abstract = {Polylepis woodland occurs in Peru’s tropical highlands at
elevations between 3,500 and 5,000 m above sea level and
Polylepis is the most common tree at timberline in South
America. The objective of this study was to assess the total
ecosystem carbon stock in a Polylepis incana woodland, i.e.,
aboveground biomass (canopy trees and understory), root
biomass and soil carbon stocks were all quantified. As part
of this study, an allometric equation for the quantification
of the aboveground biomass of individual P. incana trees was
developed for the first time. The most important carbon pool
was the soil (39.7 ± 6.9 kg m−2) followed by the
aboveground biomass of Polylepis trees (3.8 ± 0.7 kg
m−2). The total ecosystem carbon stock was estimated to be
43.9 ± 7.6 kg m−2; thus, 90.6 $\%$ of the ecosystem
carbon stock is soil carbon},
