- Abstract
Soil is a fundamental factor in the sustainability of a forest system. The interpretive soil use charts point out the suitability for a given use. The soil potential can be appraised referring to diagnostic-characteristics of each soil unit, which due to its presence or absence may influence the soil use suitability. This study's purpose is the development of a model of adequacy of one of the diagnostic-characteristic (FERREIRA et al., 2001), for cork oak. This development takes place in a geographic information system environment, considering topography, potential soil loss and deposition a sin dependent variables. These variables are expressed through indexes of Structural Water Erosion (EHE) and Potential Structural Deposition (DEP). This method ology opened the way to the creation of a soil capability map, where the above referred diagnostic-characteristicis split in five classes. The statistical analysis shows the model's adherence to reality, using then ahydrous weight of cork (PCM2) peruni to feedbarked area as an indicator. The present methodology produces a more detailed soil capability class map.
