This study was carried out to investigate total carbon sequestration in ten dominant tree species grown in
Rajiv Gandhi South Campus, Banaras Hindu University, Barkaccha, Mirzapur, India having an area of
2760 acres. To estimate biomass from selective tree species, it is not advisable to cut them for this reason,
non-destructive method is employed. The essential parameters required for the measurement of biomass
and carbon stock is height, girth and wood density. Height measurement is based on shadow method and
girth taken as Diameter at Breast Height (dbh) as 1.36 meter high above the ground. The study revealed
that the height (0.70* *) and girth (0.93* *) showed positive correlation with carbon stock of selective tree
species and has advantage over destructive method used for biomass and carbon stock estimation. Carbon
storage in individual tree species varies from 0.04 tonnes (Acasia catechu) to 25.65 tonnes (Madhuca longifolia)
