Prediction of profitable crown biomass is of Pinus tropicalis for m3 of shaft’s wood
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study was developed in natural forests of Pinus tropicalis var. caribaea, subjected to forestry’s handlings, in the municipalities of Viñales, Guane, La Palma and Minas de Matahambre, county of Pinar del Río. The investigation had as central objective to define the half potential of biomass to foliate and lumberman biomass of profitable tree crown, for m3 of wooden of shaft, extracted of the forest daily, programmed to use for the obtaining of extract alcoholic with biological activity and like of energy payee, respectively. The results showed that for each m3 of gathered wood’s shaft, a crown biomass of 85,4 kg was reached; 127,6 kg of fascicules bundle’s biomass and 102,5 kg of aciculum; numbers that are recommended to use as reliable indicators for the estimate of these biomasses, starting from knowledge of the shaft wooden’s m3 taken advantage daily by the extractive brigades, like average.
