Popis: The rate of biomass accumulation and carbon stocks of 13 different clones of Teak in Odisha were studied to identify the promising genotypes suitable for massive clonal plantations in Odisha. ORANP2 produced highest biomass among the 13 clones of teak i.e. 223.72m3/ha, while ORANP1 registered lowest value of 64.05m3/ha in regards to biomass accumulation. The total carbon stock values were found in the range of 32.02-111.86t/ha for 13 different clones of teak. The Mean Annual Increment (MAI) value for total tree biomass lies between 1.91t/ha to 4.76t/ha in different clones of teak studied. Similarly the total CO2 content was evinced to be varied from 128.77 to 440.21t/ha among the clones studied. The Current Annual Increment (CAI) values for total carbon stock and carbon content varied from 0.95-2.38t/ha and 3.50-8.73t/ha with the net annual carbon storage was found to be within 2.91-8.16t/ha. ORANP2 was found to be superior one in terms of net biomass and carbon content. It was ascertained that selection of suitable teak clone is highly required to meet both economic and environmental obligations.
