ESTRUCTURA Y EVOLUCIÓN DE DOS MASAS MIXTAS DE FRONDOSAS PROCEDENTES DE UN ANTIGUO MONTE ADEHESADO

The presence of an important number of deciduous Central European species in Hayedo de Montejo makes it to be considered a singular place in Madrid. Past traditional practices conditioned the present characteristics of this forest. Two mixed deciduous stands were chosen for its study, both formed by a stratum of old-growth trees and another made up of poles. A vegetation inventory was made around twenty old-growth trees. The influence in the structure and evolution of the stand composed by poles was studied. The species of old-growth tree and the distance were relevant on the structure of the stand grown around them.
