Eficient age of harvest for obtention of more woods products in Pinus caribaea plantations of Viñales’s Forest Enterprise
Main Article Content
Abstract
This project is all about the determination of increase in volume and diameter based on the qualities and indices of sites of the Pinus caribaea plantations in forest enterprise Viñales. In this case, the principal dendrometric and dasometric indicators of the same plantations are being calculated, some regression models which were previously made, were employed for the estimation of the diameters, basal area, volume and the number of trees per hectare .A comparison is being made for the wood volumes which were obtained in ages such as 21,31,35 and 44 years. Based on the volume data and some economic evaluation, it is being argued that the harvest time of 21 years, which is the one applied in Cuba, is not adequate since it leads to loss of volume and money. Based on the same analysis, it is being demonstrated that the harvest time which is more efficient is that of 31 years, and at the same time, it is being argued that the harvest time should not be prolonged up to more than 31 years.
