EVALUATION OF FORESTRY LAND CAPABILITY

ABSTRACT

The present scenario of Brazilian agriculture and forestry requires a new approach to assess the land capabifity for forest cultivation. In this study modifications in the System of Evaluation of the Land Agricultural Capability, utilized by EMBRAPA/ CNPS, were proposed and tested on the campus of Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro. Groups and sub groups of land capability for forest production were created for the levels of management A, B and C. Also, lands identified as ecologically important were included in the concept of non-arable lands, independently of their agricutural potential.

Key words
