| 2. According to site conditions and degradation impacts, were the objectives appropriate and
well-chosen? |
| Yes |
| Explain briefly: |
Nowadays, retaining the soil to avoid floodings in the nearest towns is as important as before. That is what prompts managers to think of other objectives to improve the forest situation. |
|
| 3. According to site conditions and degradation impacts, were the methods (site preparation, species selection, prior actions,...) appropiate and
well-chosen? |
| Yes |
| Explain briefly: |
The technique has been improved since the project was made. Nowadays the cost and number of gaps would have been lower. However, the methods were the best ones that existed a century ago. |
|
| 4. Do ecological health and integrity appear to be improved, enhanced? |
| Yes |
| Explain briefly: |
Since the complexity has been increased |
|
| 5. Does the general ecological trajectory appear dynamic? |
| Yes |
| Explain briefly: |
Vegetation evolved from Thymus and Stipa tenacissima to a pine forest, where there exists regeneration and a tree strata with pines, oaks and riparian vegetation. |
|
| 6. Any signs of threshold crossings? |
| No |
| Explain briefly: |
|
|
| 7. Consequences of the restoration project on the soil (physical properties, biological activities,
functions,...): |
| The amount of organic matter was higher; this activated the nutrient cycles and improved the chemical and physical characteristics of the soil. |
|
| 8. Consequences on ecosystem structure,
including forest cover, horizontal layers, etc. : |
| Horizontal and vertical structure have been diversified. |
|
| 9. Consequences on ecosystem functions : productivity, dissemination, etc.
: |
| Higher productivity and higher and better dissemination |
|
| 10. Actions needed and next monitoring actions to be considered. Please explain in your own words and indicate your recommendations, e.g.,
for |
| a.- Research/Development: |
New methods to increase biodiversity in the forest: species, structure... |
| b.- Demonstration, communication and education: |
To show tourists how a forest has been traditionally managed |
| c.- Public policy: |
More resources for the rural population who own the lands that must be protected |
| d.- Other: |
|
