Classification of the tree presentation formats

We have classified the different tree presentation formats that you can find in our nursery from 1 (lowest grade) to 3 (highest grade). We think that the following parameters are key for the correct establishment of specimens in their final locations.

 

Grade Rooting Planting Circling Growth Residue Total
Bare roots 2 1 3 1 3 10
Root ball 2 2 3 2 3 12
Container 3 3 2 3 1 12
Air-Pot ® 3 3 3 3 3 15

Analysed Impact Categories

The life-cycle analyses have been performed using the guidelines ISO 14040 (Life cycle analysis – Principles and framework) and ISO 14044 (Environmental management – Life cycle assessment – Requirements and guidelines).

Acidification

Indicator of potential acidification of soils and water (increase in pH). Associated with the death of plantlife, low crop yields, soil infertility, contamination of water-based ecosystems, etc.

Method and unit

EF v3.1 | acidification | accumulated excess (AE) (mol H+-Eq)

Climate Change

Indicator of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) which contribute to climate change in the atmosphere. Associated with the increase in temperatures and changes in climate patterns due to the greenhouse effect.

Method and unit

IPCC 2021 | climate change | global warming potential (GWP100) (kg CO2-Eq)

Ecotoxicity

Indicator that measures the toxic effects of chemical compounds in the ecosystem. Associated with the bioaccumulation of toxic compounds, the death of living organisms and the alteration or breakdown of ecosystems.

Method and unit

USEtox | ecotoxicity | total (CTU)

Depletion of Fossil Fuels

Indicator of the depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels. Associated with the concern that these limited energy resources will not be available in the future based on current consumption patterns.

Method and unit

CML v4.8 2016 | energy resources: non-renewable | abiotic depletion potential (ADP): fossil fuels (MJ)

Eutrophication

Indicator of the enrichment of the freshwater ecosystem with nutrients. Associated with the excessive growth of algae in bodies of water, a lack of oxygen and the death of aquatic organisms.

Method and unit

CML v4.8 2016 | eutrophication (kg PO4-Eq)

Land Use for Agriculture

Indicator of the use and transformation of land with agricultural potential for other purposes, such as forests, roads, industrial areas and mineral extraction, among others.

Method and unit

ReCiPe 2016 v1.03, midpoint (H) | land use | use of agricultural land (LOP) (m2 cultivo-Eq)

Depletion of Minerals and Metals

Indicator of depletion of metal and mineral resources. Associated with the concern that these extremely scarce, non-renewable resources will not be available in the future.

Method and unit

CML v4.8 2016 | material resources: metals/minerals | abiotic depletion potential (ADP): elements (last reserves) (kg Sb-Eq)

Water Use

Analysis of water use in transformation processes. Water use can stem from a wide range of sources, from its direct use in production processes to its indirect use in hydroelectric power.

Method and unit

ReCiPe 2016 v1.03, midpoint (H) | water consumption potential (WCP) (m3 H2O)

Canon de Belloch

The Canon Belloch is the result of an ambitious scientific study conceived to determine the optimum tree planting for our cities in the Iberian Peninsula, based on a holistic perspective. It is not only a question of previously unstated scientific curiosity, but it also exemplifies the social commitment of Belloch Forestal to promoting the best offer for all.

The Canon’s catalogue has been selected from an initial list of 115 species commonly used for linear tree planting in cities in our geographical and climatic context. The desire to limit the number of species reflects a commitment to establishing a true priority list, whilst maintaining a reasonable diversity of botanical statures, morphologies and taxa.

The species included in the catalogue combine a series of contrasting attributes that make them particularly interesting on account of their overall capabilities, performance and tolerance to the urban environment. Does this mean to say that a species that is not in the Canon is not recommended for linear tree planting? Not necessarily. In this respect, the Canon has no dogmatic pretensions. In the future, it may be subject to revisions and/or extensions given that there are still numerous knowledge gaps to be filled and potential new species to consider for evaluation.
