Carbon Sequestration of Tree Plantation in Casfos Campus, Coimbatore Tamil Nadu, India

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The study was carried out for analysing carbon sequestration of tree plantation in CASFOS Campus, Coimbatore Tamil Nadu. There were 362 tree counts are recorded with Crescentia cujete showed better carbon sequestration potential rate with 0.321 tons/tree of carbon and Muntingia calabura has the lowest sequestration rate which sequestered 0.004 tons/tree of carbon as compared to other species. An average of 0.113 tons per tree carbon is sequestered and total carbon sequestered 40.842 tons/tree in the CASFOS Campus. This study helps to improve the carbon sequestration areas to reduce the atmospheric carbon and act as carbon sinks in urban areas.
