Author(s): Sudip Sarkar and Dipty Kumar Das
Abstract: Climate change and greenhouse effect is considered as a crucial hot topic in present time. By focusing these current issues an investigation taken out on ‘Tree biomass and carbon stock assessment in different agroforestry system trees’. The study conducted on three agroforestry systems which includes Kadamb (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) based agrisilvicultural system, Simarouba (Simarouba glauca DC) based agrisilvicultural system, Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) based agrihorticultural system and one open (without trees). Along with the biophysical parameters above ground biomass, below ground biomass, long-lived carbon storage and CO2 mitigation by trees determined. It was noticeable that among the three plantations Simarauba trees were recorded highest Carbon storage and CO2 mitigation ability over tree species. This study supports that these trees can be good pickup for agroforestry development, as they showed good carbon storing and CO2 mitigation capability.
