Abstract
Leaving from the composition and existences in the patrimony of the Ciego de Ávila Integral Forest Company in 2002 and 2011, it is analyzed how the variations registered among both dates rebounded on the mean retention of carbon and, assuming as business as usual scenario their technical administration in 2011, the expected changes at the end of the next 10 years are considered. While in 2002 the Company retained an average of 203,0 tC/ha, in 2011 it increased to 207,7 tC/ha, with a superior gain to 311 MtC which marketed at 2 USD/tC they would represent revenues for more than half million of dollars. The projection for 2021 reflected a decrease of its natural forest, compensated and overcome by the established plantations, at the same time that the plantations in development increased, with a decrease of the areas to reforest and an increase of the biomass in the existent forests from the 2011, reaching a mean carbon retention of 335,6 tC/ha.
