Abstract

Accumulating above-ground biomass (AGB) and conservation of biodiversity are two major services provided by any ecosystem and homegardens are no exceptions. The permanent structure of a homegarden is owing to its perennial tree-community which steadily builds up and maintains the tree diversity and AGB accumulation. Being a manmade agroforestry system, humans play a vital role in mediating each component of homegarden ecosystem including its carbon stock and biodiversity through management of the tree community.
