*2.3. Colleted Maps*

In order to obtain the appropriate areas for the crops implementation, it was necessary to compile as many data or factors as possible, according to information available from various sources, mainly on official websites of Portuguese and European institutions. The administrative maps of the territory and those related to land use and occupation provided by DGT have been considered; environmental aspects such as temperature, precipitation, sunshine and frost provided by APA, including the map created with CO2 production in each municipality; various ecological factors of soil and subsoil and the edapho-morphological aptitude for agriculture and forestry of the Ecological Planning, Investigation and Cartography - EPIC WebGIS platform (ISA-UL); protected areas and soils susceptible to desertification from ICNF; contaminated soils based on the mining areas managed by EDM and the capacity and treatment applied in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in mainland Portugal, according to the EEA platform, each factor being considered a spatial thematic layer.

In the Supplementary Materials, each considered map will be described as well as the selected data for every species, considering the listed characteristics in Tables 1 and 2.
