Estimación del Valor en Pie de Diez (10) especies maderables para la zona de Antioquia, Colombia.

Abstract

In this degree project, a table of estimated standing values of ten (10) timber species marketed in the department of Antioquia was prepared, based on information collected in the field and on the internet from sawmills, timber marketing companies and regulatory agencies. Throughout the document, the species under study will be presented, highlighting the physical characteristics, uses and quality of the wood. Subsequently, the information collected from sawmills and timber traders will be presented, and statistics will be used to calculate the value of the standing tree of each species. It is important to note that the calculations of the value of the standing tree are purely associated with the costs of timber harvesting (financial values), and do not take into consideration environmental costs or factors.
