Biomass and carbon storage in trees of the first section of Chapultepec Park, Mexico City
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in quantifying carbon stocks in urban forests in order to assess their potential in climate change mitigation. In the present study the aboveground biomass and C pools were estimated at the first section of the Chapultepec Park and its relationship...

| description | In recent years, there has been a growing interest in quantifying carbon stocks in urban forests in order to assess their potential in climate change mitigation. In the present study the aboveground biomass and C pools were estimated at the first section of the Chapultepec Park and its relationship with the basal area and species composition was analyzed. Carbon stock of this green area is expected to be important, at least with respect to local neighborhood’s emissions of CO2. For Fraxinus uhdei, the dominant species, biomass estimates generated in natural and urban equations were compared with those obtained in seven trees sampled at the site; the urban equation produced the best estimates. Based on inventories of 27.3% of the green areas of the first section and the use of allometric relationships, the total reservoir was estimated at 24 217 Mg of biomass and 11 226 Mg of C. The species composition and basal area significantly influenced biomass and C pools. The average C content was relatively high compared with those indicated in urban forests in other cities in the world, thus Chapultepec Park can be considered an important reservoir. |

Durante los últimos años ha habido un creciente interés por cuantificar los reservorios de carbono en los bosques naturales y urbanos y su potencial en la mitigación del cambio climático. En el presente estudio se estimaron los depósitos de biomasa y C aéreos del arbolado de la primera sección del Bosque de Chapultepec, en la Ciudad de México y se analizó su relación con el área basal y la composición de especies. Los resultados del inventario indican que el reservorio de C en el área verde de estudio es importante, al menos con respecto a la cantidad de CO2 que se emite de manera local. Además, para la especie dominante, Fraxinus uhdei, se compararon las estimaciones de biomasa de ecuaciones generadas en bosques naturales y urbanos con las obtenidas en siete árboles del sitio; la ecuación de ambientes urbanos generó una mejor estimación. A partir del inventario correspondiente a 27.3% de las áreas verdes de la primera sección y de la aplicación de relaciones alométricas, se estimaron reservorios totales de 24 217 Mg de biomasa y 11 226 Mg de C. La composición de especies y el área basal influyeron en los depósitos de biomasa y C. El valor medio de contenido de C es alto en comparación con los registrados en bosques urbanos de otras ciudades del mundo, por lo que Bosque de Chapultepec es un reservorio importante.
