Therefore, this st udy was objectively carried out to compare the growing stock, carbon stock and biodiversity in and around Banke National Park (BaNP). The map of the study was prepared it was divided into six blocks were delineated specifically. Altogether 90 sample plots, particularly, 15 plots in each block were laid in the field. Circular nested plots having 8.92, 5.64, 1 and 0.56 m radius were established in the field to measure tree, poles, sapling and seedlings respectively. The soil samples were collected from 0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm depth. The diameter (at 1.3 m) and height of trees/poles/sapling were measured. The biomass was estimated using equation of Chave et al, and soil carbon was analyzed using Walkley and Black method. It was found that 104 trees/ha, 416poles/ha and 1991saplings/ha in BaNP. -
