The study was conducted in the three forest ranges of Dehra Dun Forest Division of Doon Valley, Western Himalaya, India. Biomass and carbon status in the moist deciduous forest were estimated using volumetric equations. A total of 150 quadrats were laid in the study sites. The biomass ranged from 338.40Mg ha^(-1) to 438.17Mg ha^(-1) and carbon stocks from 169.20Mg ha^(-1) to 219.08Mg ha^(-1) in different study sites. The study concludes that moist deciduous forests of Doon Valley have the potential for carbon sequestration. The study sites are also experiencing lot of anthropogenic pressures from the villages at the forest fringes.
