Sarg) Forest on Two Contrasting Aspects in Kumaun Central Himalaya between 1650-1860 m Elevation Harshit Pant hrshtpant@gmail.com 1 Ashish Tewari 1 Department of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, D. S. B. Campus, Kumaun University, Nainital The tree density for Chir Pine forests on the southern aspect was 1676.66 indi. /ha and on northern aspect 1026.66 indi. /ha. The tree biomass on southern aspect was 252.65 t ha-1 and on northern aspect it was 453.58 t ha-1. The tree biomass accumulation rate on the southern aspect was lower than the northern aspect. The forest carbon stock on the southern aspect was 120.0 t ha-1 compared to 215.45 t ha-1 on the northern aspect. The carbon sequestration rate on the northern aspect was also lower than southern aspect. http://pubs.sciepub.com/aees/1/6/2/aees-1-6-2.pdf aspectbiomassgirth-classtree density
