The main
objective of this study was to assess the carbon stock of tree vegetation from
the tropical forests of Bodamalai hills located in India. The tree
carbon stock determined by non-destructive method was 10.94 ± 3.57 tC/ha,
and it ranged from 3.53 tC/ha to 38.92 tC/ha for the ten 0.5 ha transects
sampled.
The tree species
Albizia amara shared maximum carbon stock followed by Ficus benghalensis,
Euphorbia antiquorum, Tamarindus indica and Strychnos potatorum.
Statistical
analysis revealed that the carbon stock (tC/ha) varied significantly (ANOVA:
F=22.601, p<0.001) among the three forest types recognized, and the
mixed-deciduous forest had high carbon stock 30.81 tC/ha.
