The study was carried out in two dominant forest types i.e., Bnaj oak and Chir pine forests to assess vegetation analysis, physico-chemical characteristics and soil organic carbon stock. The study suggests that in both the forest types, the tree density and total basal cover of forests decreased with increasing altitudes. The soil condition of Banj-oak forest was comparatively better than the Chir-pine forest. The carbon stock along altitudes between the forest showed decreasing trend as 72 8, 70.4 11.2 and 64 5.6 for Bnaj oak and 60 3.8, 50.4 7.2 and 49.6 8 t C ha-1 for Chir pine forests....
