“…The lowest CO 2 sequestration was noticed in coconut monocrop (93.8 t ha -1 ). These results are in accordance with the research findings of Bhagya et al (2017) who opined that coconut-based cropping system sequestered more carbon as compared to coconut alone. Trees are carbon reservoir on earth and in nature, forest ecosystem act as a reservoir of carbon and store a huge quantity of carbon and regulate the carbon cycle by the exchange of CO 2 from the atmosphere.…”

“…The coconut-based cropping systems, involving the cultivation of compatible crops especially fruit crops in the interspaces will offer considerable scope for increasing production and productivity per unit area, time and input by more efficient utilization of resources like sunlight, soil, water and labour. Besides, it will mimic a forest system and will have large scope for storage of carbon and fixing of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thus playing a pivotal role in sustaining the environment (Bhagya et al, 2017). Of late, humans can manage soils to accumulate carbon or avoid high losses of it with cultivation (Lal, 2010).…”

A field experiment was carried out at Regional Coconut Research Station, Bhatye (DBSKKV, Dapoli), Maharashtra (India) during 2013-2018 to study the productivity and carbon sequestration potential as influenced by integrated nutrient management (INM) practices in coconut based cropping system. INM practices viz., T1- 75 per cent of RDF+25 per cent of N through organic recycling with vermicompost, T2- 50 per cent of RDF+50 per cent of N through organic recycling with vermicompost + vermiwash application + bio-fertilizer application + in situ green manuring (cowpea), T3- fully organic: 100 per cent N through organic recycling with vermicompost + vermiwash application + bio-fertilizer application + in situ green manuring (cowpea) and green leaf manuring + composted coir pith, husk incorporation and mulching with coconut leaves were imposed in coconut based cropping system involving nutmeg, cinnamon, banana and pineapple. For comparison, T4- control: monocrop of coconut with recommended NPK and organic manure was maintained. Four treatments were laid out in a block of 0.45 ha area each. Among the different INM practices, treatment T1 sequestered the highest amount of above ground (coconut + nutmeg) carbon stock (31.1 t ha-1) followed by T2 (30.3 t ha-1) and T3 (27.3 t ha-1). In contrast, the treatment T4 - coconut monocrop alone had sequestered 25.6 t ha-1. The below-ground soil carbon stock in the rhizosphere of different crops was the highest in the nutrient management under T3 followed by T2 and T1, whereas, it was the lowest in coconut monocrop. The productivity of the system was higher in the intercropping garden. The coconut nut yield (5-year average) was higher yield under T1 (147.2 nuts palm-1 year-1), followed by T2 (138.4 nuts palm-1 year-1) and T3 (123.6 nuts palm-1 year-1), whereas, monocrop had recorded a significantly lower number of nuts (97.2 nuts palm-1 year-1).

“…The carbon di oxide sequestration potential of five years plantations found to be similar with the studies on coconut with intercropping by Kumar and Maheswarappa [40]. The carbon di oxide sequestration of ten years plantations was found to be two fold decrease in carbon di oxide sequestration reported by Bhagya and Maheswarappa [21] in coconut mono-cropping system. The atmospheric humidity also strongly influences oilpalm photosynthetic capacity.…”

“…Results on above ground carbon stock are in line with the study by Suresh et al [31] in adult oil palm hybrids. The above ground carbon sequestration in oil palm is comparatively lower than coconut inter cropped with mango and Jamun [21] which reveals intercropping sequesters carbon in higher amounts. The carbon stock in oil palm plantations recorded is similar to coffee inter cropped with tree plantations [32].…”

Elaeis guineensis is one of the potential carbon sequestering perennial crop by biological means. It has helped in the mitigating global warming and climatic fluctuations. The main objective of our study is to evacuate the hidden potential treasure of oil palm in carbon sequestration and vegetable oil yield. In this study we selected Tenera hybrids oil palm plantations in Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu with standard management practices. It had been selected in the year 2019 and assessed for carbon sequestration potential and Fresh fruit bunch yield by non-destructive carbon stock assessment methods and standard estate practices for harvest. In our study the carbon sequestration is higher in trunks found to be 15.3 t C/ha (tons carbon per hectare) in 5 years and 26.6 t C/ha in 10 years while roots sequestered carbon for about 4.0 t C/ha in 5 years and 6.93 t C/ha in 10 years plantations. The fronds sequesters about 1.39 t C/ha in 5 years and 2.1 t C/ha in 10 years oil palm plantations while the fresh fruit bunch yield in 5 years and 10 years plantations were found to be 7.60 t/ha/year (tons per hectare per year) and 12.31 t/ha/year respectively. The present study evidenced that the biomass production and fresh fruit bunch yield in oil palm proportionally increases with the age group. This study holds that the higher biomass production which increases carbon sequestration and yields in oil palm helps in altering of the microclimate and to increase the economic benefits of farming communities.

Coastal wetlands have disproportionately high carbon densities, known as blue carbon, compared to most terrestrial ecosystems. Mangroves and their blue carbon stocks are at risk globally from Land Use and Land Cover Change (LULCC) activities such as aquaculture, alongside biophysical disturbances such as sea-level rise and cyclones. Global estimates of carbon emissions from mangrove loss have been previously unable to differentiate between the variable impacts of different drivers of loss. This Review discusses the impacts that different LULCC activities and biophysical disturbances have on carbon stocks (biomass and soil) and carbon fluxes (CO 2 and CH 4 ). The dynamics of carbon stocks and fluxes depends on the type of LULCC; aquaculture often results in biomass and soil carbon removal, and some forms of agriculture can substantially increase methane emissions.
