantations themselves. It was revealed that in the established norms on protective forest plantations, due to the role and importance of vegetation in the life of society, priority is given to public environmental interests. Particular attention is given to the study of ownership of land occupied by protective forest plantations. It is noted that a significant part of such plots is in non-delimited state ownership, not put on the cadastral register. The author concludes that the most effective way to solve the problems that have arisen in the field of agroforestry is the economic incentives for land users.
