Abstract
The present paper forms part of the Project Goods and Environmental Services derived from Pine Plantation Management, belonging to the Program Entitled Preservation of the Natural Resources, addressed by the Ministry of the Agriculture. The results of the influence of the thinning I and II in the hydrological regime, made after 15 years of having reforested a small catchment previously whole cutting, compared with an adjacent (witness) one, located at the Alturas de Pizarras, are given. The obtained goods were determined calculating the wooden total volume and the services from the daily determinations of the flow based on the formula of Tompson, then the volume and the hydrological indexes in the small catchment studied, were calculated. The central objective of the present paper consists on revealing the alterations of some hydrological indexes caused by the thinning in small catchment covered by pine plantation and the economic environmental impact that it is generated.
