Abstract

Aboveground biomass, increment and carbon stock in a 36 forest plantations chronosequence of different ages were quantified. Results have been extrapolated in time using the Richard’s model. Maximum carbon stock was measured in 23 years old plantations (37 tC ha-1) and annual carbon stock rate occurs at 9 years (3.4 tC ha-1 year-1). After this age it decreases to reach 0.40 tC ha-1 year-1 at 23 years after plantation.
