Abstract:
The present study was conducted at a university experimental site at the village Aisah of Morena district of M. P., near the bank of Chambal River during 2020-21 to 2021-22 emphasized the plantation of several species of native forest trees and fruit trees plants for the control and reclamation of ravines and their management for sustainable livelihood security. Plantation of different fruit trees Moringa oleifera, Terminalia arjuna, Azadirachta indica, Acacia nilotica, Millettia pinnata, Albizia lebbeck, Gmelina arborea, Dalbergia sissoo and Justicia adhatoda were raised during 2012 at 3x3 m spacing. The pooled mean effect of both the years of the carbon weight of the tree varies within different tree species. Data revealed that the highest carbon sequestration of the tree was observed for Moringa oleifera followed with a value of (1063.33 pounds/year/plant), followed by Albizia lebbeck (632.41 pounds/year/plant), Azadirachta indica (296.77 pounds/year/plant), Acacia nilotica (271.86 pounds/year/plant), Dalbergia sissoo (269.87 pounds/year/plant), Terminalia arjuna (137.72 pounds/year/plant), Millettia pinnata (109.11 pounds/year/plant) and Gmelina arborea (57.05 pounds/year/plant). While the lowest carbon sequestration of the tree was recorded in Justicia adhatoda with a value of (1.76 pounds/year/plant).
