Comparison of carbon content between plantation and natural regeneration seedlings in Durango, Mexico.

Forest plantations and natural forests perform a relevant role in capturing CO and reducing greenhouse gas concentrations. The objective of this study was to compare the diameter increment, biomass and carbon accumulation in a plantation of and a naturally regenerated stand. The data were collected from 32 circular plots of 100 m (16 plots in the planted site and 16 in naturally regenerated area).

Survival, growth and carbon content in a forest plantation established after a clear-cutting in Durango, Mexico.

Background: Forest plantations play an important role in carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate climate change. In this study, survival, biomass, growth rings and annual carbon content storage were evaluated in a mixed and plantation that was established after a clear-cutting. The plantation is eight years old and covers an area of 21.
