In short, it seems that <strong>afforestation</strong> success is best ensured <strong>in</strong>:<br />
• sites <strong>of</strong> low elevation (0 to 400 m),<br />
• previously occupied by olive orchards,<br />
• <strong>in</strong> granitic and depth soils (> 60 cm),<br />
• us<strong>in</strong>g species mixes with cork oak and<br />
• when animal damage tree protection is used.<br />
Afforestation will succeed badly <strong>in</strong>:<br />
• mounta<strong>in</strong> areas (elevation between 700 to 1000 m),<br />
• <strong>in</strong> sandy and superficial soils (< 30 cm),<br />
• us<strong>in</strong>g mixed compositions and<br />
• without any k<strong>in</strong>d <strong>of</strong> animal damage tree protection.<br />
