Abstract

From the Historical Geography perspective, we aimed at understanding how the expansion of forestry in Minas Gerais occurred, by pursuing a synchronic and diachronic investigation of the used territory. We verified that public policies, the partnership between university-industry and the advances in silvicultural techniques as well drove the trajectory of forestry in the state, particularly of eucalyptus. In addition, the evolution of the reforestation took place from the south of the state to regions of flat relief and low land cost, consolidating in the North and in the Jequitinhonha Valley. 

Keywords: Reforestation; Eucalyptus; Historical Geography; Used Territory.
