Above-Ground Carbon Stock — Makwanpur Community Forests

Above-Ground Carbon Stock — Makwanpur Community Forests

Objective: Estimate above-ground carbon stocks in three community forests for REDD+ baseline.

Methodology: Systematic random sampling using 0.1 ha circular plots. Applied species-specific allometric equations.

Findings: Closed forest: 187.4 tC/ha; Selectively harvested: 124.8 tC/ha; Open-access: 68.3 tC/ha.

Learnings: Management regime is the dominant driver of carbon density in community-managed landscapes.
