Abstract

Carbon storage is a strategy that helps to reduce atmospheric carbon and reform of climate change consequences. In the present study, the carbon sequestration potential of the pharmaceutical industry _ Jashirmountain pastures Khalyfan Mahabad region, was studied. The study area Jashir site, four transects 100 m along each transect 5 randomly spaced 20 m plots, were carried out systematically. Jashir biomasses in all plots were measured by Cutting and weighing method. At the beginning and end of each transect, profiles in both 0-15 and 15-30 were drilled. Samples were sent to the laboratory and carbon storage rates for each of them were determined. The results indicate that in soil Jashir of Second depth, there is a greater proportion of carbon storage. Significant at the 5% level, there is a meaningful gap between air and ground carbon storage in biomass is observed. The contribution of carbon storage industries - pharmaceutical Jashir it is more than biomass.
