Diseño de guía para alternativa de valuación de áreas boscosas bajo el esquema de captura de carbono y aplicación de ejemplos en predios en la Calera y Facatativá, Cundinamarca

Abstract

This project of graduation is done as an alternative to wooded areas evaluation in rural lands in Colombia, here we show the design of the methodological guide for the appraisal of forestry areas based on carbon capture scheme, this displays the steps and procedures that must be followed in order to find the amount of aerial biomass, the capture of carbon and the equivalent CO2 that the forestry area contains, to later value it under the carbon credits that this equivalence represents; afterwards two practical examples of the application of the methodological guide design are made in lands located in the department of Cundinamarca, as main supply for the analysis of conserved wooded areas and its potential as a differentiator in appraisals, assuming that the greater the number of trees per hectare, that is, the greater the conservation of the forest, the greater the economic valuation of these areas.
