Description Social demands related to native forest ecosystems are based on an efficient management, with a balance between conservation and timber production. This paper describes the industry adaptation to a biodiversity program with an alternative regeneration method. The proposed method leaves 30% of the timber-quality forest as aggregated retention and 15 m² ha-1 basal area as dispersed retention. While many costs increased considerably, the incomes also may increase by applying new management strategies and technology innovation. A monitoring program was established in the harvested stands to evaluate the ecological functionality of the applied regeneration system (forest structure, climate change, regeneration dynamics, habitat quality and abiotic cycles). The implementation of an innovated technology and monitoring program in the forest and industry determined a balance between economic values and biodiversity conservation.
Las demandas sociales relacionadas con los ecosistemas forestales se basan en una gestión eficiente, con un equilibrio entre la conservación y la producción de madera. El siguiente trabajo describe la adaptación de la industria a un programa de biodiversidad con un método alternativo de regeneración. El método propuesto mantiene un 30% del bosque de calidad maderera como una retención agregada y un área basal de 15 m² ha-1 Como una retención dispersa. Mientras muchos de los costos aumentan considerablemente, los ingresos también aumentan mediante la aplicación de las nuevas estrategias de gestión y de las tecnologías de innovación. Un programa de monitoreo se estableció en la cosecha para evaluar la funcionalidad ecológica del sistema de regeneración aplicado (estructura del bosque, cambio climático, dinámica de regeneración, calidad del hábitat y ciclos abióticos). La implementación de una tecnología de innovación y un programa de monitoreo en el bosque y la industria determinan un equilibrio entre los valores económicos y la conservación de la biodiversidad.
