CASIANO-DOMINGUEZ, Marcos et al. The carbon of the aerial biomass measured in chronosquences: First estimation in Mexico. Madera bosques [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.spe, e2401894. ISSN 2448-7597.  https://doi.org/10.21829/myb.2018.2401894.

The negotiation of carbon capture projects under REDD+ and CDM mechanisms carried out in the different land and vegetation uses requires knowing the storage capacity (capture) that ecosystems have under current conditions and the approximate maximum level they can reach in the future. Because of this, the temporal variations of the different compartments (aerial biomass, standing woody material, litter-mulch-fallen woody material, underground biomass and soil) as they can contribute as CO2 sinks must be studied. The purpose of this work is to collect, review and synthesize the information available in Mexico about the carbon contents studied in a chronosequences approach. Results of the carbon contents of aerial biomass were found only for 21 types of vegetation of 50 represented in Mexico. The information on the temporal variations in the five carbon stores, can be used as reference to establish buying-selling commitments of carbon bonds in terms of amount and time in which mitigation and adaptation to climate change goals are met.
