in pine plantation.
It is also the purpose of the model to set
isocost areas within the P.R., based on forest
management techniques, logging and
transportation systems. However, this step was
not carry out in this study.
4. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION
The Figures 03 to 05 show the outputs
related to environmental/productive regions,
soil erosion and a map of forest productivity.
In Figure 03, is shown the results
concerning the broad land use classification, as
set up by the model. It is important to
remember that TER. is going to be
established based on soil erosion potential. For
this reason, it is not presented in this map, only

Figure 04, on the other hand, shows the
results about soil erosion potential. Three
classes were established, but just two were
applied to define forest productive lands. The
high class of soil erosion was considered as the
