Abstract Evaluation of Above Ground Biomass produced by Dendrocalamus asper in North Western Himalayan Region of India Anjuli Agarwal* & J P Purwar GBPUA&T Agricultural Research Station, Majhera Garampani (Nainital) 263 135 Uttarakhand, India *Corresponding Author Bamboos, ubiquitous in there distribution and having high productivity can be the ideal species to establish carbon sinks. Regression model was developed to predict the above ground biomass produced by Dendrocalamus asper in the mid hills of North Western Himalayan region of India. Biomass produced by D. asper was evaluated on fresh & dry weight basis at two aspects in two year old plantation. Micropropagated plants were used for the plantation. Biomass produced after the plantation was 17% higher at the hill top as compared to river bank on the fresh weight basis and 19.8 per cent higher on dry weight basis. Soil carbon status was also evaluated before and after the plantation. Per cent soil carbon also varied at the hill top and near the river bank. However, increase in soil carbon was noted at both the aspects two years after the plantation. Introduction Bamboo, due to its biological characteristic and growth habits, is not only an ideal economic investment but also has enormous potential for alleviating many environmental problems facing the world today. Bamboo, being the fastest growing plant removes more carbon from the atmosphere in any given period. Bamboo accumulates biomass quickly and offers the opportunity to maintain and increase carbon stocks through carbon sequestration. India has an estimated 8.96 million ha of bamboo forests with an annual production of only 4.5 million tones (Rawat & Pal 2004). Though, biomass production and carbon storage estimation has been done in various species of bamboo in India as well as in the world but biomass accumulation varies with environmental, anthropogenic and topographical factors from species to species. In India many studies on biomass production in bamboo have been conducted, in Madhya Pradesh on Dendrocalamus strictus (Singh & Singh 1999), Tamilnadu on Bambusa bambos (Shanmughavel & Francis 2001), in a dry deciduous forest of Uttar Pradesh on D. strictus (Singh et al. 2004) and in the central Himalayan Region on Thamnocalamus spathiflorus (Saxena et al. 2001). Himalayas are extremely rich in biodiversity and ‘sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem’ is one of the missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change. In Uttarakhand state of India, very large portion of the area is mountain region and there is a great pressure on the forests in the rural areas for timber and fodder because of which all around the villages there are lots of degraded lands.
