Abstract

Zoning based on climate and soil characteristics does not represent a full ecological-economic zoning procedure, as the Brazilian law establishes, but it is a positive step forward toward a sustainable use of natural resources. The Embrapa Temperate Climate Research Center has developed, with the collaboration of several entities from Brazil and Uruguay, a zoning procedure based on climate and soil for planting eucalyptus in southern region of Rio Grande do Sul State covering a total area greater than 3,5 million hectares. Three eucalyptus species were considered: Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden, Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. Data were processed and integrated through statistical procedures and by using a GIS. The potential surface area for forestry surpasses 900,000 hectares, but a homogeneous exploitation of that territory is limited by legal restrictions.
