ABSTRACT
The present research studied the effect of thinning intensity on the average and dominant height growth on a population of Pinus elliotti E., submitted to 4 thinning treatments: 25, 50 e 75% of the witness basal area, and the witness with to thinning. The results obtained allow us to conclude the thinning intensity has an influence on the average height growth of Pinus elliotti E. however, it has no influence on the dominant height growth of this specie.
