Abstract
The starting point of this work has been the accomplishment of a forest inventory in stands of the most abundant autochthonous species of the kind Quercus in the Peninsular Northwest (Quercus robur L., Q. pyrenaica Willd. and Q. petraea (Matts.) Liebl.). With the obtained information, have been calculated the ecological and silvicultural parameters needed to characterize ecologically the forest station and also describe, from the stand point of forestry, such stands so that it is possible to know the potential of the different locations for obtaining of suitable wood for aging wine, allowing even know in advance whether or not perform silvicultural activities to achieve that objective. On the other hand, the information xilology (wood physical parameters, such as the proportion of bark, sapwood and heartwood, density, porosity and grain of the wood) obtained from different samples from trees felled in the stands inventoried, will allow us to value the suitability of the wood for the production of barrels of species studied.
