Cacao-based agroforestry systems (cAFS) represent a sustainable land use that enhances carbon storage in aboveground biomass, particularly in degraded pasture areas of the Amazon. This study estimated carbon storage across different land use systems in the Colombian Amazon, including cAFS, full-sun cocoa plantations, forests, and degraded pastures.
