Abstract
Abstract : At the national level, the management impact on the capacity for carbon sequestration of various land use types is least understood. An important component of a comprehensive plan for managing carbon emissions to lessen the rising CO2 emissions into the atmosphere is carbon sequestration, a burgeoning area of research. According to projections, terrestrial ecosystems might store a large amount of carbon during the next 50 years. By delaying the need for more drastic reductions in global emissions, the impact of this sequestration may help buy time for other technologies to become operational. There is growing interest in scientific developments that might be used to improve this potential carbon sequestration in soils. There are fresh initiatives to begin research that might help mitigate increasing CO2 emissions through special efforts to sequester CO2. Carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems can be defined as the net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere into long-lived store of carbon.This can include living biomass found above ground (such as trees), biomass-derived wood products with a long usable life (such as lumber), living biomass found in soils (such as roots and microbes), or recalcitrant organic and inorganic carbon in deeper underground habitats. The need to increase photosynthetic carbon fixation alone must be emphasized. Long-lasting pools must have this carbon fixed in them. Thus, one might not be boosting carbon sequestration but rather just changing the magnitude of fluxes in the carbon cycle. Planting more trees has the potential to boost the ability of forests to store carbon. Our study found that the establishment of PNV (protected natural vegetation) is the best practise of restoration projects because it provides a cost-effective mechanism that prevents animals from grazing freely and human interference.We calculated DBH of 190 trees within the 15 acres of campus area within 4 weeks,where we estimated total campus carbon capture to be 600.24kg. We can also estimate the carbon sequestration of PNVs and find out their carbon credits values, this tradable certificate are permits that allow the owner to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases.
