Global climate change is one of the burning issues of present time where carbon has an important role to play. There is growing local to international concern over the increase of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere over the last decades. Organic carbon sequestration trapping by plants is thought to be a promising means for reducing atmospheric CO2, an important green house gas. Bangladesh is now facing and will be very adversely affected due to the adverse affect of global climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded in a 2001 report that, by 2100, average global surface temperature will raise 1.40C to 5.80C above 1990 levels. Increase in temperature is a major concern for future when anybody considers climate change.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This research investigates the impact of climate change on the germination, growth, and organic carbon stock of three important indigenous tree species: Albizia procera, Cassia fistula, and Lagerstroemia speciosa. The study aims to identify climate-friendly tree species and assess their potential for sustainable forest management in Bangladesh.
- Assessing the sensitivity of germination, growth, and organic carbon stock to different temperatures.
- Examining the impact of climate change scenarios on the regeneration of these species.
- Identifying climate-friendly tree species suitable for afforestation, reforestation, and roadside plantations.
- Determining the potential contribution of these species to carbon sequestration and mitigating climate change.
- Evaluating the socio-economic implications of climate change on the utilization of these species.
