Global climate changing has been a focus for a long time in many fields, the increasing CO, concentration in atmosphere was considered as one main driving force for global wanning. Carbon sequestration through biomass is considered as the most promising approach to mitigate the climate change. The present study was conducted to estimate the biomass and carbon allocation in different components often old trees viz., Simarouba glauca and Azadirachta indica at Hyderabad, Telangana. The study reveals that the above ground components were contributed 71.82% and below ground components contributed 28.17 % to the total biomass and carbon of the Simarouba glauca tree. In that, secondary branch component was recorded highest biomass and carbon allocation of31.92 per cent followed by primary branch, primary root and stem. Of the total biomass and carbon stored in ten year old Azadirachta indica plantation, 63.91 % was allocated in the above ground components where as 36.08 % carbon was allocated in the below ground components of the trees. In that maximum biomass and carbon was allocated in primary roots (29.54%) followed by primary branch, secondary branch and stem.
