Abstract
A survey-based study on carbon stock, carbon assimilation and carbon credit of teak plantation was conducted on existing teak plantation of Dr Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Agriculture University, Dapoli, dist Ratnagiri, Maharashtra during 2020-21. The growth data of 318 teak trees from experimental plot were collected and carbon in trees was quantified by non-destructive method using allometric equation. The average girth at breast height (GBH) of trees was recorded 21.03 cm and height 10.13 m under the plantation. Carbon stock of 6 years-old age plantation was found 15.60 tonnes/ha and CO2 assimilation or offset by biomass 57.25 tonnes/ha. It was concluded that the carbon sequestration potential of teak and its growth within 6 years was optimum at Konkan coastal zone.
