Portugal – Góis<br />

The Góis area is covered with Eucalyptus and Pine <strong>for</strong>est, with a major increase of use intensity in parts, and at the same<br />

time a decrease in other parts. <strong>Land</strong> degradation (by soil erosion and some biological degradation) is extensive in the areas<br />

with increasing intensity of use of the <strong>for</strong>est due to out-migration of the land users. In these areas, there are no conservation<br />

measures at present, or measures with low effectiveness (terraces). SLM technologies remediating the incidence of <strong>for</strong>est<br />

fires (primary strip networks and prescribed fire) are proposed <strong>for</strong> the area and described in this book.<br />
