Abstract

Forest management concerns drive managers to develop economic, environmental, and social innovations. This study, which is part of a policy, emphasizes the importance of reforestation in the economic value of the carbon stock sequestered in the Bouaflé Classified Forest. To achieve these objectives, botanical and dendrometric inventories were carried out. The floristic diversity and the structural parameters of the different plots made it possible to determine the quantity of carbon and carbon dioxide (CO2) stocks and the economic value of the carbon stock of the reforested areas. The results revealed four species of reforestation. The species have an average diameter between 20 to 30 cm and a height between 8 and 16 m. The monospecific plantation which stored the highest carbon rate is the Fraké 1987 plot, with a value of 5264.73 tonnes. Its monetary value is estimated at 57964.674 Euros for the CDM carbon price, 90811.3226 Euros for the Voluntary Market carbon price and 270501.812 Euros for the REDD+ Carbon price. In the multi-species plantations, the largest quantity of carbon was stored by the Fraké-Framiré 1981 plot with a value of 657.99 tonnes. Therefore, the type of reforestation plays an important role in atmospheric carbon sequestration and the resulting carbon value.
