Carbon stocks and fluxes in reforestated sites of Durango, Mexico

Abstract: In this research, we present predictions of carbon sequestration by pines growing in reforested sites of Durango, Mexico. Four methodologies to predict carbon stocks in standing aboveground biomass were tested. Two models at the whole stand scale and two hybrid models between whole stand, stand class, and individual trees were fitted. A chronosequence of 23 small-scale reforested sites and stem analysis conducted on 60 trees were used to fit model parameters and estimate goodness of fit statistics. A stand cla… Show more

“…The diametric structure in all four altitudinal gradients shows an inverted J or Liocurt curve which corresponds to irregular growth, indicating a forest that is undergoing regeneration and changes in the mature individuals [66][67][68][69]. This same trend is observed in structure by genus (Tables 7 and 8) in all diameters below 60 cm.…”

“…Reforestation and afforestation are also strategies utilized to sequester C, especially when using genotypes that are fully adapted to the region and are tolerant to, or repel, pest insects. Also, mixed stands reduce the risk of pathogens and pests when compared to monocultures [66]. A commonly utilized practice is pre-commercial thinning, which redistributes C among the different pools of biomass in soil, increasing the capacity of C capture in the long-term while reducing competition of trees for water, light, and nutrients [79].…”

“…In some cases, the control of the regeneration of managed forests may involve the reduction of, or changes in, the diversity of tree species, along with the simplification of stand structures where the regeneration and growth of commercial timber species are promoted. For example, studies of the temperate forests of northern Mexico have documented changes in species composition and stand structures as a result of long periods of forest management [24,25]. Likewise, under the extensive system, the regeneration of the new stands in harvested areas is also through reforestation.…”

“…En México se han realizado diversos estudios que contemplan la estimación de volumen, biomasa y captura de carbono (Contreras y Návar, 2002;Corral et al, 1999;Jaramillo et al, 2003;Návar et al, 2005;Návar, 2009); por ejemplo, Pimienta et al (2007) estimaron el contenido de biomasa y carbono de Pinus cooperi en Durango; así mismo, Nájera y Hernández ( 2009) determinaron la acumulación de biomasa en una localidad de Durango; sin embargo, estas investigaciones son específicas para algunas localidades y aún existen muchas áreas sin evaluar. Por lo anterior, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo estimar el volumen, biomasa y contenido de carbono de especies arbóreas en un bosque templado del noroeste de México, ya que esta información es de gran importancia para la cuantificación del dióxido de carbono.…”
