Desarrollo de escenarios preliminares de crecimiento para plantaciones de Tectona grandis y Bombacopsis quinata en Costa Rica
Projects and private companies in Central America urgently need relevant information on the growth and productivity of priority species used in reforestation, such as Tectona grandis (teak) and Bombacopsis quinata (pochote). The main objective of this study is to develop preliminary forest management proposals for Tectona grandis and Bombacopsis quinata plantations to ensure high stand productivity. In the preliminary growth scenarios for teak, rotations periods between 25 and 28 years were evaluated, with final densities of 97 to 125 trees/ha, average diameters of 45 to 50 cm, and total average heights of 30 to 34 m. The productivity at the end of the rotation varies between 10.2 and 13.3 m3/ha/year, yielding a total volume of 270 to 380 m3/ha. For pochote plantations, scenarios were developed for rotation periods between 24 and 29 years, using final densities between 110 and 130 trees/ha. Expected results include trees with average diameters of 45 to 52 cm, and total average heights of 30 to 35 m, equivalent to a total volume of 220 to 331 m3/ha, and an annual productivity rate of 9.0 to 11.3 m3/ha/year.
