Land description
Hi all!
This is from a description of an agricultural research institute's facilities:
• La finca es de regadío, pero hay cinco parcelas que son de **soto de río**, y que actualmente no tienen uso agrario. Toda la finca está vallada por la parte que limita por el río, quedando fuera de la valla, estas parcelas no cultivadas. Por la otra parte, y con la excepción de la citada parcela 80 la finca está limitada por la acequia.
Could it be something like "river grove"?
MTIA for any suggestions.

Comment: "Thanks Mike! In fact both answers are good but I felt grove best expressed the fact that there are trees there. Thank you both."

are on the river bank/border the river/are on either side of the river
I went for a walk in our city's (Avila) "Soto" yesterday! A lot of cities, towns etc have an area on the outskirts where the land near the river banks has been converted into a kind of leisure area. I wonder if there is a legal limitation to land use along river banks.
You can often spot the sotos because there will be an area of trees growing alongside the river: in our area they are often ash trees. Hence the translation of soto as "river grove" - but it sounds a little poetic to me when we're talking about land use.
