Online published on 21 July, 2012. Abstract Carbon stock in Eucalyptus tereticornis based agroforestry system was estimated in eleven blocks of Saharanpur district of Utter Pradesh. Data were recorded on tree parameters from boundary plantation of 2 to 10 years ages on farmer's fields. Average tree height and diameter at breast height (dbh) were found to be 7.15 m and 5.87 cm at the age of 2 years, which grew to 19.26 m and 16.70 cm at 6 years and increased upto 28.41 m and 24.77 cm, respectively at the age of 10 years. The average wood volume (m3 tree−1) was estimated to be 0.13 at 6-years age, 0.254 at 8-years age and 0.354 at 10-years age. Estimation of biomass productivity varied from 13.6 t ha−1 for 6-year old to 33.81 t ha−1 for 10-year old plantations. Carbon stock was estimated to be 6.122 t ha−1 for 6-year old, 11.916 t ha−1 for 8-year-old and 16.649 t ha−1 for 10year-old plantation by considering tree density of 200 trees ha−1. CO2 equivalent carbon come out to be 22.45 t C ha−1 for 6-year-old, 43.69 t C ha−1 for 8-year-old and 61.05 t C ha−1 for 10-year-old plantation.
