Abstract

This present investigation aims to characterize dimensionally the forest San Vicente de la Curia Diocesana de Riobamba, located in San Isidro parish, Guano canton, Chimborazo province. According to the planimeter mapping, the farm has 52.23 of area where a forest zoning was carried out and it was divided in 5 zones. The first was composed by 5 blocks of plantations of Pinus radiata (Pine), one block of Cupressus macrocarpa (Cypress), two blocks of Eucauptus globulus, (Eucalyptus), one conservation zone composed by native and exotic species, resourceful zone. We had five blocks of Pinus radiate (Pine), and one block of Cupressus macrocarpa (Cypress). Each one of these ones has different extension located on different points of the farm. They characterize by being contemporary with irregular diameters and heights and by owning 8 years of age with medium diameters of 16 cm and heights average of 12.53m with a total of volume average of 115.67 m3. In order to have an inventory of the most interesting ecological species we gathered herbal, bush and tree vegetation species in the points in the farm conservation zone. This is located on x: 754901 y: 9828570. In this place we could observe that there are 18 individuals belonging to 14 families, 18 genres and 18 species but the most frequent was Asteraceae family with 4 individuals as Bacharis latifolia, Bidens andicola, Achyrocline alata, Ageratina sp. It is concluded that the inventory took into account Pinus radiata (Pine) area which has 1644.58 m3 of wood distributed in 5 blocks and (Cupressus macrocarpa) Cipryess area which has a volume of 34.029 m3 of Wood.
