Abstract:
In the present study, carbon stocks of scattered structures of Trees outside Forest (TOF) in Prakasam district was estimated through sampling of 116 plots of size, 1 ha. Total number of individuals recorded in the sampled plots are 5014 with a mean stem density, 43.22 in a range of 18-92 per ha plot. The total biomass accounts for 3685.6 Mg. The mean carbon pool density of the sampled plots is 15.09 Mg ha-1 ranges between 2.18 and 73.90 Mg ha-1 and the total carbon pool for the sampled area is 1750.44 Mg.
