This study estimated carbon sequestration in a Litsea-cassava agroforestry model in Vietnam's Central Highlands. Measurements of 22 Litsea sample plots of varying ages and densities were taken to determine biomass, carbon content, and CO2 absorption. Results showed optimal CO2 sequestration occurred with 2-3 Litsea shoots per stump, harvesting after 10 years, and absorption of 25-84 tons of CO2 per hectare. However, further study is needed to estimate underground carbon storage. The research aims to promote payment programs for the environmental services of agroforestry models.
