        <label>Abstract</label>
        <p>The carbon storage in a secondary forest undergoing restoration in La Conejera Wetland, Bogotá, Colombia, was estimated. This involved zoning areas with woody vegetation, followed by biomass estimation using an allometric model that incorporates height and diameter at breast height (DBH) data (collected in the field) and wood density (secondary information). The carbon value stored per hectare (Mg ha<sup>-1</sup>) per zone and the tons of carbon per species were determined. In the analyzed transects, 28.73 t of carbon were found, equivalent to an average of 226.68 Mg ha<sup>-1</sup> of carbon per biozone or 763.92 Mg CE ha<sup>-1</sup>. Introduced species stored more carbon than native ones (20.27 Mg and 8.47 Mg, respectively). The species with the highest carbon content were <italic>Eucalyptus globulus</italic> (18.33 Mg), <italic>Salix humboldtiana</italic> (4.24 Mg), and <italic>Alnus acuminata</italic> (1.7 Mg).</p>
