ABSTRACT Management of tropical dry forests in Brazil expanded 450% in the two latest decades; but little is known about the dynamics of these areas. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate if the recovery of mean original biomass stocks (MOBS) is a consistent criterion to define cut cycles in a managed forest for charcoal production, and determine the remaining biomass and its contribution to soil carbon stocks. The study was conducted at the Ramalhete Settlement, in General Sampaio, CE, Brazil, in 2018. The explorable shrubby-arboreous biomass (ESAB) and the ESAB mean annual increases (ESAB -MAI) were determined in five areas subjected to clearcutting after 3, 5, 8, 11, and 15 years, and in a preservation area with 40 years of regeneration. Each area was divided into seven plots (20 × 20 m), totaling 42 plots. The ESAB of the plots were compared and the remaining biomass (branches, stumps, and litterfall) in a recently explored area was calculated and converted into organic carbon. The remaining biomass of branches had higher contribution to soil carbon stocks, followed by the litterfall, and stumps. The carbon stocks of the branch component were 3.4-fold higher than those of the litterfall. The recovery of the MOBS of an area after clearcutting should not be used as a criterion to define the cut cycle, since these original carbon stocks do not represent the maximum ESAB production possible in the area; the biodiversity and amount of ESAB in the classes of larger diameter are more adequate criteria.

The woody flora of the National Park of Manda in the Sudanian area of Chad has been characterized between October and December 2016 to know its floristic diversity, and to quantify its aerial woody biomass. The transect and quadra method (1m x 1m) were simultaneously adopted for this study. The pan-tropical equation of Chave et al. made it possible to evaluate the carbon stocks in different sites. The study of the flora species identified 45 species divided into 37 genus and 21 families for an average population density of 355 individuals/ha. Three classes of the diameter dominate the settlement: class ≤ 10 cm; class of 10-20 cm and class of 20-30 cm. The height classes belong to the class of plants ≤ 4 m; and at last having a height ≤ 7 m. The basal area was 5.86 m2 / ha. It appears that the woody components store 23.82 ± 0.01 tC / ha, the undergrowth 0.14 ± 0.01 tC / ha and the litter 0.56 ± 0.01 tC / ha. This research is a contribution to the REDD+ process (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation).
