Abstract
Sustainable forest management is essential to ensure the conservation of forest resources and their contribution to economic and environmental development. This study aimed to develop a sustainable silvicultural management plan for the forest assets of the Lázaro Peña González Agricultural Production Cooperative (CPA) in Cuba for the period 2019-2023. A forest inventory was conducted on 341.5 hectares, using standardized methodologies and specialized software (SIFOMAP 4.2) for land-use classification, division into lots and stands, and dasometric assessment. Thirty-six tree species were identified, of which 13 were classified as timber of economic interest. The results showed that the natural forest presented a high degree of anthropization, with predominantly incomplete stands (less than 750 trees/ha of economic species), indicating the need for silvicultural interventions. Improvement fellings and intensive and moderate enrichment measures were proposed, using species such as Cedrela odorata, Swietenia macrophylla, and Guarea guidonia, as well as the densely spaced group technique to rehabilitate degraded stands. The management plan covered 80% of the forest area, prioritizing sustainability and improving forest structure. It was concluded that these actions will contribute to the economic rehabilitation of the forest and its multi-age management, ensuring its conservation and sustainable use.
