In order to contribute to the development of knowledge in the Neotropical Amazon, we invite you to reflect on the impacts caused by anthropic activity on the forest and how nature is responsible for the resilience of the natural resources extracted, worldwide emits 33, 516,380 metric tons (Tn. M.) of Carbon Dioxide (CO2), per year, the main contributor is China (8, 256, 969 Tn. M.), followed by the United States (5, 408, 869 Tn. M.), in Latin America and the Caribbean CO2 emissions are 18, 177, 514 Tn. M.), being the main emitter Brazil (419, 754 Tn. M.) and in contrast in Peru its CO2 emissions are 57,858 Tn. M. (World Bank, 2015). The purpose of the research work is oriented to determine the amount of carbon in the live aerial biomass, dead wood, litter and soil organic matter, in the Permanent Monitoring Plot (PPM), making use of different mathematical applications and allometric equations developed especially for tropical forests, which allow us to quantify the carbon stored in the study area.
