摘要

Tropical forests serve as carbon sinks and perform an essential function in climate change mitigation. The present research paper seeks to assess the carbon storage ability of different tree biomass and vegetation soil and temporal soil carbon stock at Ramnabagan wildlife sanctuary in Burdwan, West Bengal. The four vegetation sites of deciduous trees species (Shorea robusta, Tectona grandis, Schleichera oleosa, and Albizia lebbeck) were selected for biomass estimation as well as carbon stock. The tree biomass was calculated using allometric equations, and litterfall was estimated by standard litter trap method. Soil parameters were analyzed using standard techniques. Results revealed that organic carbon content in top soil was higher than subsoil, whereas bulk density showed a reverse trends. The highest quantity of tree biomass was recorded for A. lebbeck followed by S. robusta, S. oleosa, and lowest for T. grandis. Moreover, the highest carbon stocks of biomass were noticed for A. lebbeck (1.96 t/ha) and leaf litter for S. robusta (0.60 t/ha). Carbon stocks in soil were highest for S. robusta (11.30 Mg/ha) in summer, A. lebbeck (14.72 Mg/ha) in rainy, and S. oleosa (17.02 t/ha) in winter seasons, respectively. The order of the total carbon storage capacity of different vegetation site was S. robusta > A. lebbeck > T. grandis > S. oleosa. Therefore, it was concluded that tree species conservation insights into the major biomass drivers and carbon storage of soil may contribute to climate change mitigate in the tropical forest.
