Objective:
In Portugal, traditionally, the maritime pine is the species exploited to obtain resin. The silvicultural models used assume timber as the main product and resin as the secondary product, this being a periodic and annual source of income for the owner. The description of silvicultural models that make timber and resin exploitation compatible is essential and should be based on knowledge.
Context:
The silvicultural model defines the set of operations to be carried out in the forest stand, from the installation to the felling of the trees, which, in the case of stands exploited for timber, coincides with obtaining the main product. In a stand managed simultaneously to obtain timber (main product) and resin (secondary product), it is necessary to know the effects that the practice of resin tapping has on tree growth and wood characteristics.
