Carbon sequestration potential of eight recommended land-use systems of arid western Rajasthan was compared. Biomass C stock was maximum in farm forestry of Acacia tortilis (31.4 Mg C ha–1) followed by
Prosopis cinerariaand Hardwickia binatabased silvoarable systems (8.8 and 10.6 Mg C ha–1). Soil C
stock was also maximum in farm forestry (47.6 Mg C ha–1) followed by Ziziphus based systems
(32.5–33.9 Mg C ha
–1
). About 50–78% of additional
soil C stock was in the form of soil inorganic carbon.
The total C sequestered (biomass + soil) over a period
of nineteen years was in the order: farm forestry
(49.80) > silvoarable systems (11.0–13.3) > hortipasture system (8.3) > agri-horti (5.5), silvopasture
(5.4) and sole pasture (5.3) compared to –1.0 Mg C ha
–1
in sole cropping
