Biomass supply from agriculture, forestry, and sustainable cropping systems
Functional Composition, Biomass Production and Carbon Sequestration in Agroforestry Systems of the Middle Gangetic Plain and Vindhyan Region, India
Short Introductive summary
This study aimed to analyze and document the functional composition of dominant agroforestry systems in Mirzapur. It also aimed to quantify biomass production, evaluate carbon storage, carbon sequestration potential and assess the physico-chemical properties of soils under various agroforestry systems. The major systems were structurally identified and analyzed in the region such as agrisilviculture, agrihorticulture, agrisilvihorticulture, silvopastoral and hortipastoral. The principal land-use categories studied were agrisilviculture, agrihorticulture, open agriculture system and forest based system. In agrihorticulture system four combinations were studied (Aegle marmelos + Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, Annona squamosa + Pennisetum glaucum, Annona squamosa + Sesamum indicum, Psidium guajava + Sorghum bicolor), Similarly, under Agrisilviculture system, combinations such as Eucalyptus sp.+ Oryza sativa , Tectona grandis + Oryza sativa, Tectona grandis + Capsicum frutescens, Senegalia catechu + Oryza sativa). Soil samples collected from different systems were analyzed for pH, bulk density, porosity, water-holding capacity and available macronutrients (N, P, K) to assess variations.
