Carbon management in forests is the global concern to mitigate the increased concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere. Reviving forest cover and finding low cost methods to sequester carbon is emerging as a major international policy goal. However the global forest cover is dwindling fast in view of great biotic pressure, industrialization, urbanization, land use changes and conversion of forests to agricultural land. Agroforestry systems can play an important role in carbon mitigation programmes through carbon sequestration and can reduce the pressure on existing natural forests by providing fuel, fodder, timber and wood products to the farmers. Biomass and carbon allocation in Poplar agroforestry plantation in the Tarai region of central Himalaya, India have been studied and it is found that the Poplar agroforestry plantation in the Tarai region of central Himalaya had a significant amount of biomass and carbon, which acts as an additional carbon sink in the region.
