Agroforestry has great potential for carbon (C) sequestration among different land uses of the Himalayan region, India. However, our knowledge of C sequestration in particular, agroforestry system around the world is poor. Therefore, we conducted a study to understand biomass accumulation and carbon allocation in different components of the agroforestry system. The highest stem biomass was recorded in Eucalyptus tereticornis (69.43 ± 0.90 Mg ha–1), branch biomass in Populus deltoids (5.04 ± 0.35 Mg ha–1), leaf biomass also in P. deltoids (2.21 ± 0.12 Mg ha–1), and ischolar_main biomass in Albizia procera (14.01 ± 0.44 Mg ha–1). The highest (81.01%) C allocation was recorded in the stem of Toona ciliate, branch of P. deltoids (5.73%), leaves of E. tereticornis (2.93%) and ischolar_main of Anthocephalus cadamba (16.83%). The highest CO2< mitigation (160.5 ± 2.55 Mg CO2 ha–1) and C sequestration (45.33 ± 0.60 Mg ha–1) were recorded in E. tereticornis. The highest wheat crop biomass (11.85 ± 0.23 Mg ha–1) and C stock (3.59 ± 0.05 Mg ha–1) were recorded in P. deltiodes. However, soil carbon stock was recorded in E. tereticornis (37.5 ± 3.52 Mg ha–1). Thus, trees on farmlands with crops are suitable for biomass production and C allocation in different components under changing climatic scenarios.Keywords

The composition of species can play an essential role in reducing the atmospheric carbon dioxide. Forest trees are an important part of the functioning of the terrestrial ecosystem, predominantly in the cycling of carbon. However, tree physiology is much less studied than crop physiology for several reasons: a large number of species, difficulty in measuring photosynthesis of tall trees or forest species. This study aims to establish the relationship between physiological plant functional traits (photosynthesis rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, leaf chlorophyll and carotenoid content) with soil carbon stock in Pinus roxburghii forest of Garhwal Himalaya. The present findings revealed that photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid content positively correlated to the soil carbon stock. The different regression models also showed that photosynthesis rate with water-use efficiency, stomatal conductance and carotenoid content is a good predictor of soil carbon stock in Pinus roxburghii forest. Physiological plant functional characteristics are thus crucial for regulating the carbon cycle and ecosystem functioning in Garhwal Himalaya.Keywords
