The estimation of carbon density of high altitude forests was carried out at five different sites along an elevational gradient from 1550 m to 3550 m in a part of Kedamath Wildlife Sanctuary,which is one of the largest protected areas of the Garhwal Himalaya,India.Among the study sites the above ground biomass density (AGBD) ranged from 202.72 Mg·ha-1 (Site 5) to 718.75 Mg·ha-1 (Site 1) and below ground biomass density (BGBD) from 61.00 Mg·ha-1 (Site 5) to 203.04 Mg·ha-1 (Site 1).The total biomass density (TBD) also followed similar trend,where the lowest value (263.73 Mg·ha-1) was observed at Site 5 and the highest (921.79 Mg·ha-1) at Site 1.The total carbon density (TCD) ranged from 131.86 Mg·ha-1 (Site 5) to 460.89 Mg·ha-1 (Site 1),which indicates that the carbon density of forests reduces with increasing elevation.
