Abstract
- Bamboos are important crops based on their potential for environmental services, carbon dioxide sequestration and timber production in a short period of time. In this study, eight variables associated with the productivity of Bambusa vulgaris var. vulgaris were evaluated and an estimate of the carbon dioxide sequestered was calculated. The total number of culms per plant was 16.53; the length of the culms was 12.35 m. The outer diameter of the culm in the basal, middle and distal was of 7.10 cm, 6.48 cm and 3.05 cm, while the inner diameter of the culm was 4.16 cm, 5.12 cm and 1.95 cm respectively. Fresh mass in the basal, middle and distal was 1.15 kg, 0.59 kg and 0.18 kg, while the dry mass was 0.63 kg, 0.33 kg and 0.11 kg. The net volume of the section of the culm basal, middle and distal was 0.12 m³, 0.056 m³, 0.045 m³, while the apparent volume of the culm was 0.29 m³, 0.27 m³, 0.13 m³. The carbon sequestered estimate per culm was 3.25 kg per culm and 53.68 kg per rally. These variables can be used for more accurate measures of productivity growth and Bambusa vulgaris var. vulgaris under field conditions, as well as for estimating environmental contributions by estimating the CO2 sequestration of this species in Cuban agroecosystems.
