Review Paper on Roles of Forests in Hydrological and Carbon Sequestration

Abstract

The sustainable use of the biodiversity is very important for every life. Forests play a significant role in the global carbon cycle. The relationship among the forest rainfall and water yield, carbon sequestration and other watershed ecosystem services intensifies worldwide. Clearing of the forest decreases the evaporation and increases the stream and vice versa. To reduce the carbon emission the sustainable uses of the biodiversity is the crucial issue today. The governmental policy and the international convention like Kyoto protocol agreement implementation are very important to reduce the emission by minimizing deforestation and enhancing vegetation plantation.
