While San Marino has no official protected areas, it has a law prohibiting the cutting down of any tree over 10 centimetres (3.9 in) in diameter, meaning that most trees within the country are legally protected. [4] Under the FRA 2010 Categorization of Forests, all of the land area of San Marino is considered "Other land", with none being "Forest" or "Other wooded land". [5] Despite the fact that 16% of the country is woodlands, predominantly of oaks and other broadleaves as Quercus pubescens , Fraxinus ornus , Ostrya carpinifolia , Acer obtusatum , Quercus cerris , Quercus ilex , Populus nigra , Salix alba . Shrublands and similar lands are dominated by Crataegus monogyna , Cornus sanguinea , Spartium junceum , Rubus ulmifolius , Rosa canina , Prunus spinosa , Quercus pubescens , Fraxinus ornus and Ulmus minor cover the 17%. Badlands are only 4% of the country, and less than 1% is covered by rivers. [6]
