Forest typology

Forests are very important because of the great ecosystem services they provide to the planet in the form of carbon sequestration, production of oxygen released into the atmosphere, protection of watersheds, wood supply, shelter, food and sites for wildlife reproduction.The same is true in Cuba, where we have numerous forest vegetation formations of great importance, which is why it is necessary to inventory and systematically study them. For this purpose, our Island has a tradition in this discipline, considered a branch of Geobotany; since the times of the brothers Leon and Alain, passing through Samek and reaching the transfer of knowledge of the Ukrainian Tipology, who taught us so much.
