Description
A thematic map of grassland has been drawn up using studies carried out at farm level as a starting point, correlating soils and specie group through significant parameters that condition their presence. The work method included the analysis of a geomorphologically homogeneous area through cartography and aerial photography. An elemental unit of the landscape was studied in detail with a pattern repeated all over the subregion, with soil samples at specie group level. Hidromorphism and variable alkalinity and saline patches are present in all profiles, gramineous, juncaceous, cyperaceous and forbs linked to the problems of soil already mentioned. A system was studied, that when applied to the units determined by sampling, allowed for the extrapolation of the areas to the great unit of landscape where the study was carried out. The aim of the study, particularly technological, is to facilitate the optimum use of the grasslands.
