“Mauritia flexuosa palm peat swamp forests concentrate important carbon reserves in the Amazon Basin, but
are strongly affected by changes in land use. There is little information about their distribution pattern and
carbon stocks in the Andean-Amazonian piedmonts. We studied four palm peat swamp forests of different
types in two localities with different management, in the piedmont of the Alto Mayo Valley in San Martín
Region, Peru. M. flexuosa showed an aggregated distribution (standardised Morisita index) and statistically
significant differences in abundance and density between the four forests. The average above-ground carbon
stocks of these palm forests were estimated at 61.5 Mg ha-1
(41.4–85.0 Mg ha-1
), with M. flexuosa contributing
45.4 %. In the locality that was managed for conservation (Tingana), the above-ground carbon stocks were
77.9–85.0 Mg ha-1
, and thus approximately double those in the locality (Posic) with strong anthropic pressure
(41.3–42.3 Mg ha-1
).“
