Šume
Postoje različiti načini razvrstavanja šuma s obzirom na način na koji se one koriste, razine vlasti s kojih se njima gospodari te s obzirom na različite propise. Propisi o gospodarenju u pravilu definiraju korisnička prava, proizvodna prava, prava iskorištavanja, prava lova i sakupljanja itd. U širem smislu, razvrstavanjem šuma mogu se obuhvatiti i neka druga područja za gospodarenje prirodnim dobrima, poput močvara, livada, zapuštenih te otvorenih područja.
engl. Forests - There are typically many different forest classifications, designated for different uses, management authority levels and with various effective bi-laws. Management regulations typically outline user rights, production rights, extraction rights, hunting and gathering rights etc. Community forests and community land care groups use and manage designated areas by an identifiable community, but in many cases they must gain governmental approval of their management plan. In a more general sense, forest classifications can extend to a wide range of natural resource management areas including wetlands, grasslands, desserts, and cleared areas.
