| Sumario: | In the Pampas region of Argentina, the territory’s transformation for productive and real estate purposes has had different biophysical and social impacts. Faced with the conflicts arising between urban and rural areas, local regulations try to protect the environment by establishing buffer zones where pesticide application is forbidden, and by promoting tree planting. In this work, we analyze the land’s suitability for forestry use in the peri-urban areas within the Ludueña stream basin, Santa Fe, Argentina. Applying the land evaluation system for specific uses proposed by FAO (FAO, 1976), the land units suitable for commercial forestry were mapped using Popolus, Salix and Eucalyptus spp Two edaphic units with moderate to marginal suitability for the proposed uses were identified. Both units cover an average of 54% of the area with restrictions on pesticide use. The precise delimitation of these sites around towns and cities is the basic tool for planning their use, in combination with preexisting local urban plans. However, 41% of the land in the area analyzed was considered unsuitable for commercial forestry purposes. Therefore, other forestry uses including native species should be considered. |
