Not AvailableA case study was conducted to determine growth, biomass production, carbon storage and soil regeneration by 9 years old plantations grown on water logged saline soils of IGNP area of Rajasthan. The growth of Acacia nilotica was better followed by Eucalyptus. The above ground biomass was highest in Acacia nilotica (132.1 Mg ha-1) followed by Eucalyptus spp. (77.6 Mg ha-1) and Acacia tortilis (40.6 Mg ha-1). The Maximum Carbon storage was observed by A. nilotica (66.5 Mg ha-1) followed by Eucalyptus spp. (38.8Mg ha-1). The soil organic carbon increased from 0.11 % to 0.47 % in Acacia nilotica and Eucalyptus and 0.27% in Acacia tortilis. A significant reduction in ECe ,SAR and ESP was observed due to plantations. Maximum reduction in ECe was observed under the plantations of Acacia nilotica followed by Eucalyptus and Acacia tortilis.Not Availabl
