Carbon stock in silvopastoral systems: A study in the Middle Sinú, Colombia
Introduction. Silvopastoral systems play an important role in livestock production, provide benefits to the animal and edaphic components, and offer environmental services such as atmospheric carbon sequestration in the soil and biomass. Objective. To evaluate the capacity of atmospheric carbon sequestration in three systems of different complexities focused on livestock production, in northern Colombia. Materials and methods. The study was carried out at the Turipana Research Center of the Corporacion Colombiana de Investigacion Agropecuaria between 2019 and 2021. The dasometric parameters of the tree/shrub component were evaluated. The aboveground (CBA) and belowground (CBR) biomass of these species were estimated with allometric models. The fallen litter biomass (CLIT) and soil organic carbon up to 30 cm, with readings every 10 cm, were quantified by the combustion method and total accumulated carbon. The design corresponded to complete randomized blocks, with three treatments and four repetitions. The treatments corresponded to two silvopastoral systems (SSP) of different complexity and a grass without trees (Pr). Results. Aerial biomass was higher in the SSP (2.18 ± 1.13, 4.51 ± 3.76 t ha-1 C) than in Pr (0.19 ± 0.09 t ha-1 C). The highest accumulation of CBR (1.16 ± 3.76 t ha-1 C) and CLIT (3.09 ± 2.45 t ha-1 C) occurred in SSP2. The soil organic carbon accumulated (COS) values showed higher accumulation in the first stratum. The COS represented in the three systems more than 70 % of the total contribution in accumulated carbon contribution. Conclusion. Under the environmental conditions of the humid tropical dry forest, silvopastoral systems increased the stock of atmospheric carbon in the soil and biomass. The use of SSP is a strategy in the mitigation of greenhouse gases in the livestock production system.

Los sistemas silvopastoriles tienen un papel importante en la producción ganadera, aportan beneficios a los componentes animal y edáfico, ofrecen servicios ambientales como la captura de carbono atmosférico en el suelo y la biomasa. Objetivo. Evaluar la capacidad de captura de carbono atmosférico en tres sistemas de diferentes complejidades enfocados a la producción ganadera, en el norte de Colombia. Materiales y métodos. El estudio se llevó a cabo en el Centro de Investigación Turipaná de la Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria entre 2019 y 2021. Se evaluaron parámetros dasométricos del componente arbóreo/arbustivo. Se estimó la biomasa aérea (CBA) y subterránea (CBR) de estas especies con modelos alométricos. Se cuantificó la biomasa de hojarasca caída (CLIT) y el carbono orgánico en el suelo hasta los 30 cm, con lecturas cada 10 cm, por el método de combustión y carbono total acumulado. El diseño correspondió a bloques completos al azar, con tres tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones. Los tratamientos correspondieron a dos sistemas silvopastoriles (SSP) de diferente complejidad y una gramínea sin árboles (Pr). Resultados. La biomasa aérea fue mayor dentro los SSP (2,18±1,13, 4,51±3,76 t ha-1 C) que en Pr (0,19±0,09 t ha-1 C). En SSP2 se presentó la mayor acumulación de CBR (1,16±3,76 t ha-1 C) y CLIT (3,09±2,45 t ha-1 C). Los valores de carbono orgánico acumulado en el suelo (COS), mostraron mayor acumulación en el primer estrato. El COS representó en los tres sistemas más del 70 % del aporte total en carbono acumulado. Conclusión. Bajo las condiciones ambientales de bosque seco tropical húmedo, los sistemas silvopastoriles aumentaron la reserva de carbono atmosférico en el suelo y en la biomasa; el uso de SSP es una estrategia en la mitigación de gases de efecto invernadero en el sistema productivo ganadero.
