GONCALVES, Ana Cristina; JULIO, Carlos  y  FERREIRA, Alfredo Gonçalves. Development of Methodologies for the Identification of Areas to be Forested. Silva Lus. [online]. 2008, vol.16, n.Especial, pp.79-88. ISSN 0870-6352.

The identification of the areas which can be forested comprises both the analysis of the available areas and the adequacy of the species, regarding their ecological-cultural characteristics; of the site, regarding their edafo-climatic characteristics and of the productions to be attained. The quantification of the forest area expansion was carried out in two phases; in the first one by the identification and selection of the areas to be forested and in the second by the selection of the species. In the first phase the areas that can be forested were identified as a function of the soil characteristics, where the areas with slope higher than 35%, with rock outcrops and with runoff, that is which promotes water accumulation at soil surface, where considered inadequate for forestation. In the second phase the species were selected as function of the aptitude. The application of this methodology allows, at the regional forest planning level, a first approach to the composition of the areas that can be forested.
