Abstract

The objective of the research work was to estimate the carbon stored in the forest plantations of the Mariano Dámaso Beraún district, and for this allometric equations were used, which allowed determining the biomass and this, in turn, the surface carbon; Soil organic carbon (SOC) was also estimated and the relationship between them was determined. The study was carried out in three 1.5-year-old forest plantations, located in the following altitudinal strata: 787 masl (Quesada), 1,153 masl (Chincamayo) and 1,455 masl (Corazón de Jesús), located in the Mariano Dámaso Beraún district. , Leoncio Prado Province, Huánuco Department. The established species were: Schizolobium amazonicum Huber ex Ducke (thorny pine), Licaria trianda (Swartz) Kostermans (canela moena), Inga edulis C. Martius (guaba), Swietenia macrophylla G. King (mahogany) and Juglans neotropica Diels (walnut). ; and as a result, the aerial biomass was 2.34 t / ha for the altitude of 787 masl, 1.77 t / ha for the altitude of 1,153 masl. and 1.63 t / ha for the altitude of 1,455 masl. .; therefore, the total carbon stored in the air was 1.17 t/ha for the altitude of 787 masl, 0.89 t/ha for the altitude of 1,153 masl. and 0.82 t/ha for the altitude of 1,455 masl. ; the total organic carbon content in the soil was 67.22 t/ha for the altitude of 787 masl, 68.77 t/ha for the altitude of 1,153 masl. and 90.09 t/ha for the altitude of 1,455 masl.; and according to the Pearson correlation, it indicates that there is no statistically significant relationship between the total carbon content in the air with the organic carbon of the soil in the district under study.
