The average AGB and C were recorded 239.45 &plusmn; 12.8 Mg ha<sup>-1</sup> and 119.73 &plusmn; 6.4 Mg ha<sup>-1</sup>. Density distribution curve indicates the high carbon sequestration potential of the stand in near future which further helps in climate change mitigation. Currently, conservation measures are well imposed in combine effort of local community and government. Legal involvement of local community in conservation exercises along with the forest department might be very effective in management of Sal forests.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v3i4.11743">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v3i4.11743</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><strong>International Journal of Environment</strong></p><p class="Default">Volume-3, Issue-4, Sep-Nov 2014</p><p class="Default">Page: 147-155</p><p>&nbsp;</p> ER -
