Abstract

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.
