Sustainable forest management is an alternative to conserve biodiversity, maintain forest structure and therefore, carbon storage. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of forest management on the diversity and structure of tree species, and to quantify the carbon content stored in the above-ground biomass of temperate forests in three systems: (1) Mexican Management Method of Irregular Forests (MMOBI) (2) Silvicultural Development Method (MDS) and (3) unmanaged forest (BNM), located in Santiago Xiacuí and Santiago Comaltepec, Oaxaca, Mexico. Alpha indices were used to estimate tree diversity. The structure was evaluated from the importance value index (IVI). The carbon stored in the biomass was estimated with dasometric data and volumetric equations. 44 species distributed in 14 families were identified. According to IVI, the most important species in the three systems were Q. laurina Humb. & Bonpl. and P. patula Schiede ex Schltdl. & Cham. presenting the highest carbon contents. While the system with the highest carbon content in the biomass was the BNM (341.6 Mg ha-1 of biomass and 164.7 Mg ha-1 of carbon content), in addition to having the highest density (872 trees ha-1). Forests managed with the MMOBI have greater carbon storage potential than MDS, because they have greater similarity in diversity and density than an unmanaged forest.

El manejo forestal sustentable es una alternativa para conservar la biodiversidad, mantener la estructura forestal y, por ende, el almacenamiento de carbono. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar el efecto del manejo forestal sobre la diversidad y estructura de las especies arbóreas y cuantificar el contenido de carbono almacenado en la biomasa aérea de bosques templados en tres sistemas: (1) método mexicano de ordenación de bosques irregulares (MMOBI), (2) método de desarrollo silvícola (MDS) y (3) bosque no manejado (BNM), ubicados en Santiago Xiacuí y Santiago Comaltepec, Oaxaca, México. Para estimar la diversidad arbórea se utilizaron índices alfa. La estructura se evaluó a partir del índice de valor de importancia (IVI). El carbono almacenado en la biomasa se estimó con datos dasométricos y ecuaciones volumétricas. Se identificaron 44 especies distribuidas en 14 familias. De acuerdo con el IVI, las especies más importantes en los tres sistemas fueron Q. laurina Humb. & Bonpl. y P. patula Schiede ex Schltdl. & Cham. presentando los mayores contenidos de carbono. El sistema forestal con mayor contenido de carbono en la biomasa fue el BNM (341.6 Mg ha-1 de biomasa y 164.7 Mg ha-1 de contenido de carbono), además de presentar la densidad más alta (872 árboles ha-1). Los bosques manejados con el MMOBI tienen mayor potencial de almacenamiento de carbono respecto a los MDS, debido a que tienen mayor similitud en diversidad y densidad que un bosque no manejado.
