VALDEZ PEREZ, María Eugenia; GONZALEZ GUERRERO, Gandhi; MORALES IBARRA, Rafael  and  BOLANOS SUAREZ, Rut Yadira. Carbon reserve in forestry biomass and mineral soils in Parque Nacional Malinche (Mexico). Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.1, pp.207-215.

The protected natural areas represent one of the strategies for the mitigation of climate change. The aim of this research consists of estimating the carbon content in forestry biomass found in mineral soils and calculating the carbon losses due to changes in soil use in the Park (PNM). The surface area of the Park (PNM) is 17.496,34 ha and houses 1.544,377,66 mg in Wood and 4.148,958,97 mg in soil. To estimate the content of forestry biomass allometric equations were applied and work was done with the cartography of the INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Geography) in the spacetemporal analysis of the changes in soil use. For soil carbon the values of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change) were applied.

Keywords : natural area; forestry biomass; carbon; Malinche; mineral soils.
