ESTIMACIÓN E INVENTARIO DE BIOMASA Y CARBONO DEL BAMBÚ NATIVO Guadua aculeata Rupr. EN PUEBLA, MÉXICO

<p><strong>Background</strong><strong>.</strong> Bamboo forests are an alternative to mitigate the effects of climate change, doe high growth rate, however, in Mexico there few studies on its biomass and carbon storage. <strong>Objective.</strong> Estimate inventory stored stands <em>G. aculeata</em> Rupr. forest management unit numbered 2103, Puebla, Mexico. <strong>Methodology</strong>. The necreomass were sampled through square sites 100 m<sup>2</sup>, normal diameter at 1.30 m all culms present each site was measured, litter 1 m<sup>2</sup> weighed samples taken determine content culm, branches, leaves, roots, litter. An analysis variance a Tukey’s means comparison test carried out. <strong>Results</strong>. It determined that dry base total average 308.05 ± 10.13 Mg ha<sup>-1</sup>, which 139.09 6.81 ha<sup>-1</sup> correspond carbon; study area 19,714.91 61.87 t 8,901.63 435.78 estimated. Fixed 46 0.4%, 44 42± 0.2%, 42 0.5% 38 1.0% for culms, foliage, litter, respectively; being different culm branches with found root, <strong>Implications.</strong> Although contribution foliage low, these most dynamic structural components represent photosynthetic machinery production. <strong>Conclusions</strong>. natural have like tree species, so it is advisable conserve them establish plantations allow sustained capture over time.<strong></strong></p>
