dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Floristic composition and rate of carbon sequestration potential of plantation forest ecosystem mid-hills of Himachal Pradesh” were carried out at the different sites in and nearby vicinity of Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan located at 30° 50’ 30” to 30° 52’ 0” N latitude and the longitude 77° 8’ 30” and 77° 11’ 30” E in Himachal Pradesh lying at an elevation of about 900-1300 a.m.s.l. The area falls under Champion and Seth’s forest type 9C1- Lower Himalayan Chir Pine Forests. For conducting the experiment under plantation ecosystem, different plantation were selected as treatments, which included; Quercus leucotrichophora, Pinus roxburghii, Acacia catechu, Acacia mollisima, Albizia procera, Alnus nitida, Eucalyptus tereticornis and Ulmus villosa plantation. Biomass allocated by different vegetation type was estimated by using non-distructive method of sampling. The result of experiment reveals that Lantana camara was the dominating shrubs species while Bidens pilosa was the dominant herb in almost all the plantation forest ecosystem. Moreover, the Acacia catechu had the highest positive impact on the soil physico-chemical properties. The maximum biomass (305.43 Mg ha-1) recorded in Ulmus villosa. Vegetation carbon density in plantation forest ecosystem followed the order; Ulmus villosa> Albizia procera> Eucalyptus tereticornis> Quercus leucotrichophora> Alnus nitida > Pinus roxburghii> Acacia mollisima>Acacia catechu. Rate of carbon sequestration and carbon mitigation follow the similar trend: Ulmus villosa> Albizia procera> Quercus leucotrichophora> Alnus nitida > Acacia mollisima> Pinus roxburghii> Acacia catechu >Eucalyptus tereticornis. | en_US |
