The management plans presently being carried out are, in the majority, a forest exploitation
done with as if it were a management plan. This work was carried out in order to help differentiate these
two types of exploitations. It was aimed at verifying the sustainability of the Cerrado management plan
carried out on Santa Cecília farm, in the municipality of João Pinheiro, in the State of Minas Gerais,
Brazil, through the structural analysis of the vegetation, identifying some of its impacts in relation to
a non exploited cerrado area. The evaluation was made by plots that were established in the explored
area in 1994/95 and in the non explored area. The results of the horizontal structure analysis showed
that there were significant differences in the absolute density and the total volume and absolute dominance
between the areas studied. The results of diametric structure showed a significant difference for the density
distribution and between the basal area and total volume. These results indicate that the exploration
was done beyond the limits that could allow the recovery of the vegetation for a new harvest at the end
of rotation cycle.
