The role of forests in mitigating the effect of climate change depends on the carbon sequestration potential and management. This study was conducted to estimate the carbon stock and its variation along the environmental gradients in Arba Minch Ground Water Forest. The data was collected from the field by measuring plants with a DBH of >5cm in quadrat plots of 10 X 20 m and the carbon stocks of each plant were analyzed by using allometric equations. From this study the mean total carbon stock density of Arba Minch Ground Water Forest was found to be 583.27 t ha-1, of which 829.12 t ha-1,...

Forests play critical roles in our life by providing both services and products(both timber and Non- timber forest products).However, Ethiopia does not have a data bank about carbon stock potential of the Forests in the country, despite of the Carbon project led by World vision which is in the opposite side of the study area. As a result, this work was conducted to provide basic information on the roles of Humbo forest in the mitigation activity of Climate Change, even though the non-woody parts of the forest were not included. This book can be used by every one with out any restriction,...

This Book is about developing allometric equation for two dominant tree species in Dryafro mountain Forest of Ethiopia. In order to develop the equation the study used FAO's guideline which was semi-destructive way of biomass estimation. The equations which developed have capacities to estimate the carbon sequestration potential of these particular tree species and the carbon sequestered in the trees will be powerful tool for climate change mitigation and sustainable forest management practice.

Forest plays an important role in global carbon cycle. With increasing concern for rising CO2 concentrations, the role of forests as long term carbon pool for assimilation of atmospheric CO2 is being increasingly realized. In this context, the current study aims to estimate the biomass production and carbon sequestration potential of Yeka Forest in the North of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The carbon stock in the different carbon pools and analysis of the influence of the environmental variables were studied by collecting the data using quadrat size of 10m X 20 m distributed along transect lines....
