Abstract :
A phytosociological study of the forests from Sierra Maestra is conducted, following the methodology of the Zurich--Montpelier School. They are transformed into a forest typology using the standards of the Institute of AgroForestry Research. In general, 35 types and/or subtypes are presented. From this group, the most abundant ones belong to semi-deciduous microphyll forest, followed by those from mangroves and mountain rainforest, respectively. Silvicultural treatments are needed; among them, the protection forests are those found above 800 m asl and mangroves. Keywords: Forests; forest typology; Sierra Maestra; Eastern Cuba.

En general, se presentan 35 tipos y/o subtipos, de los cuales los mas abundantes pertenecen a los bosques semideciduos microfilos, siguiendole los manglares y la pluvisilva montana. Se precisan los tratamientos silvicolas, entre los cuales constituyen bosques de proteccion los que se encuentran por encima de los 800 m snm y los manglares.
