Description
Summary:CO2 production has a negative impact on the environment, which leads to opting for solutions that can counteract the emission of this gas efficiently. This project presents the reforestation with the Paulownia Tomentosa species to mitigate the atmospheric impact produced by the existing motor vehicles in the cities of Chitré, Herrera Province and La Villa de los Santos, Los Santos Province. They are located in the Arco Seco (dry arch) of the Republic of Panama. Taking into account the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of the species, the number of vehicles within the places studied and the existing natural reservoirs in the area, the data indicates that the number of trees of this species to be planted is less than 2000 seedlings.
