In the research carried out on the socio-economic environmental assessment of environmental fires, in the province of Imbabura, an economic assessment was carried out using the methodology provided by the Ministry of the Environment with forest plantations of Eucalyptus globulus. Through a study it was possible to determine that the forests and natives have an environmental economic value of 77783.4 USD / ha, the same that is higher than that of the forest plantations that have 46344.1 USD / ha and 45471.9 USD / say ah. On the other hand, it was also found that biomass production is clearly higher in forest plantations than in native forests (E. globulus 492.59 ton / ha, P. patula 333.8 ton / ha and native forests 151, 91 ton / ha), with amounts that exceed more than 50% and that, in addition, is reflected in carbon storage, since forest plantations have higher biomass production, also retinal a greater amount of carbon (E. globulus with 246.30 ton / ha, P. patula with 166.93 Forest and Andean 75.96 ton / ha).
