description | The estimation of accumulated aboveground biomass in a forest with management for timber harvesting is of importance to evaluate sustainability regarding the effect of the silvicultural system, and to understand the dynamics and functioning of forest ecosystems. Aboveground biomass accumulation reflects productivity at a given site. In this work we estimated the aboveground biomass and the carbon, in stands with and without forest management, in the Chincua, Senguio, Michoacán Ejido, through the generation of allometric equations for Abies religiosa (Kunth) Schltdl. & Cham and Pinus pseudostrobus Lindl, while for the broadleaf equations from other studies were used and, in addition, by means of inventory data for all species. The stand without management had a biomass of 323.23 Mg ha-1, while the stand with management 287.62 Mg ha-1, which, despite its variability, did not present significant differences (P = 0.96). The carbon content also did not present significant differences (P = 0.97), being 155.03 Mg ha-1 and 128.44 Mg ha-1 in the stands without and with management, respectively. The results indicate that with forest management, under the silvicultural selection system, the structure and composition of the managed stand were conserved, which allowed maintaining the biomass storage in an amount similar to that of a forest without management; Therefore, managed forests can be efficient carbon sinks, plus the amount of this element in the process of harvesting and processing of wood to long-term forest products, such as construction timber, furniture, railways ties, utility poles, among others, which allow their permanence for relatively long periods. |

La estimación de biomasa aérea acumulada en un bosque con manejo para el aprovechamiento forestal maderable es de importancia para evaluar la sustentabilidad por efecto del sistema silvícola, y para entender la dinámica y funcionamiento de los ecosistemas forestales. La acumulación de biomasa aérea refleja la productividad en un sitio determinado. En este trabajo se estimó la biomasa aérea y el carbono, en rodales con y sin manejo forestal, en el Ejido Chincua, Senguio, Michoacán, a través de la generación de ecuaciones alométricas para Abies religiosa (Kunth) Schltdl. & Cham y Pinus pseudostrobus Lindl, mientras que para las latifoliadas se usaron ecuaciones de otros estudios y, además, mediante datos de inventario para todas las especies. El rodal sin manejo tuvo una biomasa de 323.23 Mg ha-1, mientras que el rodal con manejo 287.62 Mg ha-1, los cuales, a pesar de su variabilidad no presentan diferencias significativas (P = 0.96). El contenido de carbono tampoco presentó diferencias significativas (P = 0.97), siendo 155.03 Mg ha-1 y 128.44 Mg ha-1 en los rodales sin y con manejo, respectivamente. Los resultados indican que con el manejo forestal, bajo el sistema silvícola de selección, se conservaron la estructura y composición del rodal con manejo, lo que permitió mantener el almacén de biomasa en una cantidad similar a la de un bosque sin manejo; por lo anterior, los bosques manejados pueden ser sumideros eficientes de carbono, más la cantidad de este elemento en el proceso de cosecha y transformación de la madera a productos forestales de larga duración, como son madera para construcción, muebles, durmientes, postes, entre otros, que permiten su permanencia por periodos relativamente largos.
