Use of Acacia auriculiformis fast-growing tree species for the mitigation of climate change

Background: In the face of increasing wood demand in climate change context, fast-growing species are considered as a current solution. However, ability agroforestry systems to contribute bridging gap between and supply mitigation also depends on properties species, which vary based locality. The objective this study was evaluate potential Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunningham ex Benth. Benin while sustainably supplying wood. Tissues proportion (Vessels, ray parenchyma, axial fibers), wood; fiber parameters (length, diameter lumen width); organic carbon content natural durability termite (Macrotermes bellicosus) were determined. Results: results indicate that has high fibers (58%), quite long (1 mm 4 mm), an 35%, is moderately durable very against infestations. Conclusion: thus, strong for (high content, length, greater durability), renewable bioenergy (good length) pulp content) could be valued supplement from forest mitigating effect (carbon sequestration limitation pressure forests).
