Agroforestry systems offer important opportunities for creating synergies between both adaptation and mitigation actions. Conversion to invigorating land uses and implementation of recommended management practices can reduce atmospheric carbon because global warming is inevitable. The experiment was conducted with non-destructive methods to analyze the potential of biomass status and carbon sequestration under sustainable land use systems. Carbon sequestration through biomass seems to be a cheap and viable option. Their potential of locking carbon differs not only with the type of species, but also with the agro-climatic zones. Agriculture land use systems (Including Oryza sativa, Saccharum officinarum and Musa paradisiaca crops) per hectare contributed 21.98% and agroforestry land use systems contributed 37.75% carbon sequestration as compared to tree plantation land use systems as well as fast growing tree species such as Eucalyptus clones, Casuarina equisetifolia and Albizzia procera contributed significantly maximum carbon sequestered per year as compared to all land use systems. However, tree plantation sequester more carbon and hence are better option for reducing atmospheric carbon but they cannot be extended to very large areas due to population pressure and high demand of land for agriculture purposes. Therefore, agroforestry systems seem to be a better option and simultaneously harness the opportunity for biodiversity conservation and economic benefits to the society.
