Urban forests have a role in climate regulation by managing greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this study was to assess the potential carbon (C) stock of both above ground biomass (AGB) and below-ground biomass (BGB) in the un-conserved Entoto mount forest and to determine their contribution to mitigating climate change and enhancing ecosystem services. The selected study sites recorded a total of 417 trees, with Eucalyptus globulus covering 45.08% of the species and Juniperus procera covering 38.13%. The average AGB was 114.28 ton/hectare (t/ha), while BGB it was 22.28 t/ha. The average C content in the AGB was 53.73 t/ha, while in the BGB it was 10.81 t/ha. This study enhances the comprehension of the forest’s present ecological condition and facilitates decision-making processes for conservation and sustainable development. |
