Carbon Pools, Secondary Forest, Future Scenario, Model CarbonAbstract
The carbon storage and sequestration are impacted by land use/land cover (LULC) changes, being an important ecosystem service, responsible for climate regulation. Through InVEST's Carbon Storage and Sequestration model, combined with LULC and declared areas in Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR) in Rondônia State, a current and two future scenarios of carbon pools with secondary forest of 5 and 80 years were created in the Amazon biome. The declared areas have a predominance of forest formation and pasture, and the pools with the highest gains in tons of carbon were aboveground and belowground biomass, with a total gain of 2% and 7%, respectively, concerning the current one. Thus, it emphasizes the importance of command-and-control tools and forest recovery incentives.
