The dynamic carbon accounting model CO2FIX was used for evaluating carbon stocks and estimate greenhouse gas mitigation through tree-based systems, outside the forest area, in Kupwara district of Kashmir valley India. Primary survey results revealed that on an average, there were about 135 trees per hectare, existing on farmers' field. Malus (33.75%), populus (29.91%), salix (14.32%), juglans (6.68%) and robinia (4.7%) were dominant tree species. Paddy and maize are the dominant kharif crops, whereas rabi season is dominated by oilseeds and fodder crops. The carbon sequestration potential, all the three pools simultaneously (viz. tree, crop and soil), of existing agroforestry systems (AFS) has been predicted as 0.88 Mg C ha-1 yr-1. AFS at district level are estimated to sequester 146,996 tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually, which may offset completely the greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture/irrigation sector on account of electricity consumption throughout the state of Jammu and Kashmir.Keywords

Ulmus villosa and Ulmus wallichiana are agroforestry tree species of the Kashmir valley, India. Low viability and less longevity of the seeds limit their propagation. The hardwood stem cuttings of both species were propagated in growing medium (soil, sand and a mixture of cocopeat : vermiculite : perlite) and treated with different indole-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations. The results showed maximum sprouting, ischolar_maining, survival, shoot length, ischolar_main length, and leaf area at 2500 and 2000 ppm IBA for U. villosa and U. wallichiana respectively. Moreover, with cocopeat : vermiculite : perlite 2 : 1 : 1, significant results were observed in both the species. The interaction between planting media and IBA concentration showed significant variance.Keywords
