Summary: Abstract: Changes in land use and land cover in the Amazon Biome directly impact carbon reservoirs, making it a crucial ecosystem service for climate regulation. Therefore, quantifying and spatializing these reservoirs is essential. Using the Carbon Storage and Sequestration model from InVEST, combined with Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) data and areas declared in the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) in the state of Rondônia, we created a current scenario and a future scenario with 5-year-old secondary forest. Forest formation and pasture predominated in the declared areas, and the reservoirs with the most significant gains in carbon tons were Aboveground Biomass (AGB) and Belowground Biomass (BGB), resulting in a total gain of 2% compared to the current state. This underscores the importance of commandand-control tools and incentives for forest restoration.
