Abstract
One of the most feared issues of the twenty-first century is global warming. According to some estimates, carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming. A landscape's most important components are trees because of their biomass and diversity. Furthermore, since 50% of their total biomass is carbon itself, they are significant sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The goal of the current study is to determine the natural carbon storage potential of thirty the nine tree species using non-destructive methods. Carbon removing method from the earth's atmosphere that has been harmed by increasing amounts of dioxide in the atmosphere along with other "greenhouse" gases is known as carbon sequestration.The present study reported that Celastrus robustus (6114.079 kg), Terminalia arjuna (6002.236 kg), Albizia lebbeck (4931.837 kg), Swietenia mahagoni (4921.088 kg) are with high efficiency tosequester atmospheric CO2.The growth of the plant, the unique traits of the particular tree species, wood density and the growing conditions all affect the rate of carbon sequestration. Because of their greater size, volume and long-lasting storage capabilities such as the branches, roots, leaves and the organic matter of the soil in which they grow, trees store the majority of the atmospheric carbon. All the listed plant have broad utilitarian value such as oxygen production, air quality maintenance and aesthetic value in addition to narrow utilitarian value (used as food, fodder and medicine). Therefore, the Carbon sequestration estimates for all the species falling within this range reveal that they are judiciously used in aesthetic rejuvenation since they are gradationally excellent for planting in areas that are polluted for landscape design and environmental optimization.
