  6. Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Alimentación The Government of Argentina received a loan from the World Bank for the execution of a Project for the forest sector. An Executive Project Unit was created to assist in this task according to the procedures determined by the loan regulations to strengthen the capacity of both secretariats. Forest Development Project Native Forest and Protected Areas Project

  7. Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Alimentación FOREST DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Overall objective To strengthen the capacity of the Government of Argentina through SAGPYA for: ASSESMENT and MANAGEMENT of its forest resources DEVELOPMENT of UPDATED FOREST POLICIES and REGULATIONS First National Inventory of Forest Plantations and Management of Related Database

  9. Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Alimentación Indicator 7.4B - SCOPE, FREQUENCY AND RELIABILITY OF FOREST INVENTORY Scope of current forest inventory of plantation 1997 - 1998 First National Inventory of Forest Plantations and Management of a Related Database The Consortium formed by Aeroterra (Argentina), Tecsult International Limitee and Simons Red Collins (Canada), was in charge of the inventory according to procedures determined by the contract. It began during December 1997 and ends August 2001.

  10. Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Alimentación Indicator 7.4B - SCOPE, FREQUENCY AND RELIABILITY OF FOREST INVENTORY First National Inventory of Forest Plantations and Management of a Related Database General objective • Define an economic, efficient and sistematic system to obtain data for forest plantations and execute the first inventory of forest plantations.

  11. Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Alimentación Indicator 7.4B - SCOPE, FREQUENCY AND RELIABILITY OF FOREST INVENTORY First National Inventory of Forest Plantations and Management of a Related Database Specific objectives • At the Province / region level: • Define areas of plantations (size, location) of all major species, Pinus spp; Eucalyptus spp; Populus and Salix spp; other conifers and hardwoods. • Estimate total wood volume for the main groups of species per province / region. • Produce thematic maps 1:100.000 scale - Infrastructure and forest polygons digitized and adjusted to satellite image Landsat TM5. • Store all the data in a Geographic Information System (GIS). • Establish a database for assisting in the updating of the inventory. • Training personnel in all the phases of the inventory.

  13. Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Alimentación Indicator 7.4B - SCOPE, FREQUENCY AND RELIABILITY OF FOREST INVENTORY First National Inventory of Forest Plantations and Management of a Related Database Regions There are plantations that are not included for different reasons in this inventory • Difficulties to determine the area of recent plantations with trees too small to be seen in the satellite images. • Detection of windbreaks. • Plantations smaller than 5 ha. • Plantations established after 1998.

  14. Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Alimentación Indicator 7.4B - SCOPE, FREQUENCY AND RELIABILITY OF FOREST INVENTORY First National Inventory of Forest Plantations and Management of a Related Database Error • < 10% for each of the 4 regions that contained most of the planted area. The error associated with the estimation of the volume per unit area was: • < 15% for the other three regions where the rest of the plantations were located. In both cases 95% of confidenciality The area of the recently established plantations was underestimated because their trees were too small to be seen in the satellite images. This problem was ameliorated by the fact that 90% of the area planted since 1995 has been registered in a Geographical Information System by SAGPyA.

  35. Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Alimentación Indicator 7.4B - SCOPE, FREQUENCY AND RELIABILITY OF FOREST INVENTORY National Native Forest Inventory and Management of a Related Database Argentina forests and woodlands The native forest area of Argentina is estimated around 36 million hectares, this means that about 13 percent of the country continental surface is forest and woodland and its potential commercial capacity is estimated in approximately 15 million hectares. Due to the country extension, the areas covered by native forest are quite different among them. Therefore, they have been grouped in six forest native regions. They present a rich diversity of ecosystems varied in their floristic composition, structure and the fauna they support.
