Climate Change Alleviation for Sustainable Progression: Floristic Prospects and Arboreal Avenues as a Viable Sequestration Tool

The change in climatic conditions has resulted in a series of events, such as melting polar ice and rising sea levels, endangering plants and animals, agriculture, and livelihood patterns. Mitigation measures to stabilize or reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide are needed, and bio-fixation of carbon from the atmosphere is a key step. This book discusses the role of vegetation in carbon sequestration, the physical attributes governing climate, historical account of climate change, impacts, eco-strategies, mechanism of carbon sources and sinks, carbon credits, and REDD+. It is a useful and comprehensive guide for academics, researchers, policy makers, and environmental stakeholders.

The dramatic shift in climatic conditions has set off a chain of events, ranging from the melting of polar ice to the soaring rise of sea levels. This has had a profound impact on low-lying coastal areas, putting plants and animals at risk, disrupting agriculture and livelihood patterns, and even triggering the emergence of diseases such as dengue and malaria. Given the urgency of the situation, it is imperative that we take action to stabilize or reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. One crucial step is the bio-fixation of carbon from the atmosphere, which this book aims to explore.

The introductory chapters of the book delve into the understanding of the physical factors that shape Earth's climate, providing a historical account of climate change and its impacts on various environments. It also discusses eco-strategies to combat climate change, emphasizing the role of vegetation in carbon sequestration.

In subsequent chapters, the book delves into the intricate mechanisms of carbon sources and sinks, carbon credits, and REDD+, providing a comprehensive overview of these topics. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to exploring climate change and phonological variability, the clean development mechanism, and the economic stability achieved through natural resource management.

This book is designed to serve as a valuable resource for academics, researchers, policy makers, and environmental stakeholders. It offers a comprehensive guide to the floristic and arboreal potential of sequestering carbon dioxide, catering to the diverse needs of teaching and research. By shedding light on the role of vegetation in carbon sequestration, this book contributes to our understanding of the critical challenges we face in mitigating climate change and creating a more sustainable future.
