We determined the volume, biomass and carbon content per hectare for aerial forest Saladillo (Caraipa llanorum) at the Canapro Forestry farm (Puerto Carreño, Vichada), by destructively sampling 30 individuals. In order to fit a model to estimate variables, it was necessary to determine the fresh weight of the different components of each tree, and the volume of each stem. Subsamples were taken to determine the biomass of the stem, branches and leaves of each tree in order to obtain the density and carbon content of the wood. Forest inventory reported a density of 342 trees per hectare of C. llanorum with dbh ≥ 10 cm. This represents a volume of 37,4 m3 corresponding to 26,3 t·ha-1 of carbon. The wood density was 0,65 kg·m3-1and the carbon content 52,96 %. To estimate the biomass of the species a best fit equation was used BT=e–9.47559+2.56189*ln(dap) with a biomass expansion factor of 1,52 reported for estimating the carbon balanced equation, C= e–10.2355 + 2.59771*ln(dbh).
