Abstract (es)
La estimación de biomasa es fundamental para conocer las reservas de carbono. En el paisaje de piedemonte y altillanura del departamento del Meta, Colombia, se calculó la biomasa aérea de nueve clones de Hevea brasiliensis por método directo en árboles de 11 años. Posteriormente, se ajustaron ecuaciones alométricas y se generó un modelo de biomasa a partir de la circunferencia del tronco. Se evaluaron cuatro modelos de crecimiento no lineal y, con el mejor de ellos, se calcularon los parámetros y las métricas de crecimiento de genotipos en los campos clonales La Libertad y Taluma. Los clones FDR 5788 y PMB 1 reportaron una mayor captura de carbono en La Libertad y Taluma. En la región de la Orinoquía, estos resultados son útiles para estimar con mayor precisión la captura de carbono y aportan información para la formulación de estrategias de mitigación del cambio climático y posibles esquemas de pago por servicios ambientales.
Abstract (en)
Biomass estimations are essential for determining carbon stocks. In the piedmont and high plains of the department of Meta, Colombia, the aboveground biomass of nine Hevea brasiliensis clones was calculated using the direct method in 11-year-old trees. Subsequently, allometric equations were fitted, and a biomass model was generated based on trunk circumference. Four nonlinear growth models were evaluated, and, with the best-performing one, the growth parameters and metrics of the genotypes were calculated in the clonal fields La Libertad and Taluma. The clones FDR 5788 and PMB 1 showed higher carbon capture in both La Libertad and Taluma. In the Orinoquía region, these results are useful for improving the accuracy of carbon capture estimates and providing valuable information to aid in the formulation of climate change mitigation strategies and potential payment schemes for environmental services.
