Abstract
Carbon storage in the soil occurs through the formation and decomposition of organic matter. The constant supply of nutrients to the soil by the accumulation of elements such as leaves, twigs, fruit, bark and trees, which on decomposition produces a number of elements that help the growth of trees and other plants and production of CO2 in the soil.
The current study search for quantify CO2 soil flux in a 1 ha plot locate at Cerro Pelado Gamboa in the Panama Canal watershed. Close chambers system Li-COR 6400 XT-09 equipment was used to estimate in a short time the concentration rate of CO2 through soil surface.
21 sampling points were defined into the plot where CO2 flux, soil temperature, soil moisture; light intensity and slop measurements were carried out. Results show that the CO2 soil rate flux was 49.33 t CO2 ha-1 yr-1 and temperature and soil moisture exert significant control over emission rates of this gas into the atmosphere.
