Impact Assessment of Soil and Water Conservation Measures on Carbon Sequestration: A Case Study for the Tropical Watershed Using Advanced Geospatial Techniques

A sustainable method for protecting natural resources is the adoption of recommended soil and water conservation (SWC) measures. SWC measures are well recognized their effective protection harvesting. Unfortunately, significance in climate change mitigation has yet to receive global attention. The present study was conducted highlight applicability carbon management watersheds. In this study, impact on land cover, erosion, loss, sequestration were investigated using advanced techniques remote sensing (RS) geographic information systems (GIS). Central Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth (MPKV) campus watershed, located rainfed region Maharashtra, India. watershed already treated with various scientifically planned Following implementation average annual loss reduced from 18.68 9.41 t ha−1yr−1 348.71 205.52 kgC ha−1yr−1. It found that deep continuous contour trenches (DCCT) constructed barren, forest, horticultural have rates 0.237, 0.723, 0.594 C ha−1yr−1, respectively, 0–30 cm depth soil. Similarly, compartment bunds agricultural a rate 0.612 These findings can be great importance planning climate-resilient
