| description | Payments for environmental services are part of a new and more direct conservation paradigm, which explicitly recognizes the need to create bridges between the interests of landowners and service users. Thus, the soil of the Chimborazo Fauna Production Reserve is a carbon reservoir. Then, it is here where there is a need to conduct scientific studies on its carbon storage capacity under different types of vegetation coverage. For this purpose, researchers elaborated cells for each ecosystem with the help of a geographic information system employing geoprocessing tools; a total of 819 sampling sites were established in 58560 ha. The samples were taken at a depth of 0 cm - 30 cm, and the results were entered into a database in ARC GIS, where a mask was created, extrapolating the carbon content in the entire reserve area. As a result, a higher C content was evidenced in the evergreen forest (BsSN01) and grassland (HsSn02) of the moorland, with 378.16 Mg of organic carbon (OC) and in total, 4 379581.43 Mg of OC that can be offered to the international market in carbon bonds. In this sense, it is necessary to evaluate from an economic-environmental perspective the ecosystem services that the Chimborazo Wildlife Production Reserve offers, in this case, as a carbon store in the soil, so that the economic stimuli are attractive for landowners. |

Los pagos por servicios ambientales son parte de un paradigma de conservación nuevo y más directo, que reconoce explícitamente la necesidad de crear puentes entre los intereses de los propietarios y usuarios de servicios. Por lo tanto, el suelo de la Reserva de Producción de Fauna Chimborazo es un depósito de carbono. De este modo, es aquí donde existe la necesidad de realizar estudios científicos sobre su capacidad de almacenamiento de carbono bajo diferentes tipos de cobertura vegetal. Para este propósito, los investigadores elaboraron celdas para cada ecosistema con la ayuda de un Sistema de Información Geográfica que, empleando herramientas de geoprocesamiento, establecieron un total de 819 sitios de muestreo en 58560 ha. Las muestras se tomaron a una profundidad de 0 cm - 30 cm, y los resultados se ingresaron en una base de datos en ARC GIS, donde se creó una máscara, extrapolando el contenido de carbono en toda el área de reserva. Como resultado, se evidenció un mayor contenido de C en el bosque perennifolio (BsSN01) y el pastizal (HsSN02) del páramo, con 378.16 mg de OC, y en total, 4379 581.43 mg de OC que se pueden ofrecer al mercado internacional en bonos de carbono. En este sentido, es necesario evaluar desde una perspectiva económica-ambiental de los servicios ecosistémicos que ofrece la Reserva de Producción de Fauna Chimborazo, en este caso, como almacen de carbono en el suelo, de modo que los estímulos económicos sean atractivos para los propietarios de tierras.
