Forests play a significant role in climate change mitigation by sequestering and storing morerncarbon from the atmosphere which is released by anthropogenic causes. This study wasrnconducted to estimate the carbon stock and its Contribution to Climate Change Mitigation inrnMeskele Gedam Forest in the Amhara National Regional State, Semen Shewa, Ethiopia. Samplernplots were laid along line transects based on altitudinal variation of the study area. A systematicrnrandom sampling of (20 m x 20 m) in each site was adopted. The data was collected from thernfield by measuring plants with a DBH of â‰¥ 5 cm and the carbon stocks of each plant werernanalyzed by using allometric equations. From this study the mean total carbon stock of MeskelernGedam forest was 310.43 t/ha, of which 146.34 t/ha, 29.27 t/ha, 3.03 t/ha and 131.79 t/ha, werernobserved to be in the above ground carbon, below ground carbon, litter carbon and soil organicrncarbon in (0-20 m depth), respectively. The carbon stocks in aboveground, belowground, litterrnbiomass and soil organic carbon exhibited distinct patterns along altitudinal gradients. Thernabove and below ground carbon stock showed that decreasing trend with increasing altitudernwhile litter carbon stock showed no clear trend along altitudinal gradients and statistically therernwas no strong relationship between each of these carbon pools and altitudinal gradients.rnTherefore, the results of this study have positive role in reduction of greenhouse gases andrncontributing to climate change mitigation.rnKey Words: Biomass, Climate change, Forest carbon stock, Meskele Gedam forest, Soil organicrncarbon
