Assessment reveals carbon reserves in eucalyptus and other species in Bahawalpur's irrigated forests, suggesting improved management can boost carbon stock.
Key Points
Carbon sequestration in eucalyptus biomass reached 160.08 Mgha-1, showcasing its dominance in carbon storage.
The average carbon reserve in the upper story was found to be 60.19 Mgha-1, indicating significant potential for CO2 mitigation.
Using sampling plots and allometric equations, researchers calculated carbon reserves in various tree species effectively.
Enhancing carbon sequestration in Punjab's forests may require targeted scientific studies and improved management practices.
