| description | 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 each area, 30 circular plots of 15 m radius were established. Three strata were considered in the vegetation in order to quantify the species present and conduct the corresponding analyses. Alpha and beta diversity values were determined, the horizontal structure was evaluated by calculating the index of ecological importance and distribution by diametric classes. The vertical structure was described through the richness of species in each stratum as well as its sociological position. The two pine forests contained 36 families, 47 genera and 61 species of plants, with 42 species in Pinus caribaea area and 36 in the Pinus tropicalis area. Differences were observed in the composition of the accompanying vegetation in their strata. Pinus caribaea attained an importance value of 205.96 and Pinus tropicalis attained 175.59, relative abundance and relative frequency were the parameters that most influenced the index of ecological importance. Plots, according to the composition of species, were divided into groups of four, differing in altitude, tree height, basal area and number of dead trees found in each. By specifying some of the parameters of this vegetation type in Cuba, the results obtained in this study constitute a reference for the management of these pine groves. |

Esta investigación fue realizada en pinares en Alturas de Pizarra de la Empresa Agroforestal Minas, con el objetivo de determinar la estructura y composición de estos pinares, para el manejo de los mismos. Se seleccionaron dos áreas; en cada área fueron establecidas 30 parcelas circulares de 15 metros de radio; se consideraron tres estratos en la vegetación para cuantificar las especies presentes y hacer los análisis correspondientes. Se calculó la diversidad alfa y beta, se evaluó la estructura horizontal mediante el índice de importancia ecológica y la distribución por clases diamétricas, se describió la estructura vertical a través de la riqueza de especies en cada estrato, así como su posición sociológica. En ambos pinares se identificaron en total 36 familias, 47 géneros y 61 especies de plantas, 42 especies en el área de Pinus caribaea y 36 especies en el área de Pinus tropicalis, observándose diferencias en cuanto a la composición de la vegetación acompañante en sus estratos. Las especies que mayor valor de importancia ecológica alcanzaron en las áreas estudiadas fueron Pinus caribaea con 205.96 y Pinus tropicalis con 175.59, siendo la abundancia y la frecuencia relativas los parámetros que más influyeron. Las parcelas, según la composición de especies, se agruparon en cuatro grupos diferenciándose por la altitud, altura de los árboles, el área basal y la abundancia de árboles muertos presentes en las mismas. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio, al precisar en algunos de los parámetros de esta formación vegetal en Cuba, constituyen un referente el manejo de estos pinares.
