The research was conducted to assess and compare the carbon stocks in both forests.The study focuses on the estimation of carbon of above ground trees and shrubs together with herbs/grasses and leaf litter as well as below ground trees (root).The tree volume was calculated by using allometric equation with the help of height and diameter (non-destructive method).The product of volume and dry wood density was the output for biomass.Herbs/grasses, shrubs and leaf litters biomass were estimated in laboratory by oven dry method and some conversion and unitary methods were used for exact estimation.Carbon stocks of vegetation as well as other category were estimated by considering default value as 0.43 of the total biomass.
