Acumulación de carbono en plantaciones mixtas y puras en el trópico humedo
Proper design and management of plantations can increase biomass accumulation rates, making them more effective carbon sinks. We compared biomass production and carbon sequestration by three 6-year-old native tree plantations in pure and mixed-species plots in the Atlantic humid lowlands of Costa Rica. In Plantation 1, Vochysia guatemalensis had the highest levels of carbon accumulation (40.2 Mg C ha exponente -1) followed by Jacaranda copaia (40.1 Mg C ha exponente -1) and the four-species mixed stands (39.0 Mg C ha exponente -1). In Plantation 2, the mixed plantations and Dipteryx panamensis (19.9 and 19.57 Mg C ha exponente -1) had the highest carbon accumulation. In Plantation 3, Hyeronima alchorneoides had the highest values (15.8 Mg C ha exponente -1) followed by V. ferruginea (13.4 Mg C ha exponente -1) and the four-species mixture (11.4 Mg C ha exponente -1). The results suggest that several native tree species in the region have a potential for high carbon accumulation and that changing plantation design can increase the biomass accumulation rates of tree plantations.
