Abstract

This study examines the effects of diverse land use and land cover (LULC) types on soil physico-chemical properties and carbon sequestration potential in the northern Madhupur Tract, Bangladesh. Soil samples were collected from seven LULC types – sal forest, social forest, orchard, bare land, agricultural land, protected area, and built-up area across three depths (0–15 cm, 16–40 cm, and 41–70 cm) between April and September 2022. Key parameters analyzed included texture, bulk density, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable potassium, available sulfur, organic carbon (OC), and soil organic carbon (SOC). Soil texture ranged from clay loam to clay. Bulk density was the lowest in built-up areas (1.57–1.62 g cm-³) and the highest in protected areas (1.97–2.20 g cm-³). Orchard soils had the highest surface moisture (23.26%). Surface soils showed the highest EC (0.82 dSm-1), total N (0.11%), available P (118.6 ppm), and OC (1.07%), while pH increased with depth, peaking at 6.15. SOC stock differed significantly among land uses (F = 6.56, p < 0.05), highest in social forests (138.67 Mg ha-¹) and built-up areas (134.04 Mg ha-¹). Corresponding CO‚  mitigation potentials were 508.93 Mg C ha-¹ and 491.34 Mg C ha-¹. Agricultural land had the lowest SOC stock (85.31 Mg ha-¹). Enhancing carbon storage through better land management is vital for sustainability and climate resilience.

Abstract

Purpose: The proposed livelihood framework approach facilitates an understanding of the linkages between char livelihood strategies, asset status, and the way of using available natural resources. Research methodology: The study was conducted by a Questionnaire interview, Focus Group Discussion, Key Informant Interviews, and secondary data. Climatic factors like varying temperature, rainfall, sunshine, and wind speed were detailed studied. Results: In this study, we identified several indicators viz., five livelihood capitals (human, natural, social, physical, and financial) that are vulnerable now but have a prospectus, climatic disaster, and threat that faced with char dwellers are floods, riverbank erosion, thunder, heatwave, cold wave, and erratic rainfall. Finally, the present status of the Ecosystem Services negatively impacts livelihood and agricultural practices. Limitations: Sustainable livelihoods do not support analysis of political economy factors and the future difficulties of climate change are a significant worry for the reasonable development of the locale are the major limitations of the research. Contribution: This study will be contributing achievement of ecosystem management the executives in agricultural nations like Bangladesh e.g. subject to Good Governance and the current strength of biodiversity and environment elements.
