You burn prescribed: an ecological alternative for the reduction of the combustible material in plantations of pine
Main Article Content
Abstract
The setting in practice of the integral concept inside the handling of forest resources, it has implied the search of alternative versatile and economic for their practical implementation. One of these they are the you burn prescribed that although in Cuba there are very few antecedents on the topic, this practice is implemented in several countries, like a support tool to its plans of forest integral handling, for that that the implementation of you burn them prescribed in Cuba attention it should be lent to know its effects to medium and I release term. In consequence the effect is analyzed of you burn prescribed and its influence in the existent combustible materials in pine forests, sustained in the subcuenca hidrográfica one, associated to the river San Diego, in Galalón, being obtained that the setting in practice of you burn prescribed they allow to reduce the load of the combustible material.
