Abstract
Carbon sequestration in urban sectors and forest areas is of great attention due to its concerns about global climate change. In the present investigation aboveground carbon sequestration potential of six year young age Emblica officinalis, Mangifera indica, Tamarindus indica, Achras sapota, Annona retiaculata and Annona squamosa species from the university campus of Aurangabad is measured. The aboveground biomass rate of carbon sequestered was estimated using ash method. The percentage of carbon content in the aboveground and below ground biomass i.e. leaves, stem, branches, bark and root of Emblica officinalis were 43.67%, 52.89%, 53.91%, 53.59% and 55.68% respectively, in Mangifera indica were 49.28%, 50.65%, 50.43%, 52.11 and 53.88% carbon respectively, in Tamarindus indica were 53.47%, 57.53%, 56.84%, 55.85% and 54.63% carbon respectively, in Achras sapota were 53.63%, 52.4%, 53.72%, 48.42% and 49.52% carbon respectively, Annona retiaculata were 53.67, 57.24%, 55.24 53.08% and 51.62% respectively, Annona squamosa there were 52.08%, 55.09%, 55.33%, 56.01% and 52.04 respectively. The total above ground biomass carbon stalk per hectare as estimated for Emblica officinalis was 33.07 Kg C ha-1, in Mangifera indica it was 30.6 Kg C ha-1 and in Tamarindus indica it was 36.96 Kg C ha-1 and in Achras sapota were 12.86 Kg C ha-1 in Annona retiaculata was 83.1 Kg Cha-1 and for Annona squamosa it was 73.5 Kg C ha-1 in University campus.
