| description | The aim in this research was to evaluate survival and growth of a Pinus greggii plantation established since 2003, in a site (2.1 ha) with degraded soil and scarce precipitation. In particular, site soil characteristics and its influence on the development of the plantation were assessed. Vegetation coverage, natural regeneration and fuel load were also recorded. For this, nine circular sampling plots (1/10 ha) were measured in three random blocks according to the slope. Average survival was 91%, with better percentages in the middle and lower blocks of the plantation. Height, diameter and volume showed significant differences among blocks and subsites; larger values and increments were recorded in trees of the lower sites which are more fertile. In average, height was 9.4 m, diameter 14.4 cm and volume 60.2 m3 rta ha-1. In the upper portions of the land the lower vegetation cover was found (9.6 % of the soil), favoring the natural regeneration of plants typical in sites with high luminosity, like agaves, registering an average of 400 individuals per hectare. With respect to fuel material, this was found only in the inferior and middle subsites, the most abundant being the material with more than 5 cm in diameter (69.2 kg ha-1). Since this fuel is dispersed all around, it does not represent a threat of fire to the plantation. It is recommended to perform pre thinning and pruning to reduce competition among trees and incorporate organic matter to the soil in order to improve its conditions. These actions will reduce competition and increase the wood quality, as well as improve the edaphic conditions of the site by incorporating the plant material into the soil. |

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la supervivencia y crecimiento de una plantación de Pinus greggii establecida en 2003 en un terreno (2.1 ha) con suelo degradado y escasa precipitación. En especial se evaluó el efecto de las características edafológicas del sitio en el crecimiento de la plantación. Se registraron también la cobertura, la regeneración natural y el material combustible. Para esto, se establecieron 9 sitios circulares de 1/10 ha, en tres bloques de acuerdo a la pendiente del terreno. La supervivencia promedio fue de 91%, con mejores porcentajes en los bloques medio e inferior de la parcela. La altura, diámetro y volumen arrojaron diferencias significativas entre los sitios y bloques, los mayores valores e incrementos se registraron en los árboles de los sitios inferiores del terreno que muestran mayor fertilidad. En promedio la altura fue de 9.4 m, el diámetro de 14.4 cm y el volumen 60.2 m3 r.t.a. ha-1 (metro cúbico de madera en rollo total del árbol en una superficie de 1 ha). En las partes altas del terreno se registró la menor cobertura vegetal (9.6% del suelo), favoreciendo con esto la presencia de elementos vegetales propios de sitios con alta luminosidad, como los magueyes, registrándose en promedio 400 individuos por hectárea. Respecto al material combustible, solo se registró en los sitios inferiores y medios, siendo la biomasa combustible ≥ 5 cm de diámetro la de mayor cantidad (69.2 kg ha-1). Dado que este material se encuentra disperso, no pone en riesgo de incendios a la plantación. Se recomienda realizar preaclareos y podas en los árboles que quedaran hasta el final del turno. Estas acciones reducirán la competencia y aumentaran la calidad de la madera, además de mejorar las condiciones edáficas del sitio mediante la incorporación del material vegetal al suelo.
