Growth response scores are designated to each environmental condition for each species. These scores are used to model the site-specific and species-specific suitability of each 30m x 30m grid cell. The resulting ecological suitability maps (figure 4.2) indicate the potential growth response (i.e., site index) of each species, on a particular site. These growth response maps indicate how the environmental variables influence growth for that species on a per pixel basis. In general, results show that S. amazonicum did perform relatively well on soils with high aluminium content and low potassium (LCaK), as the other species. All species present similar growth and productivity trends across the soil environmental gradient; however T. amazonica showed suitability scores consistently lower than the other species. The soil parameters excluded little area, only those areas that were classed as “river bed” based on remote sensing analysis. These layers were used to reduce growth potential using what was known of the trees’ physiology and environmental prerequisites. The resulting species-specific growth response maps indicate the degree by which optimal growth is reduced. Ineligible areas, i.e., unsuitable for reforestation, were excluded from the analysis, based upon the land use map. Figure 4.2: Ecological and land suitability maps for five proposed tree species. a.
