Forest soil organic carbon inventory1. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has recognized SoilOrganic Carbon pool as one of the five major carbon pools forLULUCF sector2. SOC pools are being estimating in the soils under different landuses viz. Forests (under all forests covers available inUttarakhand), Block plantations, Agro forestry (different agroforestry models), Horticulture (different orchards) andGrasslands (alpine and sub alpine) in Uttarakhand state3.
