It was calculated the carbon amount stored in four types of shade coffee systems in the south of Colombia: high density of trees for diversified shade (Alta. Dens), Guamo in high density (Guam.Ad), Walnut in high density (Nog.Ad), Banana with low diversity (Plat.bdiv), Complex diversified shadow (Com.Div), through the use of allometric equations for measuring biomass; the study was developed between June and December of 2012. The typologies with the highest rate of carbon storage were: Com.Div and Guam.Ad with 87.37 and 58.11 t ha-1 of C respectively. The typologies Alta. dens and Guam.Ad had a lower rate of carbon storage. A relation between the % of coverage of the typologies and the increase in the accumulation of carbon was found; that means, systems with higher diversification presented higher values of carbon buildup
