Prediction of profitable crown biomass’s of Pinus caribaea for m3 of shaft’s wood
Main Article Content
Abstract
The investigation was executed from January to October of 2017 in plantations of Pinus caribaea var. caribaea, existent in the municipalities of Viñales, Guane, La Palma and Minas de Matahambre, in the county of Pinar del Rìo, Cuba. The objectives were: the definition of foliage crown and branches crown biomass’s half potential, profitable for m3 of shaft’s wood, extracted of the forest daily, for the obtaining of alcoholic extract with biological activity and as energy payee, respectively; and the design of one technology, for the use of this biomass The results showed that for each m3 of gathered wood’s shaft, a profitable crown biomass of 87.0 kg was reached; 54.7 kg of fasiculares bundle’s biomass and 42.5 kg of aciculums. The designed technology is adapted for the biomass use and later transportation to the industry, chord with the current level of Agroforestry Companies’s mechanization in territory object of the study.
