“…Eutric and dystric cambisols prevalent in the current area were also mentioned in chestnut stands aimed for timber production in Spain [26]. These soils can generally make good intensive agricultural land.…”

“…Major areas of these soils should deliver adequate fertility conditions for high fruit productivity. A good indicator for the area expansion is the predominance of cambisols and luvisols in either current or potential areas, insofar that these are commonly associated soil types, slightly differentiated, with a good potential aptitude to chestnut implementation and management [26].…”

“…The availability of soil organic matter, at amounts higher than 2%, besides improving soil structure, porosity and water and nutrient availability and reducing waterlogging, is a factor potentially allowing to minimize the impact of chestnut ink disease [26]. Elevation between 700 m and 1000 m is mentioned as adequate for chestnut fruit production [13].…”

GIS-Based Assessment of the Chestnut Expansion Potential: A Case-Study on the Marvão Productive Area, Portugal

Sweet chestnut is a relevant species in Europe for the production of timber and fruit, alongside environmental effects such as biodiversity of protection against soil erosion. In Portugal, chestnut is cultivated mainly for fruit production, in two areas, in the North and the South of the country, with moderate water deficit and low slope and at altitudes higher than 500 m. The current area (845 ha) of the southern so-called Marvão Protected Designation of Origin, of a fortyfold lower order of magnitude by comparison with the Northern productive area, has a significant expansion potential, given its similarity with contiguous areas in the same region. In this context, the main objective of the present work was the evaluation through geographic information analysis of that expansive potential, by comparison of physiographic profiling of the current production area with contiguous areas. A GIS-based characterization of current and potential chestnut areas in Marvão is presented. The methodology involved (i) digital profiling of the main classes/values of the geographical spatial ecological fingerprint considering topography, soil and microclimate variables in the areas currently occupied with sweet chestnut stands and (ii) the evaluation of the distribution of that environmental fingerprint in the whole Marvão productive area, for extending the cultivation to contiguous areas with a similar ecological fingerprint. An enlarged 9889 ha chestnut area was proposed, allocated for high forest stands aiming at agroforestry fruit production and coppiced stands for timber production and environmental protection, corresponding to 4590 ha and 5299 ha, respectively. Fruit production was proposed to field slopes of 0–4% and 4–8%, and altitudes between 400 m and 500 m. Presumable high-quality sites allocated to temporary dry/irrigated cultivations were also proposed for fruit production, in the same slope classes and altitudes higher than 500 m. Timber production and environmental protection were proposed for slopes within 8−12% and >12% ranges. This selection took into account the logistical feasibility facilitated in lower slopes for intensive mechanized management operations. This methodology permits a future field evaluation of site indexes, productivity, and correlations between environmental variables and stand biometry.

The methodology previously used to study the afforestations by terraces with Pinus sylvestris L. in Castilla y León is extended in this paper to study in more detail the impact on physical soil properties of the afforestations by terraces with Scots pine in the northern area of the Iberian Range of Soria. The values of soil parameters are obtained from 5 profile types: non-afforested, next to the cutting, next to the embankment, between terraces and in Scots pine mature stands, located in seven plot series, and then compared. The soil parameters are evaluated as follows: fine earth, sand, silt and clay, both in the whole profile and in the upper layer of the profile, permeability, equivalent moisture and water holding capacity of the soil profile, and erodibility. After 16-17 years, no significant changes have occurred in the physical properties that define the soil habitat of the Pinus sylvestris in Spain. Significant fine particle retention, nonoutstanding decrease of permeability, considerable improvement of water holding capacity, no increase of erodibility and progress toward ecological conditions similar to the soils with mature stands are detected, with values within those of the present central habitat of the species in Spain. Regarding to the changes in the soil physical properties, this method result appropriate for afforesting with Pinus sylvestris the above-mentioned region.
