Estimation of Tree Biomass and Carbon Density of Tropical Moist Deciduous Forest in Semi-Arid Regions Katridaddi - Hillock, Belagavi, Karnataka
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This present work was carried out in semi-arid regions of Katridaddi hillock, Belagavi district Karnataka to study total biomass and carbon sequestration potential by quadrat method.A total of 30 quadrats of 32m × 32m were laid in the study area, and tree species were calculated accordingly.During the study, 22 tree species belonging to 12 families are recorded.Among the recorded tree species, the top dominant family with highest number of species comprises of Fabaceae with 88 species.The total carbon sequestered in the Hillock is 16.522 tons.
