Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO) concentration crossed 400 ppm in 2015 from 279 ppm of preindustrial period. Similarly compared to preindustrial era, the methane (CH) concentration increased from 722 ppb to 1800 ppb and nitrous oxide (N.O) concentration from270 ppb to 323 ppb in 2011. Increasing GHGs concentration in the atmosphere has created radiative imbalance resulting in more energy from the sun entering than exiting the top of the earth's atmosphere. All the above, individually and collectively, adversely influence the total agriculture productivity. Increased awareness during 1990s about adverse effect of deforestation and other land-use changes on CO, stock coupled with more emphasis on afforestation checked rise in atmospheric carbon-di-oxide in the recent years.
