CRUZ PEREZ, Yudemir; PINEIRO LUIS, Fabio Alberto; BERTOT SABADO, Ana Rita  and  CASTRO REYES, Jorge Carlos. Economic assessment of wood producing species surrounding «La Demajagua» national monument, Cuba. Rev cubana ciencias forestales [online]. 2019, vol.7, n.1, pp.145-161. ISSN 2310-3469.

The purpose of the work was to economically value the wood producing species surrounding the National Monument «La Demajagua» in Granma, Cuba; for which three stages of investigation were executed: the dasometric evaluation, classification of assortments and valorization of the masses. There were found a high number of trees per hectare and a forest in latizal stage, with diametric classes that denoted lack of silvicultural treatments. Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth and Cordia gerascanthus L. had the largest timber stocks, and Cedrela odorata L., Caesalpinia cubensis Greenm. and Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit the smallest stock; predominantly high coefficients in the preferred productions. Assortments of sawed timber were of greater perspective for the reimbursement of the investment, which could be maximized with the total felling of A. lebbeck, Albizia procera (Roxb.) Benth. and L. leucocephala, and thinning of C. odorata, C. gerascanthus, Swietenia macrophylla King. x Swietenia mahagoni L. Jacq. and C. cubensis.
