The study of a vast territory can be analyzed based on data from specialty studies and from forest management plans; data from forest management plans characterize the area covered by forests and are extremely detailed for small surfaces of only a few hectares. The present paper has used such data, namely from the forest management plans of all national forests located in the West Plain. According to the data, field configuration is 83% plain, and only 13% undulated; the average altitude is of 100 m, while the total surface of km2 is represented by agricultural fields (90%), with only 4% as forest fund.
