Análisis de captura de carbono en seis especies forestales nativas (3 esciofitas-3 heliofitas) plantadas con fines de restauración en el Parque Ecológico La Poma (PEP) - Sabana de Bogotá – Colombia

Abstract

There appear the results of the organic carbon determination to the different air components (leaves, branches, and shaft) and tubes (roots) evaluated forma six forestal species (Aliso, Cedro, Mano de Oso, Guayacán de Manizales, Roble, Encenillo) found in the Ecological Park “La Poma” ubicated in Soacha – Cundinamarca (PEP. N, 991854.50 – E, 977425.32). It was made a chemical analyses in samples of 100 g of dry matter for estimate the carbon contained, using the Walkley & Black’s methodology, finding significant differences species and individuals, being Guayacán de Manizales the one that presents with regard to its biomass the biggest carbon relation with up to 40 % as regards the sample. On the other hand, the species of slower growth as Roble, they invest most of the carbon absorbed in the shaft, more than 50 % destined to production lignified tissues. And a rapid growth species up to 30 % in the radicular system, looking about how to fulfill the water and nutrients demand.
