Carbon Stored in the Arboreal Stratum of Livestock and Natural Systems of the Municipality of Albania, Caquetá, Colombia

The aim of this study was to calculate the carbon storage capacity in the arboreal stratum of five land uses, both in livestock systems as natural: a) traditional pastures with scattered trees in low-density (PT), b) improved pastures with scattered trees in low-density (PM), c) silvopastoral system...

description The aim of this study was to calculate the carbon storage capacity in the arboreal stratum of five land uses, both in livestock systems as natural: a) traditional pastures with scattered trees in low-density (PT), b) improved pastures with scattered trees in low-density (PM), c) silvopastoral systems in high-density (SSP), d) native forest (Bo) and e) natural regeneration (RN). Three replicates for land use were performed and recorded each tree within the floristic inventory; for PT, PM and SSP plots of 1000 m2 were made, for Bo plots of 2000 m2 and for natural regeneration plots of 1000 m2 for identification of seedlings, saplings and poles. Data were examined using analysis of variance and compared by the DGC test to a significance level of 95 %. The forest showed significant differences with values of 249.035 Mg ha-1 in biomass and carbon 124.517 Mg ha-1 with respect to other land uses; the variable diameter to the breast height (DBH) revealed significant differences (p<0.05), where natural regeneration obtained the lowest DBH while native forest the highest with 4.93 and 18.52 cm, respectively. The number of individuals (tree ha-1) was not significantly different between native forest (525) and natural regeneration (930), but these two showed significant differences as regard to agroecosystems of pastures, with values of 17, 47 and 207 individuals ha-1 for PM, PT and SSP respectively. In conclusion, it was noted that coverage with the highest capacity for biomass production and carbon storage was the forest and the lowest were improved pastures with Brachiaria sp species, in addition, the highest density of trees arose in the coverage of natural regeneration, which have a high potential for increasing carbon sequestration capacity.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue estimar la capacidad de almacenamiento de carbono en el componente arbóreo de cinco usos de suelo tanto en sistemas ganaderos como naturales: a) pasturas tradicionales con árboles dispersos en baja densidad (PT), b) pasturas mejoradas con árboles dispersos en baja densidad (PM), c) sistemas silvopastoriles en alta densidad (SSP), d) bosque (Bo) y e) regeneración natural (RN). Se realizaron tres repeticiones por cada uso del suelo y se registró cada árbol dentro del inventario florístico; para PT, PM y SSP se hicieron parcelas de 1000 m2; para Bo, parcelas de 2000 m2, y para RN, parcelas de 1000 m2 para identificación de fustales, latizales y brinzales. Los datos fueron examinados mediante análisis de varianza y comparados mediante la prueba DGC con un nivel de significación del 95 %. El bosque presentó diferencias significativas con valores de 249,04 Mg ha-1 en biomasa y 124,52 Mg ha-1 en carbono, respecto a los demás usos del suelo; la variable diámetro a la altura del pecho (DAP) mostró diferencias significativas (p<0,05), donde la RN obtuvo los DAP más bajos y Bo los más altos con 4,93 y 18,52 cm, respectivamente. El número de individuos (árboles ha.1) no fue notablemente diferente entre Bo (525) y RN (930), pero estos dos mostraron diferencias considerables respecto a los tres agroecosistemas de pasturas, con valores de 17, 47 y 207 individuos ha-1 para PM, PT y SSP respectivamente. En conclusión, se observó que la cobertura con mayor capacidad de producción de biomasa y almacenamiento de carbono fue el bosque y la de menor fueron las pasturas mejoradas con especies de Brachiaria sp.; asimismo, la mayor densidad de árboles se presentó en las coberturas de regeneración natural, que tienen un alto potencial para el incremento de la capacidad de captura de carbono.
