Abstract

The integrated information of soil characteristics as well as of other elements of the environment
is of fundamental importance for the sustainability and competitiveness of the Brazilian forest sector. This
study was developed in order to identify a set of productive management units for plantations established with
Eucalyptus species, using the method called "Fuzzy Logic". Data were obtained from 128 sampling units from
a detailed soil survey (scale 1:15,000) of a 4,660 ha eucalyptus plantation, located in Araraquara county, in the
western plateau of the São Paulo State. The proposed method showed a great potential to be used as a tool to
support the identification of management units for Eucalyptus sp. planted forests. The following management
units were identified for the establishment of Eucalyptus plantations: good, moderate, weak, very weak and inapt.
