ABSTRACT
Trees and shrubs have the capacity to capture carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis through carbon fixation from the atmosphere. Owing to the continuous emission of these toxic gases by the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities, there is a huge increase in carbon dioxide concentrations. Carbon sequestration involves the capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere or capturing anthropogenic CO2 from large-scale stationary sources like power plants prior to its release to the atmosphere. Terrestrial sequestration of carbon dioxide involves all those processes of land management practices leading to the enhancement of the amount of carbon stored both in the soil and plant material for a long period of time. Carbon fixation in trees involves a micro-optimization process. The tree species not only exhibited variability in the carbon fixation, variability was also observed with the nitrogen and crude protein contents.
