| 2. According to site conditions and degradation impacts, were the objectives appropriate and
well-chosen? |
| No |
| Explain briefly: |
The productivity of the area is very low. The restoration would be designed only for ecological purpose |
|
| 3. According to site conditions and degradation impacts, were the methods (site preparation, species selection, prior actions,...) appropiate and
well-chosen? |
| No |
| Explain briefly: |
The site preparation was well chosen, and it not caused negative impact. Nevertheless, the mono-specificity and height plant density created a plantation very uniform |
|
| 4. Do ecological health and integrity appear to be improved, enhanced? |
| No |
| Explain briefly: |
The great density and continuity of the created mass, turn it very sensible to fires and to propagation of pest or diseases |
|
| 5. Does the general ecological trajectory appear dynamic? |
| No |
| Explain briefly: |
Due to the height density plantation, at the present time the established mass has evolved solely towards an increase in the size of the trees, but not towards more advanced ecological stages |
|
| 6. Any signs of threshold crossings? |
| No |
| Explain briefly: |
|
|
| 7. Consequences of the restoration project on the soil (physical properties, biological activities,
functions,...): |
| The soil properties have been improved and/or conserved |
|
| 8. Consequences on ecosystem structure,
including forest cover, horizontal layers, etc. : |
| The plantation has a higher tree cover than that present in areas with natural vegetation, but the layer distribution is less diverse |
|
| 9. Consequences on ecosystem functions : productivity, dissemination, etc.
: |
| The functionality is less diverse than in natural areas but has increased in relation to deforested areas |
|
| 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: |
The suitability of pinus sylvestris over pinus nigra |
| b.- Demonstration, communication and education: |
At the moment the knowledge of the project by most part of the population is practically nill. |
| c.- Public policy: |
Increase in the biodiversity and functionality of the plantation |
| d.- Other: |
|
