Minimum volume: 5 carbon credits Reforestation Bembibre Green Mine in Spain: Environmental reforestation of an old mining operation with an area of 8.78 ha in Bembibre, León (Spain). Area The plot is located in the northern part of Bembibre (León), to the east of Laguna de la Grulla, in the area of the Coal Mine. With an area of 8.78 ha, it is located at about 900 meters above sea level. The area is a high fire risk area. The Plantation The reforestation of the degraded area after continuous mining operations will contribute to multiple improvements of the different ecosystem services. On the one hand, it will increase the quality of the area's landscape, the vegetation will protect the soil, reducing soil erosion and increasing the soil's water retention capacity. All this will translate into an increase in the area's biodiversity. On the other hand, the pine forests will help mitigate climate change by absorbing CO2 and fixing it, while contributing to another ecosystem service, the supply of wood, managing it under the criteria of sustainable forest management. In the plantation, two species of pine were used, with a plantation frame of 3x3 m. It is planned to make a clearing after 25 years and reduce the density of feet and in turn reduce the risk of fire. -b035 05/10/2022 REGISTRO DE HUELLA DE CARBONO, COMPENSACIÓN Y PROYECTOS DE ABSORCIÓN DE DIÓXIDO DE CARBONO PROYECTO DE ABSORCIÓN RESTAURACIÓN AMBIENTAL EN UNA EXPLOTACIÓN MINERA EN BEMBIBRE TITULAR: GREEN MINE
