- Observation A total of 19 tree species belonging to 9 families and 12 genera were documented in the agroforestry systems.
- Observation The total GHG emission potential of the extracted material is 64.35 tC and 235.95 tCO2.
- Observation The maximum CO2 emission came from Salix alba (28.05 tCO2).
- Observation A total of 143 quintals of biomass is extracted annually from the 19 tree species for fuelwood, fodder and small timber.
- Observation The annual biomass extraction results in an average avoided deforestation potential of 75.26 m3.
- Observation The highest offset value, US$ 1492.79/Mg, was recorded for Horti-silvi-pastoral systems.
- Observation The offset value for Homegardens was US$ 1414.51/Mg, second after Horti-silvi-pastoral systems.
- Observation The minimum offset value, US$ 626.38/Mg, was recorded for Boundary plantations.
- Observation On average a single sampled household helps to sequester 4.7 Mg of carbon annually.
- Observation A cluster-based approach bundling villages in the entire Ganderbal district would sequester approximately 213,196 Mg CO2e.
- Observation The cluster-based approach in the Ganderbal district would yield US$ 536,620 per annum.
