Descripción
Summary:During last two decades human interest in the greenhouse effect caused by CO2 emissions has increased. At global scale, the Kyoto Protocol is an Agreement signed by almost all countries, as the main mechanism to diminish CO2 emissions. It is well known that agroforestry systems can contribute  to CO 2   capture at a level similar to that of many managed forests. Shaded coffee plantations are agroforestry systems likely to be included 3 as  CO 2 capture and storage mechanisms. We explain in this essay, the potential of coffee agroecosystems from central Veracruz State, to  capture and store CO2.
