Abstract
A study of biomass in Pinus radiata D. Don with 42 years old was made, the trees were obtained of a stand placed between the cities of Santa Juana and Nacimiento, VIII Region, Chile. Three classes of top were differentiated in the stand: dominant, codominant and intermediate. The value of the mass for each component (wood, bark, branches, branchlets and needle) was obtained from each class of top; the wood resulted as the most important component in the total biomass of the tree (88.9%), then the bark (8.2%) and branches (1.5%). Obtained the values of biomass, the function of biomass for each component was obtained, related this values with the variables of the tree; the variables that showed greater correlation with the values of biomass by component and minors estimation errors are dbh (breast height diameter) and dbc (base of live crown diameter). Se realizó un estudio de biomasa en árboles de Pinus radiata D. Don de 42 años, obtenidos de un rodal ubicado entre las ciudades de Santa Juana y Nacimiento, VIII Región, Chile. El rodal se diferenció en tres clases de copa: dominante, codominante e intermedio. En cada clase de copa se obtuvieron valores de biomasa para cada componente (madera, corteza, ramas, ramillas y acículas); la madera resultó ser el componente que más aportó a la biomasa total sobre el suelo (88,9%), seguido de la corteza (8,2%) y ramas (1,5%). Con los valores de biomasa obtenidos, se ajustaron funciones de biomasa por componente, relacionando estos valores con variables del árbol; el dap (diámetro a la altura del pecho) y el dbc (diámetro en la base de la copa viva) fueron las variables que mostraron mayor correlación con los valores de biomasa por componente y menores errores de estimación.
