Figure 15 depicts the loss of carbon sequestration of 433.43 Tg during 1985–2019 in
the forest, plantation, and agriculture sectors. The loss of 264 Tg carbon sequestration
potential during 1985–2019 emphasizes the need for prudent management activities
to curb the forest loss and improvement of carbon sequestration (Fig. 16). The grids
covered in districts of Bellary, Mysore, Chamarajanagar, Uttara Kannada, Kodagu
have witnessed higher transitions in carbon sequestration potential.
