3 Materials and Method
The carbon sequestration study was undertaken to check the Total Carbon Stock
(TCS) of the campus wild trees and as well as planted avenue trees. The floras
irrespective of their growth form contribute to the carbon sequestration but it is also
true that comparatively matured trees contribute more to carbon sequestration. Apart
from vegetation‚ oceans are the greatest sink for carbon emissions. Unfortunately,
the management of carbon sequestration by oceans is not there in the hands of human
but better supervision of natural forest and promoting planting avenue trees in the
vacant land around institutions can easily lower the amounts of atmospheric carbon
