Sumario:In the research carried out on the environmental economic valuation, biomass and carbon production of a native forest in the city of Loja, a comparison was made with forest plantations of Eucalyptus globulus and Pinus Patula; Through a study it was possible to determine that native Andean forests have an economic environmental value of 77,783.4 USD/ha, which is higher than forest plantations that have 46344.1 USD/ha and 45,471.9 USD/ha. On the other hand, it was also found that biomass production is clearly higher in forest plantations than in native forests (E. globulus 492.59 tons/ha, P. patula 333.8 tons/ha and Native forests 151, 91 t/ha), with amounts that exceed more than 50% and which is also reflected in carbon storage, since forest plantations have higher biomass production also retain more carbon (E. globulus with 246, 30 ton/ha, P. patula with 166.93 Forest and Andean 75.96 tons/ha).
