Plant attributes viz MAI diameter, MAI height, AGB and BGB and total biomass of trees exhibited significant variations among tree species however, &lt;em&gt;A. lebbeck&lt;/em&gt; was found to have highest MAI diameter while &lt;em&gt;E. globulus&lt;/em&gt; scored the highest MAI height among all other trees of investigation. Total biomass was found maximum 30.16 q/tree followed with 16.66 q/tree in &lt;em&gt;A. lebbeck&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;E. globulus&lt;/em&gt; respectively as compared to average biomass of all tree species (8.15 q/tree). The performances of &lt;em&gt;D. indica&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;D. sissoo&lt;/em&gt; were poor as they rendered less biomass in entisol soil. Total carbon stocks of plantation was estimated highest (942.50 t/ha) in &lt;em&gt;A. lebbeck&lt;/em&gt; followed by &lt;em&gt;E. globulus&lt;/em&gt; (520.62 t/ha), &lt;em&gt;T. arjuna&lt;/em&gt; (143.12 t/ha), &lt;em&gt;A. indica&lt;/em&gt; (106.87 t/ha) etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p></abstract><kwd-group><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Mean Annual Increment</kwd><kwd> Biomass</kwd><kwd> Entisol soil</kwd><kwd> Carbon storage</kwd></kwd-group><counts><ref-count count='' /><page-count count='' /></counts></article-meta></front></article>
