Objective: to establishment of socioeconomic strategies to promote the sustainable forestry development of the ejido Tetahuichi, Guachochi, Chihuahua, Mexico. Methodology: variables were studied. The interview was a technique to get information and the questionnaire as an instrument. The sampling was simple random taking into account the ejidatarios as the sampling unit. A socioeconomic diagnosis was carried out to know the existing problems and potentialities of the ejido, at the same time, areas of opportunity were identified to promote the socioeconomic development of the ejido. Results: Socio-economic strategies were established to strengthen the sustainable forestry development of the ejido in the different areas of opportunity identified. This was taking into account the participation of its inhabitants, economic and social aspects, the needs and interests of those involved in the community forestry development of the ejido, as well as political-institutional and legal aspects related to the environment and sustainable development. Limitations: the research did not include the environmental dimension, in addition, little organizational and administrative knowledge of the ejidatarios was identified. Conclusions: The ejido has sufficient natural and forest resources, as well as personnel to be competitive and to generate well-being for the population, and to conserve the forest ecosystem.

In this research paper, information is presented on the dasometric features of standing volume, diameter, top height, tree density, diameter distributions, tree and stand productivity, aboveground biomass, carbon in aboveground biomass and the tree biological diversity of temperate forests of the state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico. This information was derived from 63 inventoried sites within the framework of the forest inventory of 2004-2006. It is concluded that temperate forests are in juvenile state with diameter distributions skewed to the right, with low tree density, low densities of standing volume, biomass and carbon stocks. Tree productivity is also small since it does not surpass on the average 0,36 cm y-1. Tree diversity at the site scale is also small since less than four species are found on the average on these sites. There was statistical evidence that productivity is related to tree diversity and structural diversity in a positive and linear manner. Therefore, there is a great potential to sustainably manage these forests for a wide range of goods and services. It is recommended a light management for goods for 15 years and to carry on the appropriate silvicultural practices to enhance tree diversity as well as structural diversity to increase productivity.

The Cuban forests have suffered an indiscriminate exploitation in the past. In spite of the efforts carried out with the reforestation plans and the establishment of plantations, the structure for ages of these plantations are unbalanced. It is difficult to make a stable flow of goods and services. In this paper the evolution of a model of forest planning based on multiple approaches is presented. It was applied to a plantation of Pinus caribaea of the Integral Forest Enterprice of "Pinar del Río" in Cuba, with the main goal of achieving a balanced structure of ages at the end of the planning horizon in order to guarantee a stability in the flow of goods and services taking into account the area restrictions and the general amount and management. The model goes from a Linear Lexicographical Goal Programming Model to a Linear Fractional Goal Programming Model. Their objectives have been in progress in the attainment of a structure of ages in balance until the stabilization of the net carbon fixed by the plantation. It is one of the functions of the forests like possible regulators of the climate. The models I and II detailed can be consulted in the references. In these work we will refer to the main proposed objectives and the results obtained in each of them and we will formalize the third modelización that includes the captured carbon.
