Global warming has become international concern, culminating with the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol which includes definitions and objectives of the sustainable development mechanisms and features that make it easier for the industrialized countries to jointly compensate for their polluting greenhouse gas emissions. Porciúncula is a city known for its agricultural development and the lack of characterization of ecosystems associated with the Atlantic Forest biome. Facing this chaotic scenario is Nova Canãa farm located in the Ribeirão da Perdição Environmental Preservation Area its forest ecosystem provides a series of environmental services such as carbon storage and CO2 sequestration. The team of researchers from OM Consultoria Ambiental performed the quantification of the biomass (Bwood) of the bole which resulted in estimates of 398.4753 t.ha-1 corresponding to 199.2377 tC.ha-1. The estimates obtained for the forest ecosystem of the farm can be used as a reference for the establishment of forest restoration projects under the under the sustainable development mechanism established the Kyoto Protocol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
