Resumo: | Páramos have a high environmental importance due to their high plant and animal endemism, water regulation and carbon storage. In this work, the structure and composition of the tree vegetation were characterized as well as carbon storage in aboveground biomass and the potential reduction of emissions by deforestation were estimated prioritizing the type of forest for conservation efforts in the Reserva Natural Semillas de Agua (RNSA) in Páramo of Anaime, Tolima, Colombia. A stratifed randomly sampling, where type of forests (stumpy, mature and subpáramo forests) was the strata, was used. In each type of forest, a total of nine sampling plots with an area of 10 x 15 m were established to measure all individuals with diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥ 10 cm. Total aboveground was estimated using a multi-species allometric model locally generated. The most important trees species, in terms of the importance value index and carbon storage, were Weinmannia auriculata and Miconia spp. The greatest carbon storage was reached by the subpáramo forests, followed by mature and stumpy forests (242 vs 147 vs 25 Mg/ha, respectively). The RNSA forests stored a total of 3.2 Tg CO2e in the total aboveground biomass. However, 0.2-0.5 Tg CO2e can be lost in 20 years with an annual deforestation of 0.78 or 2.8%, respectively. These reductions of greenhouse gases could be commercialized in a REDD+ potential project that helps to conserve these forest areas. The conservation of these forests is a key for avoiding the emission of high amounts of CO2. The stumpy and subpáramo forests should be prioritized in the conservation efforts due to their high diversity and endemism and the high amount of carbon in the case of mature forests. |

En este trabajo se caracterizó la estructura y composición poblacional de la vegetación arbórea, se estimó el almacenamiento de carbono en biomasa aérea y el potencial de reducción de emisiones por deforestación, y se priorizó los tipos de bosques nativos en los esfuerzos de conservación en la Reserva Natural Semillas de Agua (RNSA) en el páramo de Anaime, Tolima, Colombia. En cada tipo de bosque (achaparrado, maduro y subpáramo), se establecieron nueve parcelas de muestreo de 10 x 15 m, en donde se midieron todos los individuos con un diámetro del tronco a la altura del pecho (dap) ≥ 10 cm. La biomasa aérea se estimó a través de un modelo alométrico multi-especie generado localmente. Las especies importantes, en términos de índice de valor de importancia y de almacenamiento de carbono, fueron Weinmannia auriculata y Miconia sp. El mayor almacenamiento de carbono se alcanzó en los bosques del subpáramo, seguido de los maduros y achaparrados (242 vs 147 vs 25 Mg/ha, respectivamente). Los bosques en la RNSA almacenan 3,2 Tg CO2e en biomasa aérea, de los cuales se podrían perder 0,2-0,5 Tg CO2e en 20 años con una deforestación anual de 0,78 y 0,28%, respectivamente. Estas reducciones de gases de efecto invernadero podrían ser comercializadas en un potencial proyecto REDD+, que ayuden a conservar estas áreas de bosque. Los bosques achaparrados y del subpáramo deberían ser priorizados en los esfuerzos de conservación debido a su diversidad, endemismo y a su gran cantidad de carbono en el caso de los bosques maduros.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2019-04-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/2655110.5902/1980509826551Ciência Florestal; Vol. 29 No. 1 (2019); 157-168Ciência Florestal; v. 29 n. 1 (2019); 157-1681980-50980103-9954reponame:Ciência Florestal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMspahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/26551/pdfCopyright (c) 2019 Ciência Florestalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSegura Madrigal, Milena AndreaAndrade Castañeda, Hernán JairMojica Sánchez, Carlos Arturo2020-06-05T19:47:21Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/26551Revistahttp://www.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/ONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||cienciaflorestal@ufsm.br|| cienciaflorestal@gmail.com|| cf@smail.ufsm.br1980-50980103-9954opendoar:2020-06-05T19:47:21Ciência Florestal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |

In this work, the structure and composition of the tree vegetation were characterized as well as carbon storage in aboveground biomass and the potential reduction of emissions by deforestation were estimated prioritizing the type of forest for conservation efforts in the Reserva Natural Semillas de Agua (RNSA) in Páramo of Anaime, Tolima, Colombia. A stratifed randomly sampling, where type of forests (stumpy, mature and subpáramo forests) was the strata, was used. In each type of forest, a total of nine sampling plots with an area of 10 x 15 m were established to measure all individuals with diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥ 10 cm. Total aboveground was estimated using a multi-species allometric model locally generated.
