Structure and composition of the pine forest vegetation in Alturas de Pizarra in the Minas Agroforestal Enterprise, Cuba

This study was conducted in Alturas de Pizarra in the Minas Agroforestry Enterprise, in Cuba, in order to determine its composition and structure of the pine forest vegetation for future management. Two areas were selected: one corresponding to Pinus caribaea and the other to Pinus tropicalis. In ea...
