          Abstract

          El estudio se realizó en el ecotono estepa-bosque de Tierra del Fuego (Argentina), en una superficie de 1.400 ha de bosquetes de Nothofagus pumilio (lenga), con aprovechamientos forestales en más de un 90% de la superficie, iniciados hace más de una década. El sistema silvicultural practicado mayoritariamente fue de "cortas de protección" y, en algunos lugares, de "retención agregada". El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el estado de regeneración del bosque postaprovechamiento y su significancia en torno a las incipientes explotaciones forestales a desarrollarse en la región. Se estratificó la superficie en un SIG, de acuerdo a la intensidad de la intervención. De los muéstreos de campo se obtuvieron parámetros silvícolas y del entorno, con atención al estado y abundancia de la regeneración. Más de un 70% de la superficie se encontraba ramoneada por herbívoros, tanto guanacos como ganado doméstico, sin que se hayan podido discriminar los efectos de ambos. La distribución de la regeneración siguió un patrón agrupado en aquellos sitios protegidos por los residuos del aprovechamiento, siendo su dotación insuficiente para lograr la recuperación satisfactoria del dosel. El suelo del bosque intervenido ha sido completamente colonizado por herbáceas, especialmente gramíneas ajenas a la composición normal del sotobosque. El dosel protector actual resultó muy escaso y no cumple su función en la mayor parte de la superficie. Es poco probable que el bosque resultante de este aprovechamiento forestal vuelva a recuperarse y ser productivo, corriendo más de la mitad del área intervenida severos riesgos de degradación

          The study located in Tierra del Fuego, near the forest-steppe border, contains 1,400 hectares oí Nothofagus pumilio forest, harvested in more than 90% of the area, starting over ten years ago. Different alternatives of the shelterwood system method were applied in most of the area. The objective was to evaluate the regeneration of the forest and their significance for the future forest harvest in the ecotono area. The forest area was stratified in a GIS according to harvest intensity. Terrain survey plots were made in each category. Forest and environmental parameters were measured with emphasis in regeneration density and quality. Several problems related to regeneration density, quality and distribution were detected. In more than the 70% of the area, regeneration was completely browsed by herbivores. Presence of cattle and guanaco was detected though the effect of both herbivores was impossible to be distinguished. The regeneration layout followed a grouped pattern, located in sheltered places, protected by scarce harvesting waste. In most of the area, the recruitment of seedlings was insufficient for the complete recovery of the forest canopy. The harvested forest floor has been completely covered by exotic herbaceous plants, especially graminea. The forest canopy cover resulted scarce to fulfill its protecting function in most of the area. It is unlikely that the forest will recover the productive potential that it had before harvesting. Half of the harvested area is in risk of degradation into non forest successional stage
