Abstract

The study assesses the growth and biochemical responses of Simarouba glauca (D.C.) and Syzigium cumini (L.) skeels to elevated levels of carbon dioxide under controlled growth conditions. A standardization study, excluding plants, was also undertaken for a period of 15 days to assess the resultant flux of CO2 associated with the growth chambers. The study revealed that the day flux of CO2 in the treated chamber differed from the control, in both the plants. Percentage day and night flux in CO2 in the treated chamber having Simarouba glauca was higher than that of Syzigium cumini. Simarouba glauca was noted to be more efficient in carbon assimilation than Syzigium cumini which is evident from the CO2 consumption rate of the plant during the day, increased plant height, stem thickness, leaf area, carbohydrates, minerals, plant carbon, C/N ratios. Hence Simarouba glauca can be promoted as an avenue tree with higher potentialities in carbon sequestration.
