Abstract: This study was conducted in Mount Damota area in Wolaita, which is known as a potential area for enset based agriculture. This thesis work aimed at estimating the aboveground and belowground biomass, necromass, and soil organic carbon and thereby understanding the contribution of enset (Ensete ventricosum) plantation to climatic change mitigation via examining the carbon sequestration potential. The biomass and carbon stock of enset were determined by using both destructive and non-destructive methods.
