Caracterización, evaluación y simulación de parámetros dendrométricos en plantación de teca, Tectona Grandis L.F. en el municipio de arboletes, Antioquia

Abstract

The forestry sector in Colombia contributes 5.5% of agricultural GDP, derived from this are plantations with commercial purposes, according to the zoning study of the UPRA there are about 7,258,000 hectares with high aptitude for commercial reforestation in the Colombian territory (UPRA.2015). Teca, Tectona gradis L.f .; in Colombia there is a total of 49,914.24 hectares of Teca, with a greater presence in the department of Antioquia with 18,499.34 ha, hence the importance of strengthening and increasing plantations to boost the productive growth of these regions. An example of this is the Teca plantation located in the independent company JAEM COLOMBIA SAS in the municipality of Arboletes in the department of Antioquia, which has an average rainfall of 1600 mm per year and has an average temperature of 28 °, where it was evaluated the state of the plantation for each of the planting stands (14, 12, 11, 10 and 9 years), from the establishment of 99 permanent monitoring plots, in which dasometric variables were taken with the help of FIELD technology -MAP, which allowed to characterize and evaluate the state of the plantation for later with the analyzed variables to perform the simulation of their behavior to provide tools that allow to comply with a good management of the plantation
