Comparative Status of Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Albizia Lebbek and Delonix Regia
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Biomass production in different forms plays important role in carbon sequestration in trees. In the present investigation aboveground and belowground carbon sequestration potential of Albizia lebbeik from nine sectors of Aurangabad city was measured. The standing aboveground biomass and belowground biomass of Albizia lebbek were 53.73 tha-1 and 13.97 tha-1 respectively, while total standing biomass of Albizia lebbek in 2847 hectares area was 67.70 tha-1. The standing aboveground biomass and belowground biomass of Delonix regia were 30.25tha-1 and 07.86tha-1 respectively, while total standing biomass of Delonix regia in 2847 hectares area was 38.11tha-1. The average carbon sequestration and carbon dioxide of Albizia lebbek intake is 33.85tha-1 and 124.23 tCO2 in Aurangabad. The average carbon sequestration and carbon dioxide of Delonix regia intake is 19.06tCha-1 and 63.96 tCO2 in Aurangabad. The highest sequestered carbon dioxide percentage in Albizia lebbek at sector 7th it is 20% and lowest at sector 1st it is 1%, while, in Delonix regia the highest in sector 7th (20%) and lowest in sector 1st (2%).
