PLANTABLE AREAS
These are defined on the basis of their aptitude
for growth of the crop and on the land use criteria
determined by legal regulations.
UNPLANTABLE AREAS
These are areas that are not
suitable for afforestation. They are
characterised and categorised based
on the different types of environment,
including natural drainage systems,
low-lying areas or other areas:
riparian areas, ravines, escarpments,
buffer zones, rocky ledges and flat-
topped hills, as well as any area
occupied by natural forests. Each
type of environment is included in the
geographic information system. They
are also categorised according to their
potential use, which includes: livestock,
cultivation of fodder species, strict
conservation and biological corridors,
among others. In all cases where a
productive use is pursued, requirements
are maintained for the responsible use
of resources.
PLANTABLE AREAS SET ASIDE FOR
CONSERVATION
These are potentially plantable areas that are not
forested due to the existence of native ecosystems
of relevance to the conservation of species or
environments such as natural fields of high value,
palm groves, sand dunes, scrubland, areas
occupied by populations of endemic species (for
example the Río Negro tuco-tuco - Ctenomys
rionegrensis), among others.
They also include quarries, sites of
archaeological or historical and cultural value,
visual basins, etc.
