Resumo(s)
An attempt to obtain a consistent spatial model of natural potential vegetation
(NPV) for the mainland Portuguese territory is reported. Spatial modeling procedures
performed in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, aimed to operationalize
phytosociological expert-knowledge about the putative distribution of potential zona1
forest communities dominant in the Portuguese continental territories. The paradigm for
NPV assumed was that of RIVAS-MARTINEZ (1976) and RIVAS-MARTINEZ et al. (1999),
which presupposes, for a given territory, a univocal correspondence between a uniform
combination of bioclimatic stage and lithology given a biogeographical context, and a
unique successional sequence leading to a single climax community (i. e. a vegetation series (VS)).
