Comportamiento diferencial de las especies lafoensia acuminata y syzygium paniculatum en diversas densidades del paisaje urbano de Bogotá

Abstract

This research analyzed the carbon capture capacity of Lafoensia acuminata (Guayacán de Manizales) and Syzygium paniculatum (Eugenia) tree species, both of which are abundant, with the latter having been extensively planted in recent years in Bogotá. The study was conducted across the six distinct urban landscape zones or climatic areas of the city, as categorized by the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden of Bogotá. The aim was to provide a complementary analysis that highlights the importance of urban landscape diversity and climatic variability in urban tree planning. The research focused on measuring biomass and converting it to carbon terms, using a representative sample of individuals from each of Bogotá's climatic zones to ensure the validity of the results.
