| description | Currently, assessing carbon content in forest species is considered essential for programs designed to mitigate global warming. Although in Mexico these studies are becoming more numerous, we still do not know the state of the art in this scientific field. To our knowledge there is a lack of a systematic synthesis of the current condition of carbon sequestration from forest species in Mexico. This would be a useful baseline for scientists interested in further developing carbon studies. The aim of the present study is to analyze the variations of carbon uptake in Mexican forest species. From a comprehensive literature review of indexed journals and specialized databases, this study records the efforts made to record carbon storage rates in Mexican forests based on species, tree components, regions and ecosystems. The results identify those areas that are frequently the subject of research, as well as where opportunities exist and where efforts should be targeted, particularly in rainforests that have been the subject of very few research studies. This study to generate the first Mexican data base that summarizes state of the art data on the topic under study and contributes to a better understanding of potential functional relationships between diversity and carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems in Mexico. |

Actualmente, evaluar contenido de carbono en especies forestales es considerado esencial en programas diseñados para mitigar el calentamiento global. Aunque en México estos estudios son cada vez más numerosos, aún no se conoce el estado del arte en este campo científico. A consideración de los autores, se carece de una síntesis que sistematice las condiciones actuales de captura de carbono a partir de especies forestales en México. Esto podría ser una línea base útil para científicos interesados en desarrollar más estudios de carbono. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las variaciones de captura de carbono en especies forestales mexicanas. A partir de una exhaustiva revisión de literatura de revistas indexadas y bases de datos especializados, este estudio registra los esfuerzos hechos para documentar las tasas de almacenamiento de carbono en los bosques mexicanos, según las especies, compartimentos del árbol, regiones y ecosistemas. Los resultados identifican aquellas áreas que frecuentemente son sujetas de investigación, así como aquellas donde existen áreas de oportunidad y hacia donde se deben dirigir los esfuerzos de investigación, particularmente en las selvas donde se han realizado pocos estudios. Este estudio genera la primera base de datos mexicana que resume el estado del arte en el tópico bajo estudio y contribuye a un mejor entendimiento de las potenciales relaciones funcionales entre diversidad y captura de carbono en los ecosistemas forestales en México.
