Se estimó el contenido de carbono en las áreas de conservación de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. Se realizó un inventario forestal de 80 sitios de muestreo, midiendo la altura y diámetro de los árboles y arbustos. El bosque de pino-encino en Iturbide resultó con el valor más alto, con 53.52 ton/ha; seguido por el matorral submontano de Monterrey, con 24.60 ton/ha, y el matorral espinoso tamaulipeco de Linares y Marín, con 20.16 y 15.84 ton/ha, respectivamente. En total se tienen almacenadas 73,441.56 toneladas de carbono que equivalen a 269,530.52 toneladas de CO₂e.
Abstract
The carbon content in the conservation areas of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León was estimated. A forest inventory of 80 sampling sites was established, measuring the height and diameter of trees and shrubs. The pine-oak forest in Iturbide has the highest value of carbon content with 53.52 ton/ha, followed by the submontane scrub of Monterrey with 24.60 ton/ha and the Tamaulipan thornscrub of Linares and Marín, with 20.16 and 15.84 ton/ha, respectively. In total, 73,441.56 tons of carbon are stocked, which is equivalent to 269,530.52 tons of CO₂e.
