ESTIMATED BIOMASS CONTENT, CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES,IN A FOREST AREA IN THE SHELTER PRIMARY INDIAN PIAPOCO CHIGÜIRO-CHÁTARE, BARRANCOMINAS, GUAINIA DEPARTMENT (COLOMBIA).

In Barrancominas (Guainía) different cultural forms of work and production of the Piapoco community, includes the slash and burn of forest along the river, to extend the farming, establishment of illicit crops and pastures contribute to increase carbon concentrations in the atmosphere which in turn affect global climate change. Thus this study wanted to value the biomass content, carbon fixation and ecosystem services in an area of primary forest in the indigenous community of Chigüiro-Chátare using a nondestructive method or indirect. In this study the aerial biomass was estimated as well as the carbon (C) content of the arboreal stratum of forest per hectare and production rate of dead leaves of three species forestry Mure, Pendare and Arenillo trees. The aerial biomass was estimated from the measured parameters in field such as: height, DAP and wood densities of each species. In addition, the species dominance was analyzed in order to know the representativeness of the biomass contribution and carbon content in the forest.
