摘要：Trees remove atmospheric carbon through photosynthesis, that stores a tremendous amount of carbon intheir structures. They act as a major CO 2 sink which captures carbon from the atmosphere and stores it inthe form of fixed biomass. Therefore, growing trees in the urban areas having a potential role regarding theaccumulation of atmospheric CO 2 in the form of biomass. Thus, the present investigation was carried out tocalculate the carbon sequestration of 38 standing tree species in Shivaji University campus. The biomassand total organic carbon of standing trees is estimated by the non destructive method. The population ofGliricidia maculate is more in the university campus but it sequestrates the carbon in very less amount(0.329 tones/year) while the Ficus racemosa species sequestrated more carbon (65.367 tones/year).
