“…Through photosynthesis, the results are among other things, stored as biomass, allowing plants to grow larger or taller. This growth will continue until the vegetation stops growing physiologically or is harvested (Song et al, 2024;Wu et al, 2023;Zhou et al, 2023). With sustainable forests, more carbon (C) is stored and longer.…”

This study aims to determine biomass, carbon, carbon uptake, and oxygen production in the arboretum of PT. Arutmin Indonesia-NPLCT. The methods used are purposive sampling and allometrics. The plot size useda is 20 m 20 m with 12 plots measured. The area of the arboretum is 5.05 ha. Carbon stock measurement is done by multiplying biomass by a conversion rate of 0.47 (47%) while carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration is calculated by multiplying the average annual biomass growth by the conversion rate of 1.4667 obtained from the photosynthesis equation and oxygen production is measured based on conversion from carbon yield. Based on the results of the study, it showed that the biomass content of stands in the arboretum was 1,067.32 tons, carbon stocks were 501.64 tons, carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption was 1,565.45 tons, and oxygen production was 1,337.71 tons.

The Himalayan forests are a crucial global carbon reservoir contributing significantly to carbon mitigation efforts. Although situated within a singular climatic zone, Himalayan forests display diverse forest types within a short distance due to variations in altitudes, mountain ranges, slopes, and aspects. This study aimed to estimate ecosystem carbon storage (comprising plant biomass, deadwood, litter, and soil organic carbon (SOC), allocation, evaluate carbon sequestration and carbon credit potential in chir-pine (Pinus roxburghii Sarg.), deodar (Cedrus deodara (Roxb.) G.Don), oak (Quercus leucotrichophora A. Camus), and sal (Shorea robusta (Roth) forests in the central Himalaya. Volumetric equations were utilised across diverse tree species and supplemented by field sampling, particularly employing the quadrat method to quantify tree biomass. The carbon stocks within ecosystems varied considerably, ranging between 122.44 and 306.44 Mg C ha-1, with discernible differences among forest types, with oak forests exhibiting the highest carbon stock, followed by deodar and sal forests, and pine forests showing the lowest. The allocation of ecosystem carbon stocks among different components, including tree (21–34%), soil (64–77%), deadwood (0.9–0.35%), and litter (0.46–1.20%), demonstrated significant variability. The Mantel test revealed the significant influence of environmental factors on carbon storage. Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration ranged from 448.98 (pine forest) to 1123.16 (oak forest) Mg CO2 ha−1, while carbon credit values ranged from 1346.96 EUR ha-1 (pine forests) to 3379.49 EUR ha-1 (oak forest). In the study, dominant trees in various forest types contribute to higher carbon storage in their biomass and forest soil, resulting in greater carbon credits. Present research evaluates the ecosystem carbon storage, CO2 sequestration potential, and carbon credit valuation for major forests in the central Himalaya. By incorporating these findings into forest management plans and strategies, the carbon sequestration potential and carbon trading of the central Himalayan forest ecosystem in India can be enhanced.
