当前世界环境

神圣的小树林是那些与当地人民的宗教和传统价值观和信仰有关的森林斑块。生长在树林附近的植物被称为圣物。圣林包括一些特有的、濒危的和生态上重要的植物物种。换句话说，圣林是生物多样性的自然保护单位。由于当地人民强烈的宗教和神话信仰，神圣的树林和神圣的植物受到保护和保存。他们的信仰和他们的社会传统一样坚定。在树林里举行的宗教和文化仪式给予了它保护，并帮助保持神圣的树林处于完美无缺的状态，确保其植物得到维护。众所周知，树木每天都在被砍伐，另一方面，由于宗教和文化信仰，生长在神圣树林附近的神圣树木不会受到砍伐的威胁。因此，圣树或圣林在以生物量形式封存大气中的二氧化碳方面具有潜在的作用。对神木树种生物量和固碳量的估算一直采用非破坏性方法。 The main focus of the current article is on estimating the carbon sequestration of sacred tree species in sacred groves found in selected areas Mundra Taluka of Kachchh District. Total 32 sacred groves were recorded from 18 villages which cover approximately 12.77 hectares of land area. Carbon sequestration of 172 individuals of 16 tree species was estimated through the standard method. Ficus benghalensis L. sequestered maximum carbon, i.e., 5.48 tones followed by Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (4.34 tones), Syzigium cumini (L.) Skeels (3.79 tones) While the lowest carbon sequestration was recorded in Pithecellobium dulce (Roxb.) Benth (0961 tones), Prosopsis cineraria (L.) Druce (0.907 tones), Acacia catechu Willd. (0.39 tones) and Tamarindus indica L. (0.173 tones).
