Reforestación y repoblaciones forestales

Reforestación y repoblaciones forestales

• Distancias de plantación: Maintain a 2-meter distance between pine trees and grasslands, and 3 meters between eucalypts and grasslands, unless local ordinances dictate otherwise. For planting near freeways, maintain a 25-meter distance from the edge of the roadway to avoid needing authorization.

• Authorization for planting: Planting within 15 meters of a secondary roadway intersection might require authorization.

• Controlled-release fertilizer: 9:23:15 fertilizer is commonly used for simultaneous fertilization during pine tree planting.

• Plant selection defects: Missing root spiraling or secondary branch development, roots resembling a "knot" at the base, and root sprouts are not necessarily disqualifying factors. A ratio of shoot to root system of 1.1 or greater is not an exclusionary defect.

• Soil preparation (manual): Leaving soil within hand-dug planting holes helps prevent air pockets and soil layer inversion.

• Species suitability (Cantabria): Tree species native to Cantabria should be prioritized for reforestation projects. Species not appropriate for reforestation in Cantabria include the sequoia.

• Replanting: Replanting lost or damaged trees in an area is known as replanting of fatalities.

• Tree damage: Cervid (deer) damage to saplings, known as browzing, is a result of them rubbing antlers on the young trees.

• Planting methods: A triangle method of planting is known as "triangular spacing." This method of creating an equidistant triangle-shaped arrangement across land for plantings when preparing the ground for trees..

• Clearance of weeds: Weed removal is known as "clearance."

• Protecting tree trunks (individual): Protecting young trees from damage by adverse weather in planting areas and environmental factors is done with individual tree protectors. Types of individual protectors include mesh, roll-up, or greenhouse-type protectors, the use of which will depend on environmental conditions.

• Greenhouse Tubes: Greenhouse tubes are a popular method of protecting tree trunks from damage in temperate and cooler climates.

• Fertilizer application: Fertilization should occur during the establishment and/or transition stages to maximize success in reforestation projects.

• Types of stakes: Stakes used for enclosures are best selected based upon the species of tree being protected. Some of the most commonly selected include chestnuts, pines, acacias and oaks.

• Calcium content: If fertilization involves a 8/25/12 type of controlled release fertilizer with a 9-month duration, the approximate calcium content should be about 8%.
