Situation: At the western end and on the southern slopes of the Cordillera de Dipilto, which forms the northern boundary of Nicaragua at this point. The stands, which lie about 5 kms north of Macuelizo and 8 kms west of Dipilto, form part of an area of about 150,000 hectares of generally open pine forest which stretches more than 70 kms roughly east-west along the cordillera and extends northwards to the pine forests of Honduras. Rainfall increases progressively eastwards and in this direction the lower slopes below 800 metres elevation are increasingly occupied by P. caribaea and the higher slopes above 1,500 metres by P. pseudostrobus and broadleaf forest. At the western end, in the Macuelizo area, the lower slopes and valleys support only a dry thorn scrub and the only pine species is P. oocarpa which in fact forms most of the pine forest throughout the cordillera.

Soil: Very freely-draining sandy or gravelly soil with abundant quartz, derived in situ from decaying granitic rocks, outcropping extensively on the steeper slopes and ridges. Erosion is active. The soils are generally very shallow, except in hollows or valleys, and have very little humus content. pH 5.7.

Climate: Mean annual rainfall at Macuelizo (5 km S) is 904 mm (35 ins) with the following distribution:-

No temperature data are available from Macuelizo but at Ocotal, about 20 kms east and 400 metres below the level of E1 Junquillo mean monthly maximum temperatures in the dry season range from 28°C to 32°C.

Description of stand: Very open pine forest on steep slopes (20° to 35°) with only thin grass cover including Andropogon sp. and Pennisetum sp. A few Quercus sp. occur in some moister valleys. The largest pines are over 30 metres (100 ft) high and up to 80 cms d.b.h. Pine regeneration is generally sparse although good in patches and the area shows evidence of frequent fierce fires over a long period of years. Growth rings are confused and difficult to interpret but growth appears to be slow, with 3 to 5 rings per cm.

Methods of collection: From selected trees in felling sites (36 trees)

Date of collection: January, 1971.
