“…In a complementary way, several methods have been proposed to assess the ability of carbon sequestration of forest ecosystems, in order to evaluate this environmental service with reliable procedures and cost efficient benefits (Husch et al, 2003;Ravindranath and Ostwald, 2007;Van Laar and Akca, 2007;Ho over, 2008;Bigsby, 2009;Pretzsch, 2009). In this context, Mexico has implemented several assessment methods for estimating biomass and carbon in different forest ecosystems (De Jong et al, 1995;Ordóñez et al, 2001;Acosta-Mireles et al, 2 0 02 ;Pepper et al , 2007;Rodríguez-Laguna et al , 2008;Balderrama et al, 2008;Domínguez-Cabrera et al, 2009;Návar, 2009;Figueroa-Navarro et al, 2010).…”
