CARBON SEQUESTRATION POTENTIAL OF DIFFERENT FOREST ECOSYSTEMS OF MANIPUR, NORTHEAST INDIA
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 7
Abstract
Rate of carbon sequestration potential were assessed in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate forest ecosystems of Manipur, Northeast India. Carbon stock in the aboveground biomass was recorded to be highest in the sub-tropical forest (319.18 Mg ha-1) followed by temperate (54.45 Mg ha-1) and tropical forest (38.35 Mg ha-1) The rates of carbon sequestration was in the order of the tropical>temperate> sub- tropical forest thus tropical forest being young sequestered more carbon than the other two old forests. Thus our study indicates that the young forests have a huge potential in the reduction of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and could be used as C-sinks in the Northeast India depending upon the level of protection.
