Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the carbon stock of mixed fruit tree-based agrofores try system
and deciduous forest under normal condition and natural succession at 9 years of landslide. The
carbon stock was calculated from the total amount of carbon in ecosystems, including aboveground
biomass (stem, branch, leaf, and bamboo), below-ground biomass (tree root), and soil
organic carbon. Valuation of carbon stock was based on the carbon credit mechanism regarding
the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), which is the mos t popular international standards for the
voluntary carbon market. The result indicated that the mixed deciduous forest with bamboo the
highest carbon seques tration amount at 107.19 tCO2e/rai, followed by mixed deciduous forest and
mixed fruit tree-based agrofores try system, 95.63 and 74.23 tCO2e/rai, respectively. Under natural
succession process caused by landslide, the highes t carbon seques tration was occurred in agrofores
try system, followed by mixed deciduous forest and mixed deciduous forest with bamboo with
61.54, 30.37 and 29.03 tCO2e/rai, respectively. Maepoon sub-district provided the carbon stock
value of 724,301,483.40 baht for within the area of 73,815.20 rai. The data can be used as guide
line for fores t ecosys tem res toration in the ups tream areas for increasing the amount of carbon
dioxide absorption to mitigate the problem by greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.
