Community Plantation as a Tool for Carbon Sequestration: A Study of Soil–Climate– Plant Interrelationships
Abstract
This study examines the role of community plantations in enhancing carbon sequestration and promoting environmental sustainability, with a focus on Belkheda village in the Amravati district of Maharashtra. It highlights how environmental factors— such as soil properties, climatic conditions, and biodiversity—interact to influence the capacity of vegetation to absorb and store atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂). Increasing CO₂ levels due to human activities like deforestation, industrialization, and urbanization have intensified climate change, making carbon sequestration a critical mitigation strategy. The research evaluates carbon storage in plant biomass and soil, emphasizing the importance of healthy soils, adequate moisture, and suitable temperature for optimal plant growth and carbon capture. Community participation in plantation activities is identified as a key factor in improving ecological balance, restoring degraded lands, and increasing green cover. The study also considers biodiversity and local climatic conditions to assess ecosystem resilience and sustainability. Findings suggest that well-managed community plantations act as effective carbon sinks, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas concentrations while improving soil fertility, water retention, and air quality. Overall, the study underscores the significance of integrating environmental, social, and ecological approaches to achieve long-term climate change mitigation and sustainable rural development.
