The Cuban tropical wet forest had the highest total ecosystem C content 190 Mg C ha-1 of which 62 was in the aboveground biomass followed by the Spanish temperate forest 150 Mg C ha-1 with around 75 of total C content was within soil. The Mexican tropical deciduous forest had the lowest total ecosystem C content Mg C ha-1 of which 51 was in the soil. Tropical forests can not guaranteed sequestered C if the forest programs do not consider aboveground biomass protection. In contrast temperate forests with slower C sequestration rate by means of soil stabilization are less vulnerable to forest programs. biomass Cuba Mexico soil organic C Spain Résumé - Comparaison du pool de C dans trois écosystèmes forestiers d Espagne et d Amerique latine. Ce travail fait une comparaison entre les teneurs du C des sols appartenant à trois forêts une forêt caducifoliée tropicale au Mexique une forêt tropicale à Cuba et une troisième forêt tempérée en Espagne. La forêt tropicale mexicaine a la plus basse teneur en C Mg C ha-1 dans l écosystème 51 dans le sol la forêt tropicale cubaine a la plus haute teneur en C 190 Mg C ha-1 dans l écosystème 63 .
