The present investigation was carried out in Sindh range, Ganderbal forest division in of Kashmir Province to identify variation in different silvopastoral systems (T 1 - Cedrus deodara , T 2 - Robinia pseudoacacia, T 3 - Cupressus torulosa, T 4 - Prunus arminiaca , T 5 - Ailanthus altissima , T 6 - mixed plantations and T 7 - grassland) in terms of biomass production and carbon stock potential. The maximum value of above ground tree biomass (80.57 t ha -1 ), belowground tree biomass (20.14 t ha -1 ) and total tree biomass (100.70 t ha -1 ) was recorded in Ailanthus altissima stand and follows the trend T 5 >T 1 >T 3 >T 2 >T 6 >T 4 . In case of shrubs, the maximum value of aboveground, belowground and total shrub biomass (4.17 t ha -1 , 1.75 t ha -1 and 5.92 t ha -1 respectivey) was found in grassland and minimum values were found under cedrus deodara stand, as it contains only one shrub i.e. Berberis lycium . The highest aboveground herb biomass production (13.58 t ha -1 ) was recorded under T 4 - Prunus arminiaca , below ground biomass was recorded under grassland with a value of 3.24 t ha -1 and the total herb biomass production follows the trend T 4 > T 7 >T 5 >T 2 >T 3 >T 6 >T 1 . The total vegetational carbon stock in terms of tons per hectare varied between 8.18 t ha -1 to 52.39 t ha -1 and follows trend: Ailanthus altissima (52.39 t ha -1 ) > Cedrus deodara (45.13 t ha -1 ) > Cupressus torulosa (30.44 t ha -1 ) > Robinia pseudoacacia (22.77 t ha -1 ) > Prunus arminiaca (13.90 t ha -1 ) > T7- grassland (9.68 t ha -1 ) > mixed stand (8.18 t ha -1 ).
