A study was conducted to know the carbon sequestration potential of few selected tree species at Forest College and Research Institute, Mettupalayam. 26 tree species were selected and categorized into different height class as 0-3 m, 3-6 m and 6-9 m from various institutions of Coimbatore. The growth parameters such as height, Diameter at Breast Height were recorded and estimated the biomass carbon. The calculated biomass was then converted into mass of carbon sequestered. These data allowed us to estimate the total mass of carbon sequestered. Maximum biomass accumulation was recorded in height class 6 m to 9 m found in Delonix regia (157.64 kg tree-1) and the minimum was recorded in Gmelina arborea (0.19 kg tree-1) in the height class 0-3 m.
