Resumo: Among the benefits of the Integrated Production System - ILF is the enhancement of the forestry component of carbon immobilization in biomass, reducing CO2 emission into the atmosphere and, consequently, reducing climate change. This study aimed to evaluate eucalyptus growth and estimate its carbon sequestration in an integrated livestock-forest system (ILF) located in the southeastern region of Pará. Data were collected at Fazenda Riacho Grande, in the municipality of Bom Jesus do Tocantins, PA. In order to assess the growth and carbon stock of the forest species, annual measurements were taken, one at 12 months and another at 27 months of age, in 3 plots measuring 1,271 m². The volume of 9.97 m³ ha-1 and a mean annual increment (MAI) of 4.43 m³ ha-1 year-1 were observed, with an estimated carbon stock of 2.14 Mg of C ha-1 and 7.83 Mg ha-1 of CO2 eq being sequestered from the atmosphere, thus providing a potential to neutralize methane emission of 2.08 AU ha-1 year-1 at 27 months of age.
