Summary:ABSTRACT This work aimed to identify areas of agroclimatic aptitude for Eucalyptus urophylla cultivation in MATOPIBA. The agroclimatic aptitude classes for the species were determined considering the temperature and water needs, being adopted three different values of available water capacity (AWC), using a geographic information system (GIS). The agroclimatic aptitude classes for all AWCs analyzed identified the existence of full cultivation in some regions but with a predominance of restricted areas. The fit zones predominated in the mountainous regions of Bahia, southern Maranhão and northwest of Tocantins. There was a percentage increase in the aptitude area favorable for E. urophylla (apt) cultivation, from 7.68% to 29.13%, considering the AWC values of 100 and 220 mm, respectively.
