This App is intended to consult geographic information on the aptitude of the cork oak (Quercus suber L.) based on the quality indexes published in Paulo, JA, Faias, S., Gomes, AA, Palma, J., Tomé, J ., Tomé, M. 2015. Predicting site index from climate and soil variables for cork oak (Quercus suber L.) stands in Portugal. New Forests 46 (2): 293-307. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11056-014-9462-4
Corresponds to the reduced model mentioned in the article, which was based on digital cartography that exists on a national scale. The quality index is based on the development of the tree, that is, it intends to identify the most suitable places for the installation of cork oak, taking into account its growth potential.
The established classes of aptitude - Low, Medium low, Medium high and High have quality indexes that vary between] 9 to 11],] 11 to 13],] 13 to 15] and] 15 to 17], respectively.
The areas without information, correspond to areas without aptitude or to areas without basic information that allows to estimate the aptitude.
