List of definitions in a document about creating a buffer strip for a power line. I have trawled through numerous forestry glossaries and cannot find a term in English. Could it be a 'block'? TIA

Parcel of Land


Explanation:
The "prédio" refers to a piece/parcel/demarcated piece of land, in this respect.

Here's an example:
"The Predio Cuenca, a 130 hectare parcel of land located within the Southwest boundaries of the CBPF.."

A Dutch site, but very well written in English.

I hope this leads you to a suitable answer :)

  -> Hey, Gilmar :) Jennifer's having an issue with word repetition, so "parcel" could be changed to portion/swathe/chunk/strip of land, for example, as alternatives.

corridor


Explanation:
8.1 Unplanted Corridors
Where ESB power lines traverse a site proposed for planting, corridors of the dimensions indicated in Table 4 below must be left unplanted beneath the lines. Corridor areas do not qualify for Forest Service grant assistance but may be used to satisfy the 15 % biodiversity requirement.

Proposed 132kV Grid Connection for Arecleoch Windfarm: Technical Appendices
...
Again, variable growth younger Sitka spruce, planted 1991, age 17yrs, Stated YC:12:
much of the crop performing below this, some areas at the northern end promising
more. Average FDP Felling date: 2033-2037. Typical early ‘90s upland forest commercial conifer plantation, with greater scale of open space, with wider unplanted corridors along watercourses.
...
In some contrast to this, in the northern section, additional felling outwith the minimum 60m corridor is proposed to accord with the scale of open ground afforded the Daltangan burn in this area where the route exits the forest.
...
The route follows the existing narrow clearance corridor (10-12m) for an existing 11kv/33kV wood pole line, and utilises the corridor break. Trenching will be confined to within the existing corridor wayleave, either side of which comprises mid rotation/mature conifer plantation1, comprising mainly Norway spruce, some larch, c1970, over a distance of some 60 metres.
