The present study reports the potential of carbon (C) storage in traditional agroforestry systems (i.e., a set of age-old agroforestry systems) under waterlogged environmental conditions from north-eastern India. An experiment was conducted in a farmer’s field and further used CO₂FIX model, allometric equations, and destructive sampling methods to know the potential of C sequestration. In this study area, agroforestry system is dominated by woody perennials like Areca catechu, Cocos nucifera, Mangifera indica, Artocarpus heterophyllus, Melocanna baccifera, and Colocasia esculenta as annual crop component. Need-based management of the drainage system has been built-up by making broad/narrow bunds for maintaining water levels at different stages of plant growth. The total annual carbon storage potential of this traditional agroforestry system was estimated as 103.760±8.630 t ha⁻¹year⁻¹. The highest annual carbon storage potential (97.900±8.090 t ha⁻¹year⁻¹) was recorded in annual crop components (i.e., Colocasia) followed by trees and its underlaid soil (4.250±0.340 t ha⁻¹year⁻¹) and lowest for bamboos (1.610± 0. 200 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹). However, the estimated carbon stored, annually, was 24.992±1.502 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ in which Colocasia share maximum contribution (19.600±1.080 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹) followed by trees + soil (3.798±0.229 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹) and the minimum contribution from bamboos (1.594±0.193 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹). Moreover, total carbon loss from harvesting of this system was 78.768±7.128 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹. The study, therefore, recommends this agroforestry system for other waterlogged ecosystems at regional and/or global scale under a warm per-humid climate for both livelihood opportunities and environmental sustainability.

本研究报告了在印度东北部涝灾的环境条件下，传统农林业系统（即一套古老的农林业系统）中碳（C）储存的潜力。在一个农民的领域进行了一项实验，并进一步使用了CO ₂ FIX模型，异速方程和破坏性采样方法来了解碳固存的潜力。在这个研究区域，农林业系统以多年生木本植物为主，如槟榔，椰树，印度芒果，面包果，甜菜根和Co木。作为年度作物的组成部分。通过建立宽阔/狭窄的外滩来维持植物生长的不同阶段的水位，已经建立了基于需求的排水系统管理。该传统农林业系统的年度总碳储存潜力估计为103.760±8.630 t ha ^-1 year ^-1。年度碳储量潜力最高（97.900±8.09​​0 t ha - ¹年^-1）记录在年度作物组成部分（即香芋）中，其次是树木及其地下土壤（4.250±0.340 t ha - ¹年^-1），最低用于竹子（1.610±0. 200 t公顷- ¹年^-1）。然而，估计碳储存，每年为24.992±1.502吨公顷^-1年^-1其中香芋份额贡献最大（19.600±1.080吨公顷^-1年^-1其次是树木+土）（3.798±0.229吨公顷^{- 1}年^-1）和竹子的最小贡献量（1.594±0.193 t ha - ¹年^-1）。此外，该系统收获后的总碳损失为78.768±7.128 t ha - ¹年^-1。因此，研究建议在温暖和湿润的气候下，在区域和/或全球范围内，将这种农林业系统用于其他涝渍生态系统，以谋求生计机会和环境可持续性。
