The Cryptomeria and La Secuoya Are Eat land to pine insignia in the forests of Gipuzkoa. Euskadi. This is collected in the situation of situation and health of the forests of the territory made by Gipuzkoa Forest Association (GEVE).
And they have been that Three consecutive campaigns in which any planning of Insignis in Gipuzkoa is not made And, although it is still the main speciesIts presence has fallen remarkably, from 35% to 22% of the wooded surface in five years and almost withdrawn 5,000 hectares since 2019.
Despite the considerable number of retirement copies, pines who remain 40% are affected, Severa, by the brown band. In the report of Geboe it is clear that cryptome and secuoya “consolidate as more used species to replace sick pine masses.”
He Gipuzkoa -boom -Paired Territorium He won 285 hectares in two years And already 61.6% of the surface is covered with trees.
The 68 million copies that are Calculate that they exist in Gipuzkoa (Euskadi), The most wooded territory of the state, are divided into 121,865 hectares, of which 22% are protected in spaces by the Natura 2000 network, where the most prominent species have been hekers, with 11,682 hectares and the oaks of the country, which occupied 2,184.
A forest mass that suffers
The Gipuzkoa Forest Mass suffersAs a major problem, an important level of leaving forest, that grows that year after year and currently exceeds more than 16.1% of the total surface. The situation of abandonment creates gebles in a special way, which observes how the so -called “mixed Atlantic forest” expands.
He Hazi card has detected in the past year 196 hectares of forest in a state of abandonmentwith those already are 19,666 Those who have no care or manage anyn, nor of the public nor of the private.
The Figure takes a greater relevance As the set of Basque Country, Where they exist 38.011 abandoned hectare, Of which 19,666, more than 50%, are in Gipuzkoa. This surface is occupied by weeds, which increases the risk of fire.
To combat that situation and the three -year -old derivative without planting, Important replanting effort 4,000 hectares with other species In the country that occupies the pine forests.
A species to emphasize, although its presence is limited by the Diputación de Gipuzkoa Use before the age of 25, it is Eucalyptus, which takes 1.3% of the wooded mass That “is planted on plantations, never on the native forest.”
“Repopulation is the first step, but Go forward the mountain is much more than plant. We must influence the viable and sustainable management. Without viability there is abandoned and without sustainability there is no future. They go hand in hand, “emphasizes the president of Gebe, Juan Carlos Berraondo.
But repopulation is not a task of a few seasons and Berraondo stands out: “It requires an obligation for years, care so that the mountain will bloom and fulfill its functions.”
Euskadi: alert to the decrease in radio line forests
The Ministry of Food, Rural Development, Agriculture and Fisheries of the Basque Government has the Euskadi -Boskaart of the year 2024 in which it stands out The descent of the surface occupied by the adult masses of Pino Radiata continuesthat descended in around 2,600 hectares in a year, and parallel the increase From the expansion of new species such as Crypttoia or Secuoya.
He Euskadi -Boskaart It has been published annually since 2018 in collaboration with Hazi Fundazioa. It can be consulted at the level of municipal tables, but it is also Downloadable and visualizable on the Geoeuskad websiteI, Reference Geoportal of the Spatial Data Infrastructure (IDE) of Basque Country. The tables make it possible to quantify the changes that occur in every geographical field of the Basque Country, not only forest, because they make the slow increase in the urbanized and infrastructure area possible.
Later this card will be supplemented with Forest biomass calculations, wood broth and forested heights, Based on the recent 2024 flights (Lidar and Photogrammetric) and in the periodic measurements of the basonet network.
