The punctual soil-preparation techniques making a hole and constructing small runoff collectors
(minicatchments) are preferred to linear and surface treatments that prepare the soil in general
all over the plantation surface.
Areas that have normally been considered more difficult to restore due to a de-structured profile,
to the presence of superficial physical crusts and to a scarce vegetal cover are the ones showing
a better response to minicatchments system (Bocio et al. 2004; De Simón 2006). Best practices
were identified in “Navas Pinarejo” forest and “Sureste” Regional Park.
3.3.6. Protection of the reforestation area
Individual shelters do not show consistent better results than boundary fences for reforestation
survival (Costa 2003; Sharew and Hairston-Strang 2005; Bergez and Dupraz 2009). Visual
impact depends on the colour integration and visibility (Ammer and Pröbstl 1991). They cause
temporal impact if they are removed. Best practices were described in “Canencia”, “Navas y
Pinarejo” and “La Morcuera” forests.
4. Conclusion
The proposed array of principles and criteria offers considerable promise to landscape discipline
incorporation in reforestation activities and should be view as a push to sustainable forest
management and best practices identification.
