Abstract
Una de las consecuencias de las transformaciones de la propiedad de la tierra en España, durante el siglo XIX, fue la constitución de un extenso patrimonio forestal público (6,6 millones de hectáreas), que pasó a depender de la administración central y que se conserva hoy casi en su totalidad. En este artículo se ofrece una visión de conjunto de las producciones y de la gestión de los montes públicos. La intervención del Estado se ha dividido en cuatro etapas y, considerando los resultados más que los objetivos iniciales, destacan dos conclusiones. Primera: por sus características, los montes públicos no eran adecuados para que los gobiernos los utilizaran con el fin de dirigir el rumbo de la economía forestal nacional. Segunda: la administración central aplicó, no una, sino varias políticas forestales, atendiendo a los cambios en los mercados y a las diferentes circunstancias económicas, sociales y ecológicas de las comarcas donde se encontraban los montes.
One of the consequences of transformations in Spanish land properties in the 19th century was the constitution of an extensive (6.6 million hectares) public forest patrimony —still kept— dependent on the Central Administration. In this article, an overview of the main features, as well as the management and production forms of such a patrimony, is presented. State intervention is divided into four stages and, considering their results rather than their initial goals, two main conclusions are reached. First, given their characteristics, public forests were not adequate for the government to be able to lead this part of the forest national economy. Second, the central administration applied not one but several public forest policies, according to changes in the markets and to the economic situation, and social and ecological conditions where forests were found.
