- Carbon stocks and fluxes in reforestated sites of Durango, Mexico Nicolás González José Graciano José de Jesús Návar Cháidez Agrociencias Small cooperii engelmanii durangensis Western Sierra Madre 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 class model produced a better fit to measure carbon stocks in aboveground standing biomass. Reforested sites with native pine species are sequestering carbon at differential rates partially explained by density, species, micro site, climate and age of pines. Society is benefiting from the environmental services provided by carbon sequestration and conservation of native coniferous forests. 2005 artículo científico 1405-0471 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=61711202 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=617 Madera y Bosques application/pdf Instituto de Ecología, A.C.
