Abstract

Currently, the coffee production systems (Coffea arabica L.) are constantly changing giving rise to plantations that contribute to mitigating climate change through carbon storage. The research allowed estimating the stored carbon above-ground and underground biomass in four 4-year-old coffee productive systems in the ecotope 221A, municipality of Consacá Nariño, under a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The blocks correspond to three altitudinal ranges: >1800; 1800-1600 and <1600 masl, and the production treatments correspond to: full sunlight exposure coffee (T1), lemon-coffee (T2), guamo-coffee (T3) and carbonero-coffee (T4). The allometric equations of each species were applied to determine the carbon stored. These results showed high carbon storage in the range >1800 masl (109.81 t.ha-1 ) and the low carbon storage in the range <1500 masl (42.39 t.ha-1 ). On the other hand, the results did not show significant statistical differences in the production systems. However, the highest carbon storage was quantified in T4 (74.82 t.ha-1 ) and the lowest value was quantified in T3 (56.56 t.ha-1 ). This indicates that carbon storage is higher in coffee systems associated with woody species at altitudes above 1800 masl.
