Abstract

Carbon sequestration is the process of transferring carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the soil through crop residues, plants and other organic solids. In the present study the carbon sequestration potentiality of selected tree species of Malanjkhand copper project (MCP) forest area in district Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh was measured through computation. The studies was conducted in one hectare of forest area found 193 trees of 8 different species in which 38,36,31,22,21,17,16,12 numbers of Tectona grandis, Madhuca indica, Butea monosperma, Delonix regia, Mangifera indica, Dalbergia sisso, Azadirachta indica and Eucalyptus citriodora respectively with a total carbon sequestered 6.414t/ha. Among the eight different species the maximum total carbon sequestered was 2.015t by Mangifera indica and lowest 0.96t by Eucalyptus citriodora.
