Biological invasions are of complex solution, consuming resources for their control and
eradication. However, in many of the documented processes that are available, this is an attempt with
no solution in sight. The possibility of increasing the pressure over these species while creating value
chains has been presented as a method for ensuring the sustainability of their control and eradication
processes. In the case of invasive forest species in Portugal, such as Acacia dealbata Link, this control is
becoming increasingly important. In addition to the negative impacts on biodiversity, the proliferation
of this species has economic implications due to its competition with forest production species such
as Pinus pinaster Aiton and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. Another critical aspect to be considered is
the increase of the risk of rural fires, which is enhanced by the accumulation of low-value biomass
around production forests. In this work, the possibility of using this species as a vehicle for the
capture and sequestration of carbon in the medium and long-term was evaluated from a perspective
of providing ecosystem services as a measure to mitigate climate change. However, due to its highly
heliophilous character, it was found that the growth capacity of this species is rapidly conditioned by
the position of each tree within a stand, not being able to maintain that capacity in the medium and
long term
