Vachellia macracantha, known as “Huarango” in the department of Arequipa, Peru, grows along the Peruvian coast from sea level to 2,200 meters above sea level and is a species that resists long periods of drought. In the Caravelí valley, it grows naturally on the riverside mountain and is part of the landscape between agricultural crops and forests along the valley. The present research is justified in the evaluation of the potential of this species as a climate change mitigation strategy through the ecosystem service of carbon storage. In this sense, the objectives of estimating the aerial biomass and carbon stored in the soil of a secondary forest adjacent to viticulture farms of the Huachipa Farm, located in the district of Caravelí, were raised using a non-destructive method based on equations allometric. with field data of: diameter at chest height (DAP) and total height (H); and stored organic carbon equations from %Organic Carbon and bulk density. Seven plots were established distributed in three strata with differences in their altitude (2 to 3 m) and their proximity to the river. The estimate of average carbon storage (t C/ha) of aboveground biomass is 42.55 t C/ha with a standard deviation between plots of 26.80 t C/ha for the month of September 2022. The total number of individuals found in the forest was 168 individuals, where 3 belonged to the species Schinus molle and 165 to the species Vachellia macracantha. It was found that the forest presents an inverted J distribution because the largest number of individuals are found in the smaller diameter classes (64.8% of the individuals are between 05-15 cm DBH). In addition, a high correlation coefficient (+0.947) was found between DAP and aerial biomass. The estimate of carbon storage (t C /ha) as soil organic matter in the forest under study is 32.77 Mg/ha. The stratum that presented the highest SOC (Mg/ha) was E2. This can be explained by the presence of crops in that area between the years 1980-1990 and the presence of livestock some weeks of the year. A deeper study of the forest is proposed to be able to analyze the multiple ecosystem services it offers, favoring adjacent productive systems and helping with the conservation of riparian forests.
