CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Contenido del carbono en los productos y residuos forestales generados por el aprovechamiento y el aserrio en la reserva de Biosfera Maya

The use and industrial transformation of timber from tropical natural forests produce big quantities of wood residues that generate emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned or decayed. The greenhouse effect is mainly produced by CO2 emissions. Carbon content in wood residues was evaluated in the forest management unit Rio Chanchich, Peten, Guatemala. Wood volume per individual and the biomass damaged by felling of each tree were estimated for 57 trees (4,5% of the trees cut). Biomass eliminated by road and stockyard construction was estimated according to size of the cleared area. Useful volume and residues from 95 wood logs were estimated at the sawmill. Average volume per individual was 6,24 m3. Only 53,3% of the wood arrived at the sawmill while the rest remained as residues in the forest. From that amount, 87% was timber; milling efficiency was 51,2%, using a portable sawmill. In terms to carbon, logging removed 10,2 tC/ha from the forest, but only 1,4 tC/ha (13,7%) ended up in wood products.
