Abstract
The work was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the effects of the selective cutting in productions forest on the natural regeneration of the associated vegetation, wooden residuals and soil. The research was executed in the zone named as “Pinar del Indio “, Granma, Cuba. For this were lifted six temporal parcels of sampling of 500 m2 at random; in two stands of Pinus maestrensis Bisse with a total surface of 4,7 ha. The damages to the natural regeneration in the categories of seedlings and saplings were determined those that diminished in a 44.7 and 51.4 %, respectively. Was calculated the wooden volume of the residuals left in the forest and also was evaluated the soil surface affected by the haulage during the extraction, that it was of 219, 67 m2 showing the surface soil removed and exposition of the lower horizons, aspect that classify it as very disturbed.
