Instability in Export of Onion in India

Vegetation and Soil Carbon Pools of Mixed Plantation of Acacia nilotica and Dalbergia sissoo under Social Forestry Scheme in Kurukshetra, India

“…Further, plantation forests are important sources of commercial forest products that alleviate the pressure on native forests and are viewed as an effective means of short-term carbon sequestration [23]. In India, the potential of short rotation forestry in sequestering carbon has been reported for poplar [5,24,25], eucalyptus, sal, teak [26,27], leucaena, albizzia and acacia [28] species with annual rates of accumulation of carbon ranging from 1 Mg C/ha/yr in sal to 11.8 Mg C/ha/yr in poplar in the Indo Gangetic regions under irrigated conditions. Tree based systems accumulate large amount of biomass and sequester substantial amount of carbon in perennial tree components.…”
