description | The following work presents the results obtained by fire management applied in coniferous ecosystems, in the Agroforestry enterprise La Palma, Pinar del Río, Cuba with the purpose of looking for economic and versatile alternatives for forest resources management. Although in Cuba, prescribed burns have few antecedents, this practice is implemented in several countries as a support tool for its integral forestry management plans. Little attention is paid in Cuba to prescribed burns due to the scarce information available about its effects at medium and long terms in forest ecosystems. In this paper, some aspects of prescribed-burns influence such as: definition, application time, fire effects on fuel material, vegetation and superficial glide are analyzed. Results show that prescribed burns can represent a support alternative in integral forestry management because of the reduction of fuel materials and the risk of forest fires; also, they allow to mitigate forest fires effects on surface draining and contribute to pine ecosystems conservation. |

En este trabajo se exponen los resultados obtenidos de la aplicación y manejo del fuego en ecosistemas de coníferas en la Empresa Agroforestal La Palma, Pinar del Río, Cuba, con el propósito de buscar alternativas versátiles y económicas para su aplicación dentro del manejo de los recursos forestales. Aunque en Cuba las quemas prescritas tienen pocos antecedentes, esta práctica se lleva a cabo en varios países como una herramienta de apoyo a sus planes de manejo integral forestal. La poca atención que se da en Cuba al uso y manejo del fuego se debe a que existe poca información sobre sus efectos a mediano y a largo plazo en los ecosistemas forestales. En este trabajo se analizan algunos aspectos de la influencia de las quemas prescritas tales como: definición, época de aplicación, efectos del fuego sobre el material combustible, vegetación y escurrimiento superficial. Se encontró que las quemas prescritas pueden ser una alternativa de apoyo dentro del manejo integral forestal ya que reducen la carga del material combustible y el riesgo de ocurrencia de incendios forestales; además permiten mitigar el efecto de los incendios forestales sobre el escurrimiento superficial y contribuyen a la conservación de los ecosistemas de pinares.
